Heather: Here is the Scripture you reference: Mt 9:9 ¶ And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him. 10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? 12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. 13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Some points to consider: Matthew was saved as evidenced by his "following" of Jesus in v. 9. It is sad for a Jesus-denying sodomite pederast to claim salvation and claim that he doesn't have to follow Jesus like Matthew did. Jesus did minister to sinners, wicked people, lost people, and lost religious people. And He told them to "Go and sin no more". Repentance means turning from sin to God. It is impossible for a nonrepentant, masturbating, practicing pederast to be a Christian. |
