We Are No Better
Dave in Tenn:
Hey. I know both of you were talking about me. ;D
Concerning the original post, is it too babylonian to say, "Love the sinner, hate the sin?"
I just noticed that the first word in 'babylon' is 'baby'. Hmmmm

Good pickup Dave....but rather than looking at them we should examine ourselves and hope that we
(1Co 1:26) For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
(1Co 1:27) But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
1Co 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:

God has been working with me on just this subject.....I think that I was so angry with myself for being so deceived for so many years and then the anger spilt over to my old church and how the pastor was leading people astray. I was disgusted.
His gentle voice have been whispering in my ear as of late....."the shadow is not evil".
Thanks for this post. I have repented of my attitude and asked God to help me to love my enemy's.

I often remind myself of something Ray taught me. I have come this far (out of Babylon, universal salvation, and the many truths I have learned here) because God put it in my heart to believe the truth. I am no longer amazed, angry, or feeling superior when someone rejects these truths. They don't believe because God has not put it into their hearts to believe. Why me and not them? That is God's business. 'what I know for sure is I did nothing of myself to deserve it.
Understanding this has gone a long way to temper my reactions. Thanks to the others who have posted on this topic. Some really thoughtful responses.

Whenever differences and conflicts arise between any of us we should always remember that we are no better than anyone, that is all I meant. I am sorry you took my bumping the thread as an insult to someone, I had no idea that it would appear to be aimed at anybody in particular ???. It was done in love ;).

Oh no I didn't think you had a particular person in mind!
I only posted that long winded explanation so you didn't think that I had a particular person in mind.
LOL!
