He is prety stupid. Of course when we see ourselves next to an almighty perfect God. Prety much everyone is stupid 
You brought back an old memory, from 1990 - 1999, we leaved in Crescent City, CA. We used to drive to Eureka, CA. to shop. On the way down HWY 101, there was a small village of Trinidad. And we would stop frequently to look at the view from their Lighthouse. You can see the similarity in those two Lighthouses:
Jesus came that we might know God loves and forgive us, and is willing to talk
and commune with us. We just need to repent and believe in His forgiveness and
walk in His ways. Our sin and failure is what leads us to death and judgement,
which Jesus through the cross has resolved if we are prepared to take it on.
Jesus gave His life as a sacrifice to pay the price of sin and draw us into holiness
purity and eternity with a life of righteousness.
We need to become part of the vine, to dwell in Him and He is us.
As Paul said to Timothy
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you
to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
which God will bring about in his own time
1 Timothy 6:12-15
Amen

Well I am glad to here this.
Then you will know what indoctrination and dehumanizing individual does to people to
enable them to behave in this way and still believe they are doing good things.
Once you stop loving people for who they are, no matter how flawed or difficult
they appear, this is where things end up.
It is why lawlessness and losing moral reference points leads to death. No matter
where and when this happens the results have been the same, Nazi's, Mao, Stalin,
Pol Pot, Rwanda, Jim Jones.
This is where I fail to see how by sharing verses of holiness, purity, love, victory,
overcoming, walking in the light, seeing love overcoming in the midst of evil and great
suffering like Corrie Ten Boom, condemnation and evil is connected with this.
What struck me was Pauls mention of this phrase,
"in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth"
2 Timothy 2:25
Illumination and restoration is in Gods hands, not mine, I can but share His word and revelation.
Dear Lord, show us your will and way, that we might know and follow,
Grant us repentance and humbleness to see our sin and seek forgiveness and restoration,
in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Amen

when you refuse to acknowledge that you mis-represent what some one said, as you have been clearly shown multiple times in the last couple of days, and then constantly talk about purity and holiness , that has 0 creditability.
how about apologizing to the folks who have shown you what you did, then have a prayer. as Jesus said, leave your gift ( in this prayer ), at the alter, and go and be reconciled with your brother . that applies here.

Hi Stunnedbygrace, praise God the veil has been taken away which means you can see clearly our Wonderful Savior. Everyone here became tired (not at you of course), as in fatigued trying to explain day after day that Jesus payed it all, all to Him we owe. What stands in their way to accept Jesus full payment for sin, is it pride or blinded by self confidence.
God bless you and keep stayed on that Gospel Way......
