LETTER: Group preaches out of love, not hate

Alicia Ebaugh’s column about our wonderful picket of the fag

parade (a pitiful turn out by the fags, I must note) is a stark

illustration of the results of systematically lying to an entire

generation about eternity.

This young lady believes life is about her views, her feelings

and what she wants. In fact, it’s about God and what He wants, and

the duty of all mankind to study the scriptures and to fear God and

keep his commandments. That idea is just “crazy” to young Alicia,

let alone the thought someone would expend their own resources

(time, energy and money) publishing this message.

You have a definition problem. It is true that we are to love

our brothers. The elect of God have a benevolent love for their

fellow man, which is why they warn them to flee the wrath to

come.

If, as we say, and as every human is created to intuitively

understand, there is a God, there is a real place called hell, and

eternity is forever, where do you find anything loving when false

prophets and other responsible adults teach children things that

will land them in hell?

Where is the love in encouraging a lifestyle that by all reports

is extraordinarily harmful to the body, mind, heart and soul — and

will cost you eternal punishment?

That’s not love Alicia; that’s hate. And it’s the most selfish

kind of hate, because people promote these lies so they can feel OK

about their own sin.

I would venture a guess that we are the first people you’ve ever

met who truly love you.

If you are going to present yourself as a Bible scholar, you

should tell the truth about the Bible. The scriptures don’t say

“women have no place in the church.” Rather, the New Testament is

plain on the requirement that women remain silent during the

worship service and not pretend to be preachers. They are supposed

to be present, singing the hymns, listening and learning, and fully

engaged otherwise in the ministering to the saints and publishing

the word of truth.

That’s God’s standard, and there are a lot of good reasons for

it enunciated in these passages. You hate this standard as much as

you hate the standard against anal copulation.

That’s because you hate God.

Meanwhile, you testify in your column to the good information

the young people on that picket line kindly gave you.

You don’t refute the points they made: that the media is awash

in promoting this filth and that God doesn’t love an unrepentant

proud sinner. Instead, you fill up space with

wallowing-will-worship that adds nothing to the discussion and

merely further deludes your readers. All fluff; no stuff.

The good news is that this qualifies you to be a card-carrying

member of the American media!

A final word about judgment. If you truly believed you shouldn’t

judge, you would have never written your editorial. Because it’s

nothing but a loosely-knit, weakly-reasoned judgment against

us.

If you carefully consider the very words you quoted, you will

see that it says if you set up a standard by which you judge, you

will be held to that standard.

Alicia, you set up the Great Non-Judgment Standard, and measured

against that standard, you failed! That makes you nothing more than

another garden variety big, fat hypocrite!
