Page 676 … true Ministers of Christ
“It is in this way that the true ministers of Christ are to be identified — by their following the example he set for them (John 13:15).”
And to this final statement I have nothing to say but a hearty AMEN! After all, that is exactly what I have been doing throughout the entirety of this thread, Lucy – and that is exactly what you & yours are not doing whenever you openly condemn homosexuality, or when you openly criticize homosexuals in general (or even when you openly lambast homosexuals who happen to be actually sinning) …
Please, my dear Friend, consider humbly considering the following verses again, – and then please consider having the courage to finally LIVE THEM!
“Do not judge, so that you may not be judged … Why do you see the speck in your neighbor’s eye, but do not notice the log in your own? … You hypocrite! First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the speck from your neighbor’s … You hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup [of others], but inside are full of greed and self-indulgence … First clean the inside of your own cup, so that the outside might also become truly clean … Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this young child is the greatest in the Kingdom … Let [she] who is without sin cast the first stone.” ~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 7:1-2 + Matthew 23:25-26 + Matthew18:3-4 + John 8:7)
