Danny Laracuente so you being exposed for spreading false information now deflect. I corrected your error, and who is expressing Hate now?

We are toldnto love the things God loves, and hate the things he hates. Psalm 97:10; 1 Cor 6: 9, 10; Proverbs 6: 16-19.

Forgiveness is conditional. In fact, at Matthew 6: 9, 10, what some call the "Lord's Prayer right after telling His disciples NOT to say the same prayer over and over....showed that forgiveness of sins, ours, is tied to our willingness to forgive others. Also, repentance is required to receive forgiveness, the turning around of sinful practice.

So seems both your liberal ideology and scriptural lack us understanding is getting in the way of you learning something today. Again I ask....are you in California?


Danny Laracuente false info Danny. I've lived in Florida since 1974, Central Florida at that. It's actually pro free speech in Florida, much more so than Big Blue states. Florida doesn't allow taxpayer funded education to push non historical "Queer Theory" in a course that's SUPPOSED to be about "African American History", but has no problem with the History course after the activist professor that put that in for attention and to create controversy took it back out..."queer theory".....

And Disney promotes "gay pride" events, even flying their flags....but when a Christain group wanted to do similar, well, we learned how far left Disney went.

Florida is low taxes, pro business, right to work.....all things the left hates. BTW.....the state has never stopped private schools not taking tax money from teaching their Revisionist history.


Danny Laracuente so you are refusing to talk about the Gospels when I've offered. Paul commented on such at 1 Cor 9: 16.

Jesus ministry was marked with exposing the evildoers, even those simply "lukewarm" in their faith. I.mentioned 1 Cor 6: 8, 10 but it seems to annoy you. Yet, this is in God's word and for our instruction. It's very clear who is, and is NOT acceptable to God. Not all are. Now, as you continue with vs 11, they can change, and become accepted, but, they must change. Does your congregation teach what God's word says....or only cherrypicks that those that want their "eats tickeled" with 2 Ti 4: 3, 4.


Danny Laracuente if you really want to get into a discussion of what Jesus taught as God's Son whilenon earth, awesome, but you must be willing to accept God's word as the authority. So far, you've proven reluctant to do that.

It's interesting that.yiu claim I "distort" scripture....but I simply made several scriptural citations, which you would have had to look up and read yourself, so as to draw your own conclusions. Seems you either didn't read them....or, did, and don't like what you learned. Let's not forget what 1 Ti 3: 16, 17 says about how we use God's Word.


"The alternate domination of one faction over the other, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual, and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation on the ruins of public liberty."

~President George Washington (Farewell Address); September 19, 1796


Yep, the left has been on a multi-faceted push to censor free speech at every turn. Well, free speech that they don't agree with.

From "safe zones" at universities where only certain approved social groups are allowed to express their opinions, to political expression on social media, actively censored along party lines overwhelmingly favoring one side. Some extreme left politicians, members of Congress have even proposed making it illegal ro use free speech if its something they don't like! This isn't just a dream of theirs, it's already happening. During the 2020 presidential election, one political party actively colluded with social media, presidential campaign and even government officials to prevent, censor, their political rivals from expressing, reporting, news harmful to their own candidate. This was not only Censorship, but election interference. During COVID, thos censorship took on draconian levels of censorship. People were fired for expressing their position, speaking their mind. People were censored on the news, social media and in their own business if they dared to say something that was not "Fauci approved".

As the 2024 election cycle ramps up, expect the left to ramp up its attempt to censor, silence any that oppose them, don't agree with them. This tactic is eerily like what the Nazis did during WW2 in Germany. And sadly, those caught up in thos don't see the similarities.
