Re: Supreme Court Nonsense

[MichaelJ]

What we have here is, simply put this.

Christians who refuse to take the beam out of their own eye, before trying to take the mote out of others.

Christians, who, are acting exactly as the pharisees of Jesus day behaved.

As for example, when they were oh so happy to stone Mary Magdalene, so long as they themselves wouldn't have their own sins exposed and judged.

The Lord not only called those people, vipers, hypocrites, liars, thieves, and murderers whom he hates. He also said that it would be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than it would be for them to enter his kingdom.

And he even went so far, at one point, as to intentionally, with what is called in the law today, "malice aforethought" assault them physically. Which since it was done with "malice aforethought" would carry a stiffer jail sentence for example.

IN short it's worse than just a simple assault, that happens say, at the spur of the moment, in the heat of an argument.

That's what the lord said, about people who try to think, and teach, that somehow the sins of others, is worse than their own sins.

When God clearly states, uh no it's not. Sin is Sin. All sin is abomination before God. Whether a homosexual, or a heterosexual, whether a rapist, or a teller of little white lies, The Bible states clear as day in black and white text that God cannot abide sin in his presence of any kind.

And that out of all sin, there is only one he will not, ever forgive. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

Yet the Mike Huckabees would have us believe that being gay is the one sin God won't forgive, as if it's somehow worse to be gay, than to be the teller of white lies they themselves maybe, or the wife beater they themselves might be, or the abusive parent, they themselves might be, or the well you get the point.

Your moralizing about forgiveness of sins (or that all sins are bad) forgets one minor detail (as I told you earlier). When you neglect the second part of Jesus command during the woman adulterer passage, that she should "go and sin no more" you appear to be absolving homosexuals (or anyone else) from repentance and changing their ways. Only problem is that the LBGT people don't even think they are sinning so there is no need to repent and confess. What about this do you not understand? We are instructed to love the sinner but not the sin and I think we all agree with that, but if you refuse to even acknowledge the sin, I can't understand how you justify that?

Yes, yes, yes! We get it Inspector Javert - a sin is a sin!

So, you are equating the sin of homosexuality with the sin of lying. As since people who lie are hardly ever punished, or even held to account for their sin, you believe that neither should homosexuals.

Kind of like saying a cop didn't give a guy a parking ticket, so he has no moral authority to stop a bank robber!

What happens if Obama sets up some kind of event at the Supreme Court?
The public will be all ready to blame the Christian Right, and Obama could
proceed with his demonic scheme.
