“That being the case, love requires us to condemn every evil, including adultery and homosexuality, while those who tell the guilty that they have no need to repent are guilty of satanic hatred.”

 

Frankly, my dear, there is so much blatantly wrong with this sentence, that I really don’t know where to begin.  While Paul would admittedly have totally agreed with its take on things, Jesus would have actually denounced it openly as one of the greatest of blasphemies!

 

 

*Firstly, seeing as how punishment is of fear (see 1 John 4:18), and seeing as how punishment requires condemnation, and seeing as how true Love knows no fear (see 1 John 4:18) – and therefore knows no punishment (again, see 1 John 4:18), it goes without saying that Love – real, prefect, unconditional Divine Love – actually requires us to avoid condemning sin & to avoid condemning evil at all costs!  Indeed, to do otherwise is to assist and strengthen the force that opposes God Himself – to do so is to actually assist the work of Satan!

 

*Secondly, while adultery is indeed a highly prevalent sin that Jesus clearly & specifically abhorred (see Matthew 7:25-26), homosexuality is not.   Lucy, it would be bad enough for you to call homosexuality a sin, but to label it a form of “evil” is to become an agent of evil yourself!  Indeed, of the 33,000+ verses in the Bible, not one of them ever condemns either homosexuals or homosexuality itself … not a single one!

 

*Thirdly, that you are indeed quoting a live false prophet becomes exceptionally clear when we read his final phrase of this particular statement – “that those who tell the guilty that they have no need to repent are [themselves] guilty of satanic hatred” … I mean, it really doesn’t get any more dysfunctional and non-Divine and anti-Christian than that!!!
