Test yourself. Just how many of your colleagues, neighbours, family etc are blatent sinners.
How do you interact with them?
Do you know what ' Love the sinnerbut hate the sin ' means?
It is not about adopting a homosexul life style or inviting all the junkies over to do drugs etc etc
I is about treating them with respect as people made in the image of God.
It is about talking to them, offering help to live, help to get off drugs, to change.
Respect the idiot ? is that the game play !
Look I know a best mate who from grade 6 or so was not the sharpest tool in the shed, but as he got older he got more stupid, from the age of 19 he started on smoking dope ! back in the day I did not know he was an compulsive obsessive ? no such thing was understood back in them days, but such a person should never drink or smoke taking drugs period ! but you know what, things such as safety nets should not be in a sense because such people think oh well I will be right ! their is a safety net, so they have little regard for self or others as all will be fine ?
But if it was Law to say if we catch anyone using drugs the Law will shoot you directly ? zero tolerance ! I think a lot of people would not take the chance.
If one brake into others home or steals car etc, get caught, you get shot ! zero tolerance !
Now who does drugs or steals ? they have no respect for themselves or others in fact, not to mention zero tolerance for the Law.
They have no respect !
Now even I may think such is a bit harsh ! but what about duty to society ? do we disregard abuse ?
Someone who is selling drugs that cause such misery ? they the problems and cause and do kill ? is serious !
So that mate of mine was a dupe running and selling drugs when he lived down in Sydney with the Hells Angles. he came back a mess nearly dead and I said what he was ! and he did not like that at all, he wanted to fight me but he knew he would loose, and screamed at me that he was helping them ? but after some years he knows that he was so wrong ! but people on such drugs do not know what they are truly doing. one has to understand people like that, were they truly are at ? my wife seen a co worker get shot in the face with a shotgun at work, her co worker looked at the druged up man the wrong way, so he shot him.
So who is in the wrong ? Society !
