FORGIVEN OR NOT Self righteous hypocrites are those who think that they could never do what someone else does or never become what others are. The most self righteous group I know of is the high minded ones who condemn those who have molested children thinking they could never do such an act, when in truth we all have done the very things we say we would not do; in Adam. All mankind is in sin, no matter what sin it is, your guilty. Unrepented mankind are the ones who condemn others not knowing that they will also end up in hell with those they comdemn. All mankind is from Adam so all mankind is in sin. Sin is sin. Without Christ no one shall see heaven even those who cast stones of self righteousness at the sin that all are in without Jesus. In Christ there is hope for all, including the so called big sins. Jesus is forgiveness for all who repent and all who are in Christ forgive those who are not, not on the basis of guilt or innocence but on the basis of we have been forgiven of our sins, no matter what they may be. The mentality that we should place markers in the yard of those who have sexual convictions should work both ways. We should also place markers in the yards of the self righteous saying these are the ones that say there is no hope for the sinners. While they themselves are in the same fallen state, apart from the forgiveness of Christ who will forgive all sins; both sides, not just the ones we think should be forgiven. be careful how you judge for with the same judgement you shall also be judged with. Righteous judgement mingled with mercy and forgiveness crushes the spirit of self righteousness. Love will never approve of sin, love will forgive sin; rejoices in truth. No one is so far removed from sin, that sin is far removed, that one is out of reach of what self righteous hypocrites condemn. If it is o.k. to mark one for wrong done, then it is o.k. to mark the self righteous for unforgiveness toward the condemned. I know no unrepented heart that is forgiven, nor do i know a repented heart that is not forgiven, that will not forgive. So where does this place the hypocrites ? I'll tell you, in hell! Anyone who will not forgive, will not be forgiven. You shall be marked with the ones Jesus proclaimed was full of robbery, self indulgence, lawlessness and hypocrisy, this is what will be placed on the marker, in the yard, of those who place the marker in the yard of the ones that hope was withheld from. Because if we condemn someone without offering Jesus, we condemn ourselves. A man who refuses to repent condemns himself. Read Luke 18:10-14 If anyone thinks I am saying that crime should go unpunished, your wrong. If anyone thinks that the price that Jesus paid was not punishment for all crime, you'll still wrong. " God demonstrated His love toward us, In that while we (all mankind)
were yet sinners, Christ died for the ungodly. " He (God) made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." Don't judge as tho you were the judge, judge to restore and gain a brother; win the lost. What are we willing to give that we might gain a brother, and lose that we might win, the lost ??? ...put away from you all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor along with all malice... and multiply this seven times seventy. If you think that having a clean earthly record is going give you a clean heavenly record, then all you have is earthly and demonic. No one will be excused for self righteousness as well as all other sins. Bond servant of Christ Don E. Anz
