Thank you Vike for joining in to defend the gospel.

ALL sin (except the sin of rejecting the gospel) is forgiven in the gospel. ALL sin, and WITHOUT a probationary period required. This is because under the gospel, the person makes a valid decision to accept Jesus’ embrace to save his or her eternal life from damnation. (Usually at the time it happens, the decision is a no-brainer.) Now Jesus has taken responsibility for that person’s sins, and fruit to the glory of the Lord will begin to appear. The person will find his or her desires more and more attuned to the Lord as time progresses, and the Lord will cheerfully accept it if the person asks for the Lord to be glorified in a certain area of his or her life. Now lessons by the Teacher from Heaven will commence. Competent spiritual guidance by mature Christians under the control of the Holy Spirit at this juncture can make the process much quicker. God drilled me the hard way, making me discover each step in His school of hard knocks, but I now get the picture that He wanted me to stand on Him quite independent of other men. And in doing so He gave me a rock solid confidence in the power of the gospel. Praise belongs to Him for this. Praise does not belong to me. I was an oaf before Him. A big, big oaf. And if God can save a big oaf like me he can save anyone.

I cheerfully confess that yes, I am clumsy. Maybe I showed too little patience last night. But folks who single out any sin as unforgivable under the gospel (other than that of forever rejecting the gospel, which is witnessed supernaturally to men by the Holy Spirit as preachers share the word of life) are indeed sailing down God’s laugh track. Psalm 2 was written about them. We have an intensely gracious God here who is commanding all men everywhere to repent now, having previously overlooked the times of ignorance. Get with the salvation program or become the laughable fool... no third choice folks.

I wish God’s blessings (not His approvals, blessings — blessings are the way God undoes curses) to all. Yes even to Mr. Y.

You speak mostly confusikon with your chaff.
There is very little grain in what you present. I showed you yesterday how you misrepresented Psalm 2, so I'll say it again.
Very interesting source that you choose to use.
Let's put it in context: Very revealing, isn't it?
The HOMOSEXUALS and ALL that support them and condone them, do ... and extremely do ... "rage,and ... imagine a vain thing". Our Heavenly Father most certain DOES laugh at those HOMOSEXUALS and ALL that support and condone them.
And our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus, most certain has put "them in derision".
Has He not spoken unto them in His wrath, and vexed them in His sore displeasure, already?
Yes, we SHALL break them with a rod of iron;
and we most certainly WILL dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

Thank you for proving my point!
