Page 521 … Taking it UP with God
“Take it up with God [as] He has the say on all sin.”
Well my Friend, if you are correct and God does turn out to be the ignorant bigot that Leviticus claims Him to be, then you better believe I most certainly will take it up with Him at the next available opportunity! … Of course – at least according to Jesus Christ – this will in all probability not be necessary. For – at least according to Jesus – God’s Grace & His Love & His Mercy are far greater than my own – not far less (as you & yours claim).
“Be perfect [in LOVE] therefore, just as [the LOVE] of your Father in Heaven is perfect … There is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in Love.” ~ Matthew 5:48 + 1 John 4:18
“The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast Love. The Lord is good to all, and His Compassion is over all that He has made.” ~ Psalm 145:8-9
“On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples … And he will destroy on this mountain the shroud that is cast over all peoples, the sheet that is spread over all nations.

“And all flesh shall see the salvation of God” ~ Luke 3:6
