God said, and Jesus said also (if we're differentiating between God and the Word of God which indeed came in the flesh, therefore becoming, and having always been and always intended to be God [not that there's any difference between saying you are while intentionally not saying you aren't and, for lack of a better or simply more homosexually SENSITIVE word, allowing others their free will to believe or not believe you when you speak and believe themselves what they've heard and seen, while believing and not believing you when they choose; that's what Jesus, the son of man, the Word of God did and I refuse to allow this response to be read in any way other than with the knowledge and realization that I have the utmost respect for God and his one true offspring and nothing in this passage is said in a way that allows for interpretation. This entire response is specifically to the above quoted response but should be read in a way that excludes compassion for all sinners, herewith mentioned.] ...continued from before brackets...then I've mentioned them both here to display, through text, my refusal to worship idols, accept the idea of partners with god, and not recognize or accept God in the flesh, in his own true form.)...continued from before parentheses...I am that I am, I am the way, the word, and the light. He (They) also said all sinners and the unrighteous (and the immoral because in today's world the term immoral is being further and further distanced from homosexuality and other things like it, but I digress) would not inherit the kingdom of God. Only those that walk in the way and by the way, in the light and by the light and I am it. However, and this is the most disturbing facet of Christianity today; churches, church members, and politicians take what what Jesus didn't say and fill in the blanks with ideas and assumptions that as time changes, so do the words of Jesus, so do God's words. God and Jesus and even Jesus apostles and disciples (in their letters) state explicitly that this isn't true. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow; My words will never disappear; many false prophets will come claiming to speak for me; for any of those in the nations that want to be one of my people and follow in my ways keep the law and the sabbath day; the law is for sinners, not righteous people; every bit of the law will be kept, or held to the end. Salvation is for those that dedicate themselves to God in everything they do because God has provided a way to exist even among the nations in all there godlessness. God said, I will deliver them (in this case the nations and their people) into the hands of their enemies, but he also says (through Jesus) give to ceasar (Rome) what is ceasars, and to God what is God's. You are God's own, he is the one and only, the creator and you must love him with all your heart because there is none other but him and he is the only worthy of praise, hence my refusal to worship idols. Therefore, God preaches freedom among the nations, not freedom among religion; you can change what the nations do and say, but God does not change. Salvation, eternal life, is for his people, not the nations; in scripture this idea reads as my people among the nations or my people from among the nations, and God said himself that he would gather his people from among the nations numerous times and it is also said that the messiah would do that. So in terms of salvation for those people and how to achieve it, it can not be earned and God, Jesus, and his disciples all said the same thing and made similar arguments as toward that fact. God knows all things and already knows those elect. Everyone else must repent that their redemption in hell will be swift and painless because God said, the second death will have no power over those that are raised in the first resurrection; those that hate their life will keep it forever and those that love their life will lose it; everyone must pick up their cross and carry it; I am going to kill every living thing on earth (Zechariah, for relevance because its near the end, not the beginning where he talks about the flood); those that are holy must go on being holy, filthy must go on being filthy (Revelation 22); I will live with them and I will be their god and they will see my face; I will weigh their sins against their good works and decide judgment; my messiah, my servant will do all these things and more.
