Well, McCoy needs to give her Bible more study. Paul gave Peter his comeuppance about continuing to obey Jewish dietary and other Old Testament regulations, saying, in effect, that anyone who relied upon their own righteousness to enter heaven rendered Jesus and his grace worthless. Whether by being gay, eating pork, shellfish or judging and condemning our neighbors in a public forum such as the Herald, we have all sinned and fallen short of God’s glory.

In McCoy’s rush to judge and condemn members of the LGBT community, she has failed to love her neighbor. She is no Christian because she does not love, and her vile words undo the good so many Christians in our community attempt to do! She should congregate with her fellow vipers and self-righteous Pharisees, and leave Christ and his love for us, we sinners, drunks, thieves and LGBTs – we who rely on God’s son and his righteousness for our salvation.
