Page 533 … Condoning what God does not
“I think it is your lack of understanding of the Word of God that has you condoning everything that God does not!”
Hmmm … I am actually quite intrigued by this comment, Lucy, as I’m not sure what it is that I am condoning that God does not. Compassion, perhaps? I am condoning that, and yet so does God (see Matthew 18:21-22 + Luke 6:36) … Humility, perhaps? No, God & Jesus – like me – are both huge fans of Humility (see Proverbs 11:2 & Proverbs 18:12 & Micah 6:8 & Matthew 18:3-4) … Do you mean Justice? No, that can’t be it either, as it is you & yours who are violating that principle with your incorrectly ignorant condemnations of even the sinless homosexual … Maybe you mean Integrity? – or even basic Decency? No again, as both of those values are being championed by yours truly as well … How about Love, then? No – again, it is actually I who am honoring that principle by encouraging you & yours to stop judgmentally harassing homosexuals and adopt The Way of Jesus Christ instead (see Matthew 7:1-5 + Matthew 5:48 + 1 John 4:18 + Matthew 23:25-26 et al) … So please, Lucy, do tell where I am in any way contradicting The Way of Jesus Christ or the will of his heavenly Father in this thread. I don’t remember ever having done so, and will be sincerely thankful to you for pointing out any such mistake I might have inadvertently made.
And while you are at it, my dear, you & yours might want to look and see where you are condoning the things that Jesus Christ (and therefore his Father) quite clearly does not – like arrogance (Matthew 18:3-4 + Matthew 23:12 et al), and prejudice (Matthew 5:44 + Luke 6:37 et al), and condemnation (Matthew 18:21-22 + Matthew 7:1-2 et al), and hypocrisy (Matthew 7:3-5 + Matthew 23:25-26) …
What do you say?
