I think we made it through about six posts or so...although I'm feeling more moved to get back into it as I am working through some other texts.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13987985549747283669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1781177764307985822.post-25670822073844155442011-03-09T22:33:10.887-06:002011-03-09T22:33:10.887-06:00That is a most excellent point, Robert.

Many of them will jump right in with everybody else in saying that we are too close-minded, hateful, and judgmental. While in actuality, they are showing hate for others and love for themselves/their own sin by condoning and even promoting sins of those around them, thereby ushering more and more people down the wide road that leads to hell. <br /><br />That is always where the difference comes in for me...when confronted with (and thus convicted of) sin in his/her life a Christian repents and tries to put that sin to death by the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit. When a nominal Christian is confronted with sin in his/her life, he/she justifies why he/she did it, says that Jesus loves him/her for who he/she is (not in spite of how sinful he/she is). I always fight between being angry and sad about this.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13987985549747283669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1781177764307985822.post-21070090688311888272011-03-07T09:17:34.386-06:002011-03-07T09:17:34.386-06:00Fresh Trogdor!
