Having Lies Told On Me…….
ust a few minutes ago, I logged onto my Xanga account to find a message from a friend of mine. This blogger informed me that I was “Heavily mentioned” on another blog. I followed the link, and low and behold! There was mention of me. And a distorted one at that. You may read for yourself here. This is what is said about me:
Not long ago mountain girl was offended that I don’t condemn homosexuals, she contacted me to say she didn’t know what god I pray to. The glee she said it with was unmistakeable. The same glee that is too often expressed in condemning someone to hell.
When I pointed all of this out to her, she was offended because she has gay friends. (Interesting how conservatives always have minority friends but they always condemn the same minorities to Hell.) She said her ex-husband’s brother was gay, and “best member of that whole clan” She pointed out that she one defended him for making fun of his station in life. And I certainly agree that she did a good thing in that. But e ither what someone does is evil or it’s not. You can’t have it both ways.
She may claim to love anyone she wishes, yet if she feels no remorse for taking God’s place in condemning them to hell… I told her she could take as much offense as she likes at my previous statements. Truth is often hard to take, but if this offense can leave an opening for the Holy Spirit to help her let go of some fear/hate, then it’s worth it.
Well, it just so happens that I had recorded that entire conversation in a pp blog, and so now, to prove a point, I have made it public. You may read that conversation here, and then decide if he is honest or not.
A few things I would like to point out before you go……Making a statement and taking “glee” in that fact are two different things. Also, telling someone a pretty lie instead of an ugly truth, which the ignorance of will cause them harm, is in no way “love”. And telling out and out lies on someone is not any kindness or at all Christ like. I find it extremely annoying when mentioning something (that is clearly expressed in God’s Word as sin,) as sin, is supposed to be “taking God’s place”. God has already made those things clear, and He instructed us to tell everyone.

Black people automatically go to hell? I’ve lived in the Bible belt all my life and never heard anything like that. Now that I think about it I’ve never heard a preacher even say that all gay people went to hell.
Actually, if you felt “glee” over the condemnation of Gays, then the most effective way of bringing that about would be to tell them that God will accept them just as they are. Then they could go through life blissfully unaware of their possible fate.@socialdemocracyforall - Assuming being gay is anything other than a choice, it is the homosexual act that is condemned, not being “gay.”
@Ranging_Shots - I meant … I’ve never heard anyone say that without exception, people who have gay sex go to hell.
@Ranging_Shots - Although people generally thought that Christians didn’t do that sort of thing…
@socialdemocracyforall - You mean other than the Westboro Baptist whackjobs.
@Ranging_Shots - Nah, they’re not in the Bible belt. They’re in the lunatic belt. It’s a bit smaller.
I would take it as a badge of honor. When folks feel the need to run around and just make things up about you, it means you’ve done something right.
Hi sis. I’ll admit that I didn’t click through to investigate, but I don’t really need to. I know your heart, soft toward God and fellow man both, and I’m just here to give you whatever encouragement I can.Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Mat 5:11-16)Check the verses just before those. Blessed are they who… they they they. But here we get to blessed are YOU! Now that you’re officially blessed, serve him in it. Glorify HIM sister!Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. (Luk 6:26-31)Proud to call you my sister in Christ! – T
