It says in Romans 26 to 27, that Men with Men is unnatural and opposes true nature.
In a nutshell, when we win, God let's us deal with the consequences of our actions as long as we continue to stray from him.
When we sin, we can fill ourselves with wickedness, unrighteousness, greed, evil, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. We become gossipers, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedience to Parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unfeeling and unmerciful
```
Done
Yes but he still did treat his enemies with mercy. Always remember that
Could maybe the mods pin the first larger message i sent if thats okay???
The mercy understood at that time is not the mercy we associate in modern time.
It doesn't matter what we associate Mercy in the present. The Bible says that it, God and the Holy spirit never change
We must associate Mercy with what it was back then and not now

It is better understood as a form of gratitude.
I mean yeah.
BTW yall know if that Jim guy got ban hammered?
When I think of God's mercy I think of the parable of the prodigal son
Idk
We should show mercy, but how we show it is key. Even so, Jesus attitude towards people like the Pharisee was not the same as people like Nicodemus.
Jesus was patient and kind to the latter group. Jesus pulled no punches to groups of the former.
Also in Jonah
Jonah probably the best example of God's mercy
Oh I agree
If sodom and Gomorrah had repented he'd of never destroyed them, like how he showed mercy to Nineveh
I think part of the reason Jonah's situation with God's mercy is the best because of how much more simply it was explained
Mhm
So to people like those who disagree with us but show respect and a willingness to listen, yes; be kind and courteous. To people that find pleasure in violating our 1A rights with convoluted excuses; we are not to show kindness to such people. We should expose them harshly and with no pulling punches.
I actually agree, thats a great way to explain it
Proverbs 9:8
“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.
Matthew 7:6 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.7.6.NKJV
So if these tyrannical "lawyers" pull the "That's not very Christ like", you answer: "If Christ was here, He'd bitchslap you right now." Or something along those lines. Jesus never showed kindness to the Pharisees that violated their people's rights, nor would He to the lawyers that expelled that girl for showing a Christian message through her mask.
Smash Boy, what you said definitely plays apart in whats happening as of these days.
Literally that.
Mhm
Jesus showed both God's Mercy and his wrath
Thats what you mean right?
Yes but anger must be controlled
Thats what wrath is
People don't understand that wrath isn't just some synonym of anger
It has a deeper meaning
The principle of charity is not something everyone deserves. Those who show a charitable disposition we should employ it. Those who only want to find conflict for the sake of it or troll, you can hold down the principle and give them the pwnage of their life.
Wrath is controlled powerful fury but used in proper wisdom
Thats what makes wrath so scary
If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”
Genesis 4:7 NKJV
Righteous Wrath is that what you say, @Book . The sin of Wrath is the blind destructive wrath fueled by hate.
Uhm Smash Boy, that was a bit confusing could you elaborate
Yes thats what I mean
Genesis 4:7 is my favorite verse. Its what God tells cain before he went to kill able
