Where are you getting this idea of what God wants? Of course He does not want to punish, but He has and He will. Even in the last chapter of Revelation, He punishes as well as loves, or maybe even because He loves.

I mean He literally let a heathern nation come and take His rebellious people out of the land He swore to give them, killing many. When David sinned with Bathsheba, He forgave, but there were also consequences that involved death. "The sword shall never depart from your house" because of David's sin with Bathsheba, the prophet told him.

You are basically mouthing the arguments of Clinton's supporters, that we should forgive someone regardless of repentence and no matter how hard they rub our face in it. We should just 'move on' when those who turn aside are powerful and can help us get our way. I thought it was disgusting when Slick's supporters mouthed their phoney version of mercy and I do not think any more of it now.

I don't think we imposed, as you put it, "an impossible and unreasonable standard" on Tim Hutchinson. Is it impossible and unreasonable to expect a politician to keep the vows he made to his wife? If so, how much are the vows he has made to us worth?

Fool? So now I am a fool as well as an idiot eh? Perhaps you are right about the nature of God, maybe He just forgives even when their is no repentence, even where there is continued willful defiance of the way He tells us to live. When you compare the poison coming out of your keyboard to Matthew 5:22, you had better hope that you are right.

and YOU can see whether a person has repentance in their hearts or not? KEWL!

how does it feel to be holier than God? Must be so special.

GET out of the party. WE do NOT need your kind.
Faithful supporters do not let babies die, just so they can wreak their version of "vengeance is mine, saith the holy rollers" on fellow sinners.

Every time you fail to vote for the more conservative candidate, another dozen or two babies are partial birth aborted...

We get the government we deserve.
Bon apetite!
