You're so blind with rage that you're unable to see what's being discussed here.
We are saying the same thing. Point me to one statement where I said anything that contradicts what you just posted about forgiving people.
It's all good. I was a bit snippy myself.
I can't say I fully understand the feeling, because I have a pretty good temperament when it comes to these evil people who want to impose all manner of terrible things onto us. I'm honestly pretty good at just brushing it off/ignoring it and moving on unaffected. But I absolutely see where someone would be very unhappy/angry with someone wanting to take away their job, life, family, and freedom because they didn't inject themselves with literal poison.
The same goes for the people who don't advocate that, but refuse to denounce it or speak out against those who do. Going along with it is bad, they're basically enabling it, and I absolutely agree those people need to be chastised, and need to apologize in a genuine manner, or be rejected.
I certainly don't see any godliness in forgiving those who refuse to acknowledge what they did wrong and/or to rebuke evil. I want to, but won't if they won't make that first step of reconciliation. To harken back to what I said earlier, neither will God :)
Matthew 5:38-48
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Also, I'm as close to being a fundamentalist as you can get without being one, if not I simply am one. And when I see pussies pacifying the Word, I give them their due share of fire and brimstone. If someone wants to only present one side of the scripture, I'm going to let them know about it.
Also, also, everything I've said has come from minimal teaching of men. Majority of it is my own interpretation of scripture as all I've done is read the Bible.
