Treating people with dignity and respect does not mean we must agree with their belief system or lifestyle.
I wasn't sure if I was on your mind when you asked your question... so I wanted to make sure!
I didn't think I was, since Mrs. LPW is perfect.
We all know that.

No, an example of a lack of human dignity would be to call them a bunch of lewd names that we Pentecostals seem to think are perfectly okay to say because we are sometimes very self-righteous.

Ah yes... a peeve of mine.

[A Public Domain Bible] [KJV at Zondervan] [Zondervan]
21Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
I think this explains it all...
Whether the offense is doctrinal, emotional, mental or criminal...Many times folks that can't forgive will never heal... I'm not saying forgiveness is easy it is often times the hardest ordeal one may face....but to grow and continue face it they must....
Vengeance is the Lords.... Whether or not we think it is left up to us..

Not sure what your point is. Do you mean there should be no enforcement of criminal laws?

No...The Government in Place enforces the Law and the criminal faces his judgment....that being said the victim is still left with the stain of the offense... to overcome it they must be able to forgive to carry on... whatever the crime may be...

Gotcha. Maybe that's why under OT law there was much more restitution rather than a debt to society idea.
