So the 7th church and its destruction in the OT validates the church of Tony and written comments about "fa**ots on public forums.
And all that NT stuff about loving enemies and forgiveness...the church of Tony has license to disregard it, because of the current exigencies.

Believe what you will Tony. To me, your allegiance looks dedicated more to tribal clan than cross. (that's a paraphrase of a preacher's comment I read today)

I quit allowing others to give me my opinion long ago...
Mr Lied, flip to the back of the Bible and see how it ends.

A man can only take so much provocation.
Even God can only take so much provocation.
What moves me most these days is anger. I see what Charlie's wife made a show of on TV yesterday and I ask myself, as a Christian, am I now expected to forgive every murderous fa&got who makes a political a$$ of himself?

No.

When the bullets are flying and the blood is flowing in the gutters, you don't stand in the midst of battle and shout, "I forgive you!"
It doesn't work that way.

The reason denying God is the only unforgivable sin is simple; If you deny God then you're damned already. You're already dead...

==============
John 3
16For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

18“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

That's what I write songs about.
