Permission

[Rick C. Hodgin]

I want to hear a lot more apologising from the faith-based communities for
the evil they have done before they even start clearing their throats and
telling me that I wouldn't know right from wrong without their permission.
I'm sorry, I won't be spoken to in that tone of voice.

Thank you,

I, the real Rick C. Hodgin, did not write the post I'm quoting.
It is written by a coward named Leigh Johnston who likes to parody
my posts with his anti-Christ rhetoric. He teaches people false
things and piles upon his own head punishment that he cannot even
imagine. It breaks my heart to see.

Examine the headers and see the difference. I only post from Google
News, or Eternal September, and from Indianapolis, IN.

To address his false teaching:

Sin operates in a multitude of ways in this world. For some,
it is in the life lived apart from God, the one that seems to
be good, beneficial, moral, ethical, but without any forgive-
ness of sin by Jesus Christ. Because of the no forgiveness
of sin, those people who lived "moral" lives are in for a big
shock when they face judgment.

Other sin operates against people by causing people to do bad
things in the name of Jesus. But Jesus doesn't call us to be
bad or do bad things. It is only sin operating in those people
that causes them to behave that way.

Jesus calls us to truth, righteousness, holiness, purity, to
teach others the true message of forgiveness of sin through
Him, and the new spirit life that comes from that exchange.
But even so, our lives still require focus, discipline, and a
true purpose in the things we do because we still face a real
enemy who seeks to still destroy us, to make us weak, to dam-
age our witness, to make it easier for people to take only a
casual 500 foot glance in the direction of "Christianity,"
and see the false things done in Christ's name, and conclude
that Jesus is that evil they see there from 500 feet away.

Such people are already condemned because they won't step
closer. They won't investigate the truth for themselves.
They are lost in their own love of sin, and their own wil-
lingness to believe falseness and lies as though they were
truth.
