    So you aren’t actually looking to engage, but just shout in an echo chamber. Or maybe you’re feeling conviction because deep down you know what I’m saying is true and it hurts because you cannot be your own god. That’s okay, I have been there once.

    But be careful. On the day of Judgement many will say ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then He will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

        Me? Blaspheming? I’m just shining a light on what the inspired and infallible word of God says. Baselessly accusing people of blasphemy doesn’t make you right.

        Matthew 26:65

        Then the high priest tore his robes and said, “He has uttered blasphemy. What further witnesses do we need? You have now heard his blasphemy.

        Maybe Jesus’ teaching is dangerous, as you said.

        Matthew 16:24-25

        Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

        Jesus tells me to kill myself? Surely I’m the one in charge though, what a horrible god

            Quite common for Pharisees like you to try and drive away their critics when their feelings are challenged and they have no proper response.

            Acts 4:17-20

            But in order that it may spread no further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more to anyone in this name.” So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.”

            Acts 13:49-52

            And the word of the Lord was spreading throughout the whole region. But the Jews incited the devout women of high standing and the leading men of the city, stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their district. But they shook off the dust from their feet against them and went to Iconium. And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

            And pass this along to those so-called “progressive” “pastors” in your “Church” who seek nothing more than for secular society to speak well of them and like them and popularity.

            Luke 6:26

            Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.

                  Go read your Bible and tell me what it says about using God’s word for frivolous purposes like advancing your ridiculous homophobic agenda. Don’t reply until you’ve done so.

                    What homophobic agenda? Describe to me in detail what you believe my “homophobic agenda” is.
