Page 433 … special Scriptures

“I won’t pay [your Scripture references] any attention because I know [they are] being specially picked to get your point across.”   Lucy, aside from this statement quite clearly having your pot calling my kettle black (after all, you are the one who is ignoring by far the greater number of verses in this thread […]

Page 437 … Long live the King

You make the initial statement that an “omniscient, omnipotent Being is responsible for your existence. Your continued well-being is totally dependent upon His whim.  Is it not in your best interest to determine what He desires of you, what is acceptable and unacceptable to Him?”   Lucy, by offering this particular quote you are not […]

Pages 438-439 … down on ALL sin

You thereafter note that, “the Bible is the final authority on sin and its consequences”  and you go off on sin quite extensively thereafter – quoting Galatians 5:19-21 to somehow indirectly show that “sin is a disease, a great spiritual cancer.”   Fair enough, my Friend.   If this truly is the case – if sin […]

Page 441 … the homosexual sin

“This thread was about homosexuals, not anything else.  That is why I addressed mostly the homosexual sin.”   Again, my Friend , this is exactly my point.  For you & yours to single out homosexuality itself is bigoted, first & foremost because homosexuality itself is NOT A SIN in the Bible.   And for you to […]

Page 443 … strengthening God’s Word

“You think it bothers me when you call me a bigot or a hypocrite?  On the contrary, it only strengthens God’s Word to me.  I see so clearly the distortion of what you are trying to do — to change God’s Word to suit you and your so-called followers (if you have any).  And  I […]

Page 445 … the only Authority

“You, on the other hand, tell homosexuals that their sin is OK if they just love each other, which is NOT what the Bible tell us.  So who made you the authority, Scaughdt?”   Once again, my Friend, if you and I are to even pretend to have a conversation here, you are simply going […]

Page 446 … to have His Glory

“But I know you want control so you can have His glory, because you say you live like Jesus — spreading love and telling everyone sin is OK and that there is no price to pay for sin.”   Nope – wrong again, my dear Friend.  And again, wrong in a way that I have […]

Page 447 … to preach the Gospel

You then cite Luke 24:47 to claim that “Jesus COMMANDED us to preach the gospel of repentance of sin … And that repentance and release from bondage of sins should be preached in his name among all nations.”   At the risk of sounding fully despondent, I sigh-out-loud once again, for once again I have […]

Pages 450-452 … on mixing Lust & Love

Cyrus:   Scaughdt, you are mixing up LOVE and LUST … We are suppose to love each other, not lust for each other.   I love my little dog, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to have sex with him … I also have a lot of friends whom I care for a lot, and yes they […]

Page 458 … the God-constant: a constant God

“God’s standards of holiness did not change with the coming of Jesus, because God does not change (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8).”   Well, aside from the fact that this claim isn’t entirely accurate (see 2 Chronicles 7:12-16 vs Acts 7:48 – and 1 Kings 8:12 vs 1 Timothy 6:16 – and Exodus 33:11 vs John […]

Page 459 … the continuing revelation

“The New Testament is a continuing revelation of God’s interaction with humanity.   God hated idolatry in the Old Testament (Deuteronomy 5:8), and He still hates it in the New (1 John 5:21).”   YES, my Friend!   I agree with this statement wholeheartedly … And, ironically enough, you & yours have not only chosen to worship […]
