This Persecution, Misunderstanding of Judaism, and Hypocrisy Is Astounding...

And I see that, since I've unblocked this person, she blocked me in turn when I blocked her. I suppose that we blocked each other is actually good. Her name, by the way, is Rebecca "Becca" Borland; and Becca, I'm giving you the opportunity to respond to my response to your persecution of me.

 "Okay, so this has popped up on my newsfeed, and I'm definitely not going to just sit by and watch bigotry unfold before my eyes. First of all, this Marie person did NOT threaten you in any way. She said absolutely nothing about harming you, nor does she seem to have verbally harassed you. Her point was that, because you can't respect her basic human rights, she has no reason to respect yours. She wasn't saying that she was going to beat you up. Secondly, if Lauren (I'm assuming that is her preferred name) claims that she is a woman, then she is a woman. You need to respect her preferred pronouns and call her what she wishes to be called. Doing otherwise causes mental and emotional trauma and dysphoria. If you refuse to call her by the appropriate pronouns and names, then I might as well call you a "him" or "Geoffrey". Thirdly, just because you personally believe that homosexuality is wrong doesn't mean that everyone else does. Your personal beliefs shouldn't have negative effects on other people. As they say, "my right to swing my arm stops at your face." This is easily applied to the subject of same-sex marriage. You can disagree with it all you want, but in the end, it has nothing to do with you. Your happiness and their happiness are not mutually exclusive. I think it's time you stepped into the modern age, grew up, and became a bit more open-minded."

First of all, I am not a bigot for believing what Judaism (including Messianic Judaism)--regardless of Reform, Reconstructionist, and other Liberal ("Progressive", Apostate) Judaism has held. Torah unequivocally states, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind; it is abomination." and "if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

I have never advocated murdering homosexuals, as I am under the New Covenant; whereas you are under the Old, so killing homosexuals for you would not be murder--think about that! I even stated that some homosexuals were indeed born homosexual, have a thorn in the flesh (See the New Testament if you're interested re thorns in the flesh.), and have chosen to be celibate.

Secondly, Marie did threaten me when I rightly called her boyfriend "'Lauren'", since he is really not "Lauren"--but James. Unless he can fumigate or otherwise change his DNA--so that he has two sets of X Chromosomes--, he is and remains a man and Marie's boyfriend. Therefore, Marie's "like hell I'm going to respect you" if I didn't "respect" her "girlfriend" was a threat to beat the heck out of me. 

Thirdly, since you are under the Old Covenant, you should be advocating killing homosexuals for abominations. So, who needs to step into the modern age, grow up, and become a bit more open-minded? You. You have flagrantly, brazenly, and disreputably rejected Yehovah, let alone the Mashiach. I am under mercy and grace, and for bringing homosexuals among others (even people like you) the Gospel; you are for defying the very G-d who created you.

Think before you call me a demode, childish, closed-minded bigot again. I didn't create marriage; Yehovah did. Take marriage up with Yehovah, not me. By the way, I can post whatever I want on my Facebook wall. Who's the childish one for persecuting someone on her own Facebook wall--especially when she's not a friend of hers and has no business engaging her wall posts in the first place? 

So, are you going to think before you persecute me again, or are you going to look like a fool and continue to look like a fool? The ball, so to speak, is in your court now. 

By the way, If I ever start advocating killing active homosexuals, then you can have a problem with me. In fact, Tanakh says clearly that active homosexuality is an abomination that is punishable by death (cf. Leviticus 18:22-29, 20:13). But since I'm under the New Covenant, I don't advocate killing homosexuals. So, I don't get what the deal with some who are under the Old Covenant is when both covenants say that active homosexuality.

As far as homosexuality in general, it could fall under a thorn in the flesh. See, e.g., 2 Corinthians 12:7-12. Also by the way, I don't want to hear the qualms about Becca's privacy. When Becca made the comment, she did it on a public status. If she didn't want it made public, she should not have posted it on a public status, let alone the public status of a non friend who she was looking to persecute. Besides, I needed to respond. She is technically under the Old Covenant, which advocates the death penalty for homosexuality. So, she's also being a hypocrite by advocating the opposite of what the Old Covenant indicates.

She needs to take responsibility for her comment. I don't have to be stepped on, and I won't be stepped on. I originally took the enabling step of just blocking her and removing her comment. I originally failed to hold her accountable for her persecution and hypocrisy. I could have also taken pains to report her comment to Facebook if I could have reported it another way (since I couldn't report it directly). I didn't. 

The days where I do nothing about my abusers and persecutors are over, though. If you are a Non-Messianic Jew who persecutes me about my stance on same-sex marriage, for example, I'm going to tell you that you have to either actually advocate even the death of homosexuals or take up holding yourself to the New Covenant and sharing the Gospels even with homosexuals who might not otherwise be saved if they don't hear that active homosexuality is wrong from you.
