I believe we all have not just the right, but the duty, to compare ourselves with what the Lord hoped when He created us. But the answer also has to be God’s answer, rather than man’s answer. All we can do on our own is band into worldly groups, ostracize, and blame. We can’t conceive of a positive-sum game.
The people who are in the position to know better often draw the most intense gaze of God. Ted Kennedy might never have known any better. He might have thought that political esteem was the only esteem worth having, and that’s what would cause his trysts to be forgiven. Roy Moore does know better, and so he gets the third degree. OK, you think the Ten Commandments are so peachy? Get ready to be scored against them.
I’ve read a lot of your posts but this last one is really borderline stupidity.
