This is a wild and flailing rant, with which I mostly agree, (I think), except your postulate that “there is no cure”
Just as God has said the sins of His Nation Israel are “incurable” :
Jeremiah 30:12-14
"For thus says the LORD: 'Your affliction is incurable, Your wound is severe. There is no one to plead your cause, That you may be bound up; You have no healing medicines. All your lovers have forgotten you; They do not seek you; For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, With the chastisement of a cruel one, For the multitude of your iniquities, Because your sins have increased.
He then actually does offer The Cure!:
Jeremiah 30:17
For I will restore health to you, and heal you of your wounds,’ says the LORD, 'Because they called you an outcast saying: “This is Zion; No one seeks her.”
God Himself is the cure.
You also said:
This prophecy is unfounded, unscriptural, and inflammatory. Nobody is “killing”, even though sin surely is.
I know that you ascribe to the teachings of Terry Pratchett, and you publish his fantastic words of his fabled specter “Death”: “You need to believe in things that aren’t true, how else will they become?”.
In this quote, “Death” is tryng to convince Susan that things like justice, mercy and duty do not really exist. But they do exist, in an Eternal Person, Jesus. And they do exist in all those who He has called into His body. Not because we believe in them, but even though most don’t. All your raging against the body of Christ will not erase the mercy and justice regularly promoted and fought for by God’s through His ecclesia.
I hope this is understood in the Spirit in which it is offered.

Sir Terry Pratchett (1948–2015), one of the most widely read fantasy writers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, knighted for services to literature.
It is a prophecy based on history. This has happened before, it will happen again.
And so is this prophecy Those who bring great suffering upon others will reap great suffering upon themselves.
And as I said, these are your family members. Your blood. Your future. Your past.
And yes, it is an emotional plea toward decency.
But don’t take my word for it. History will unfold as it will.
But historically, the Nazis rounded up the Homosexuals with the Jews. Odd that a child born of sin would be treated in the same manner as God’s original chosen people. They have been targeted and murdered. Mathew Shepherd is one of many names of young people killed because of the rhetoric used against them by the church.
In the time when Moses was born, babies were rounded up and murdered. As it was in the days when Christ was born.
A focus to murder a group of people usually marks a reality that the devil does not want born. The death of many to stop one who will come that will rise above all others for a Divine purpose. To lead, to heal, to save, to restore.
Perhaps a Messianic figure akin to Joseph in the book of Genesis will arise to save a multitude of lives. Or perhaps a Spiritual leader that will restore faith or guide us through an age of Spiritual Darkness.
But it is also possible that a prophecy was given to the Church a very long time ago that a man or woman would rise up to bring an end to it. And succeed. I do not know of such things. But it would explain why the Church is so hell bent to kill all of them. As the Church behaves so much like Pharoah and Caesar to destroy life, and refuses to let go of its destructive obsession.
Yes, a beautiful quote regarding Santa Clause and higher aspirations. We start by believing in a fictional character that teaches children about charity, in order to help children to believe in charity itself.
If you ground up all the universe, where would you find one ounce of charity in all its workings? It is only a reality in the minds and workings of man. But we start young by believing in the smaller lie that we might work up to the bigger lie so that it might become real throuh us.
The same with all such qualities. In you and through you, by your focus focus and your faith, worlds of reality are born into reality or fade to nonexistence.
In one reality, the sun rises again after 3 days of darkness. In another, there is just a ball of fire that appears in the sky.
Such is the enlightenment of man toward meaning, through fantasy and dream and becoming something more than a beast in the field.
Why are you referring to homosexuals as “born of sin”?
But historically, the Nazis rounded up the Homosexuals with the Jews. Odd that a child born of sin would be treated in the same manner as God’s original chosen people.
Sorry @Tillman these posts are difficult to understand. Also what “Church” are you referring to that is killing?
I would hope that when someone comes foward seeking guidance from scripture, that we offer God’s truth with love in our hearts not condemnation. That is the difference with Christians.
@SFsergio
He’s quoting the character “Death”, (without quotation marks or attribution) from a scene in Terry Pratchett’s fantasy novel, Hogfather (Father Christmas). I haven’t seen it either.
Look at their replies. This is indicative of who they are and what they lack. Do not chase after an acceptance or love they will never give. In the words of Jennifer Knapp, look for “a faith that will be faithful” to you.
There is a path you can walk where you are both a Christian and accepted as a gay person. But it will never be with them.
God’s love is uncondtional, and God’s plan is beyond anything they can imagine.
Ask God to seperate truth from lie, and then pull every thread you can find until whatever power they hold over you is undone.
Yes, @Tillman, but those are the obvious sinners. I have dealt with professing Christians who seem to be believers, but they do unChristian things and deviate from God’s path as well as unchurched believers who are really believers who have been turned off by the church at some point. My point is that people’s outward actions don’t always show me whether or not they are genuinely committed Christians; only God knows their hearts. Thus, I leave them in God’s hands to judge them now and at the final judgment.
