Page 142 … condemning ourselves
“If these churches are condoning the homosexual and telling everyone that it is OK to partake in the sexual act, or even if they are condoning fornication – or any other sexual immorality, then they are going against the teachings of God and they are condoning sin … and they are thereby condemning themselves!”
Ummm – What do you mean by this statement, my Friend? Do you mean that you have personally decided that Christians who do not interpret the Bible like you do will be condemned? … Really? … Have you personally cleared this with God, and have it directly from Him? … He actually personally granted you that authority; an authority that he has denied to the vast majority of the world’s other 2+ billion Christians – including the vast majority of the world’s current & past Biblical scholars? … Really?!?! (I think not!)
“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.” ~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 18:3-4)
P.S. And what exactly do you mean by “condemned” here, my Friend — if you would be so kind? And on top of that, how does it make you feel to know that so many deeply earnest believers (and so many more truly Good & Moral unbelievers) are going to be damned to an eternity in Hell simply for not bowing down correctly to your God? Do you just not care about them? How do you deal with that abject injustice? Do you just shrug your shoulders and say to yourself, “Oh well – tough luck for them. I didn’t make the rules”? … How does that make you feel about your God? How can you even imagine looking Him in the eye and feeling anything other than disgust for what He has done to those innately Good Souls? I mean, I believe wholeheartedly that you are a patently Kind & sincerely Caring person, Lucy, so you worshiping such a cruel & callous celestial tyrant-king really makes no sense to me … Maybe you could explain this to me. I would really appreciate it if you would at least try.
