my honest hypocrisy

Many of you will be confused by this post...for this I apologize.

Have we not *ALL* sinned and fallen short? Are we not all loved and offered redemption? Is not all sin equal in our creators eyes? Are we not all ambassadors for Christ as Christians?

Then what are we doing???

Let me go first. I loathe my ex-husband for the lies and abandonment. I loathe his current wife for the pain and suffering she caused. Is this a sin in Gods eyes, Yes.

Did they commit the act of adultery, Yes.
Is this offense any more severe than my hatred or bitterness, No.

Therefore we are all guilty. I admit it. My sin is equal to theirs. Do their actions justify my feelings or my feelings justify their actions...No.

Are we all forgiven and loved, Yes. Does life go on, Yes.

How does this apply...well if you have sinned, whether by thinking impure thoughts or stealing a piece of gum, then you are as guilty as those you accuse.

I'm not at all saying sins should go unpunished. There are laws and they should be obeyed. But unless you are the actual victim or the police...then stay the freak bob out of it, Its none of your business!! Karma is quite effective, or so I hear ;-p

I'm saying this because of current events in Stephenville. I will not elaborate because its not my story to tell. I'm only saying that as "Christians" it is not our place to try and condemn. It is only our place to show love and mercy as it has been shown to us.

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.


And last but not least...do not condemn an entire congregation or community based on one allegation. One person is responsible for the (supposed) acts. Not the family, not the church, not the town.

Every single person on earth has issues, every sin is equal, and every person is loved and offered forgiveness and a new start.

So, lets focus on that instead of who done it, who he done it to, and who done covered it up.
