That is his view and he has a right to it. I do defend him on that point as we that all know him, know him to be a good and honest person. His fault here may be that he is too conservative to suit or he has that UPC persona overshadowing his remarks. (lol)
Aside from his point of view, I am sure you are familiar with the parable of the unmerciful or unforgiving servant? The story is found in Matthew 18:21-35.
I think a discussion has been on board here in regards to degrees of sin. I feel as though all and any sin is the same in God's eyes.
So, my point would be, in relation to the unmerciful/unforgiving servant - if any of us, including you and me, have ever sinned and been forgiven, how could we possibly and honestly go after, criticizing, another person's failure so openly and without abandon? It just seems hypocritical to me. |
Thanks PO for your kind remarks, can I put your quote on a t-shirt?
"know him to be a good & honest person"-PO
Even though it sounds like a letter of reference for a job!
Too Conservative?? My Conservative friends think I am a tad liberal, my liberal friends think I am a tad Conservative???
