“Whenever any individual rejects error and embraces truth, a last judgment passes upon that individual.” –William Blake in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

“We cannot let this happen here without response from us. God calls us to repentance, truth, faithful witness.”
The discussion thus began and soon majority sways: hold him to account for sin, error of his ways.
In Christ no condemnation, no ex-communication, but reconciliation, love, restoration.
Yet inside house of worship people forget commandment, prey there upon each other, condemn in judgment.
Cyclical retribution repeats ever endlessly. As you point finger, ponder error of your ways.
Too often have I sinned by denying another grace, and in such cold decision overstepped my place.
I will forgive; I will pray God angers not, brother mine, at your certain stand for truth. Peace, mercy be thine.
I love the story when someone asks Jesus how many times we should forgive a neighbor...and suggests maybe it be 7?
The questioner probably thought he was being generous. Perhaps Jesus would suggest as many as 4 or 5 times.
Jesus responds "70 Times 7."
The people I know who make the biggest display of their religion are the most unChristlike people I ever know.
