Hi,

I have agreed with GigaNews that the Hodgin parody posts will cease however I did remind GigaNews that Hodgin would himself also be in violation of their terms if he was a custom of theirs.

FWIW, Leigh, I thought some of your posts were creative, clever,
and funny.

I know you can't see Jesus as anything desirable, but if you ever
do someday, you'll look back on these posts of yours and see them
in their true light. It will give you some education and knowledge
about what the Lord went through to save you, what I went through
being a servant of His, and in how many ways you harmed very many
people by your deeds.

If you're like me, when you reflect on your actions, they will
bring you to tears as you remember Jesus on that cross dying for
your sin. Watching the movie The Passion of the Christ really
brings it out of you as you see Him bloodied and battered there
upon the cross.

I care about you, Leigh. It's the only reason I reach out to you
about Jesus, and why I teach about Him (because of who He is and
what He can do for each of us individually, and personally).

He's not a joke or lie. He is our creator, and He's made a way
Home for us even in the midst of our rebellion and sin.

His posts are often indistinguishable from parody. For example
that one ... I was really expecting "wasn't me" reply but it was
apparently genuine:

! CAlive is to be a holy and sanctified offering unto God.
! It's not arbitrarily written like other software. That would
! be easy, cheap, common.
!
! What CAlive seeks to do is have prayer during development,
! to ask God for help, to do our best in design, not taking
! shortcuts, but fully visiting every need.
!
! CAlive is also a database only. RDC is the true workhorse.
! The data in CAlive's database guides RDC in how to proceed
! through source code.
!
! Holy, God-seeking, The Father honoring, living to serve Jesus
! because their heart's on fire developers will work on CAlive.
! When it is ready, prayed over, has a solemn time of
! reflection and fasting, then it will be released.

So Rick is indeed holy and blessed in his mind and whatever he does
is also holy and blessed and saying that he is clearly crazy is blasphemy.

People are not holy in and of themselves. They are made holy by
the Lord, and they are called to pursue holiness.

The term holy comes from a root word "qodesh" which means in
English: "set apart." It refers generally to a state of being
"apart, set-apart, separate, or sacred."

We are instructed in scripture to pursue holiness:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+12%3A14&version=KJV

14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which
no man shall see the Lord:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Peter+1%3A15-16&version=KJV

15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy
in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

The confusion and misunderstanding you have over my actions, Öö
Tiib, come from a lack of understanding over what God calls us to
in this world.

You look everywhere and see hypocritical Christians, people living
just like everyone else, doing things just like everyone else, not
being holy, but rather being common and like everyone else.

The Bible calls Christians a "peculiar people," with the root word
for peculiar there being another from of that same set apart form,
and not with negative connotations as it might seem to some.

We are called to serve the Lord in this world that does not serve
or honor the Lord. We are called to bring all of our labors and
works before Him so that we are walking in this world individually
as we should, as well as in the things we pursue.

When my family and I watch TV, we do something called "whiteboxing"
the material. This involves getting the content on DVD, transfer-
ring to a computer with DVD-to-MP4 style of converter, and then we
go in and edit the content down to remove anything that's inappro-
priate, including language, clothing, dialogue, topics, etc. It
causes us to have very few movies that we watch, very few shows we
partake of, etc. That's one reason I was so excited about ReBoot:
The Guardian Code. It's one of the best Sci-Fi shows I've ever
seen in general, but it's targeted at younger audiences and is,
therefore, largely clean. Very few scenes to whitebox there.

In any event, I seek to serve the Lord with the fulness and rich-
ness of my life. I make mistakes in so doing, but it is my ongoing
desire, and I am getting my ducks in a row the further along I go
in this life, though as I keep mastering more and more things the
enemy steps up with another level of attacks and knocks me down.

It's a very difficult life in this world to serve God. There is
an active enemy at work against you, both individually as his own
anti-Christ spirit self, but then he also induces those who are
in sin all around you at every point to be against you.

It is only God Himself who keeps that attack at bay, and God does
allow the attacks to come to strengthen us, and to lift us up for
a future purpose.

I seek to serve and honor Jesus Christ with the things in my life
because He has saved me at the cross. I was a sinner, lost in sin,
unrepentant, headed to Hell without even knowing ... but one day
He opened my eyes to the truth and revealed to me who I was, who
He is, and what it was I needed: forgiveness of sin.

I received that forgiveness, and my heart as been set on Him ever
since. I've tried time and time again to foil my own plans of
serving Him, but He keeps coming back for me, to rescue me from
myself, from the enemy's traps around me, from every obstacle I
have faced to date.

God is a good good Father, and His Son is full of compassion,
empathy, and love, enough to cover the sin of some wretch like
me.

I seek to honor Him directly by name with my products because
He stood up for me at the cross, and before His Father. I owe
Him everything, and I will continue to serve Him as I go through
this world.

Not likely mate.

It is simple mate: you are a homophobic misogynist bigot who hides behind a book. You are an egregious cunt. Your spam is not welcome here and neither are you.

I am not homophobic. I am not a misogynist. I am not a bigot.
I am very tolerant of people who hold opposing views to those I
hold. The difference is, I am unyielding in my position on the
things of the Bible because I have come to understand what it
truly means, and not just words on a page, but intent and pur-
pose behind God's plan.

And I do not hide behind a book. I teach the things written in
the Bible, which self-explain why they are written that way.
Charles Spurgeon wrote that the Bible is like a lion. You do
not need to defend a lion. You just turn it loose ... it will
defend itself.

You are hiding behind your own fears of learning the truth,
Leigh, because you know deep down that if you were to ever in-
vestigate the Bible you'd learn the truth, you'd learn that
you are wrong in your beliefs and thinking today, and you'd
learn what it means to be called onto the carpet by God.

I teach you these things because they're true, Leigh. If they
weren't, I wouldn't waste my time.

Hate speech, Leigh?

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hate%20speech

: speech expressing hatred of a particular group of people.
: speech that is intended to insult, offend, or intimidate
a person because of some trait (as race, religion, sexual
orientation, national origin, or disability)

Where, in anything I've said, is that criteria met?

My goals in teaching everyone about Christ is education, to
learn the state of their soul before God, and their need to
ask forgiveness from God for their sin.

That is not hate speech. It is life and love speech, even
eternal life and eternal love speech.

Have you ever heard the following fairly famous quote:

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do
nothing.

That's the general counter-argument to the idea of "Just ignore it" (when
dealing with trolls).

The gospel message triumphs over the enemy by going forth, because
even when it's rejected by men, yet has it gone forth, and it then
serves as solid documentation on Judgment Day of a rejection of the
free offer of salvation by Jesus Christ, such that they are without
excuse, and will even self-condemn their own soul to Hell when
standing before God seeing what it was they did to Him.

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+10%3A30-31&version=KJV

30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth
unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again,
==> The Lord shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the
living God.

-----
You do not see what Jesus is offering you, Kenny. You do not see
that I am pointing you to the only life preserver you'll ever re-
ceive to save your eternal soul. Instead, you mock and hate and
espouse all manner of the same in your slippery posts full of a
true hatred of God and all His teachings.

You are a dreadful man, Kenny, for all your ways are the ways of
death (today).

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=proverbs+14%3A12%2C+16%3A25&version=KJV

12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the
end thereof are the ways of death.
25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the
end thereof are the ways of death.

Said it twice. In the Bible, that's the equivalent of bold type.
