I personally have committed acts of sin that have caused pain and suffering to others in my lifetime. I am pretty comfortable assuming every single one of us has to one degree or another. So for me, I would rather they turn away from their sin, ask the Lord Jesus Christ for forgiveness and salvation, devote the remainder of their lives to God's kingdom. How much more could we do for God's Kingdom if those people started fighting against the atrocities that they were once responsible for?
Sorry fren, but think you might be comparing apples to oranges?
I've hurt ppl, broke a few hearts, had mine broke, stole candy, etc... but never forced anyone into debt slavery, harvested organs, or sacrificed in the name of a bull w tits.
I prefer to observe and see who others are by what they do. They judge themselves and I personally try to be quiet in real life even though I do talk a lot.
Yet this is a very dangerous thing and honestly I wonder if Jesus thinks about what happened to normal sin. See people used to honor others and have respect. Now we see a void of even self honor on greet levels.
Yet how can a Christian allow a devil to destroy children and claim we should take the higher road? If is a phase they are going thru. They will grow out of it. Yes we need solid foundation on this front and it seems to be getting more solid each week lately. These same devil wants us to also be complacent and not be our brothers keeper.
It is a very sick thing we are up against. This is what real nightmares are made from. Yet it has to so. Shall we continue to allow children to be cherry picked as they calmly and loudly claim God loves them?
He personally stood by as Stephen was stoned to death. He may have killed Christians himself, as he later said he was chief among sinners. He was the most feared Pharisee after Jesus went to heaven.
"He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" "Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied. "Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
I completely understand why you feel that way.

All sins are equal to God in that any and every sin will keep one out of heaven.
All men are sinners, but all sins are not equal. Churches that teach this usually justify clergy indiscretions and condemn sheep for their intentions.
How do you know what you are saying is true?
This!
James 4:17 Matthew 7:1 — 29
Grace, Love, Wisdom, sacrifice

The St. Paul model is quite rewarding and productive for all involved.

I'm not familiar.
