Title: Homosex Essay
Post by: Craig on April 21, 2008, 09:47:59 PM
            Greetings fellow dragon slayer,

            Ray, looks like you joined the world church view with
            your "homosex essay," condemning & snorting their
            moral faults as if they are the scum of the earth,
            modern day lepers if you would.

            But Ray, you should know morality cannot be
            legislated, history has shown it in the 20's with
            alcohol, years & years with the war on drugs &
            billions spent, and yet we still have drugs bought &
            sold everyday on the streets don't we? If anything,
            prohibitions breed immorality.

            To demand perfect morality is the anti-christ. With
            the real Jesus, love has to be won, we have to love &
            trust Him first inwardly, and then when that happens,
            He works on our faults & morals from the inside out.

            To tell the world that sinners & homosexuals must
            clean up their acts first, is the second "in your
            face" voice that we hear mostly in the Old Testament.
            But I declare right now that God does not have a dual
            personality, homicidal rage one day, then sweet mercy
            & kindness the next.

            Jesus came to reveal who our Father really is, and He
            led by example, having a spititual pure quality, free
            from stain or blemish, and as HARMLESS as a kitten
            just like Heb.7:26 says.

            Ray, I'm not telling you how to run your web site, but
            I would make a suggestion: don't use so much vinegar
            in your recipe, but replace it with honey, that way
            you won't be lumped in with those disgusting and fire
            breathing pornographic hell web sites.

            Norm
            Long Beach,Ca.


            Dear Norm:  Oh Norm, get over yourself already!  If the Scriptures offend you, that is not my problem. There is NOTHING in my paper that is not backed up with Scripture. And you have never ever read a paper that is as specific on this subject as mine, and I think you know that. But you think that if you send me a demeaning and condescending email, that it will somehow appease your conscience. Nonsense.

            When you suggest that I "...joined the world church view with
            your [that's my] "homosex essay," condemning & snorting their
            moral faults as if they are the scum of the earth,
            modern day lepers if you would."

            That, Norm, is over-the-top nonsense and comes pretty close to slander. Just WHERE do I "condemn and snort" at gay people "as if they are the scum of the earth, modern day lepers..."  Where.  Seriously, WHERE?

            Here is my parting statement in my paper:

            Heterosexual men are just as weak when it comes to lusting after women, as homosexuals are when it comes to lusting after members of the same gender. The ONLY way that I know of to break these sins and have victory over them is for God to empower you with a greater motivation to live righteously than to live un-righteously. If what you desire to be is "good," then there is only One Source:

                "And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor, It is the gift of God" (Ecc. 3:13).

                "EVERY good gift and EVERY perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning" (James 1:17).

            We will continue to pray for all those who desire to come out of the bondage and slavery of "...the sin which does so easily beset us...." (Heb. 12:1)

            Now then, Norm:  Do you see me "condemning and snorting at gay people as if they were the scum of the earth or lepers?" Well, do you?

            You are out of line, Norm.  You reference:

            Heb 7:26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

            Did you fail to see the phrase "SEPARATE FROM SINNERS," in there?  That Scripture is absolutely true, but don't think that the word "harmless" in that verse gives you a right to sin as your please. A little further on in Hebrews we read this:

            Heb 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

            And a few verses later this:

            Heb 10:26-27 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

            You have now read the numerous references to homosexuality in the Scriptures in my paper on the subject. You have now: "received the knowledge of the truth."  So now what are you going to do. Demean the messenger and DESPISE the Word of God?

            You have no idea who I am or why you came in contact with me. But you have now heard the truth on this subject, and you will be accountable.  I have no ill feelings to homosexuals. We are all sinners as I stated in my closing remarks, but don't be so arrogant as to think that you have found the "harmless" saviour and you are not safe in despising His Word.

            God be with you,

            Ray
