Then I saw how quickly people abandon it and what follows after, what we're living in now. Christ's message is exceptional and anyone who thinks otherwise is pampered by a long Christian history to the point of being spoiled.
Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
"Forguve us our tresspasses..."
The 23 psalm is great but unfortunately Christians interpret "forgiveness" as letting people walk all over you.
Preaching that forgiveness means you must allow people to abuse and destroy is of the devil. Never doubt that evil has infiltrated the church and its goal is to make Christians weak and ineffective.
I'm not Christ, I won't ask people to forgive. At this point all I want is for people to feel guilty when they don't forgive, instead of reveling in it and looking for ways to be better at it.
That goes for you, too. I won't judge you for what you do (Again, not Christ) but I pray and have faith you at least wish there were a peaceful way. I ask you to keep an eye open for it, because it could come, like Christ, at any moment.
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions and surely there are many people with good intentions arrayed against us. I don't know what to do about it, I just feel better for posting.
