Punishment is not the issue. Responsibility is the issue.
there can be no resolution until responsibility is accepted and to require the innocent to ignore responsibility is absurd and useless. It just empowers the guilty to continue in their ways.
Find me a judge who passes sentence without assigning blame/responsibility.
The time for punishment comes when the guilty continue to deny responsibility and continue in there lawless ways.
You are really sounding âHolier than thouâ.
And assigning responsibility/blame doesnât automatically mean the one does not serve even though not guilty⊠Jesus SERVED the guilty and won them over-- but he let them know of their guilt. The only ones Jesus could not help were the self-righteous ones who would not admit their guilt/responsibility.
You are making sense to me until you are assuming someone is guilty before they are proven guilty. Are we the judge and jury? That is what assigning responsibly and guilt means to me. What does it mean to you?
I am not try to be holy I am trying to be ethical.
Semantics
And the whole time I was thinking intelligent conversation .
Its not a court of law⊠one only has to watch the footage of the left all over the nation causing hate and destruction.
Iâll wait while you show footage of the right rioting, destroying, encouraging murder.
Well, donât blame me.
Ok we will be holy. Jesus says to love your enemy. Is it a sign of brotherly love to blame your enemy for something he does wrong or to try to guide him to make a better choice?
I am not trying to blame anyone just trying to find a better way. I want to know what people have to say and I respect everyoneâs opinions.
We are all sinners I know that you know that. How about we show footage of people committing acts of love. Wouldnât that be something we would all want to watch. The right and the left. Wouldnât that be more enjoyable then pushing each other away. One doesnât have to be holier than thou to want that. Isnât that what Jesus wants for us when He says love your enemy?
âWe the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.â
Oh! Brother⊠Lets just forgive the left and ignore their actions in hopes the world will be a better place, after all, thatâs what British Prime Minister Chamberlain did to appease the Hitler, and we see how well that workedâŠ
You need to learn Scripture before you try using it.
Encourages is not the word that comes to my mind when I observe the debate between left and right.
The left is prone to hyperbole and violent rhetoric.
Change my mind! 
The speaker in the clip describes a litany of examples of violent admonitions from left wing politicians.
You are correct. But âsomebodyâ will try to change your mind. Unfortunately, that violent rhetoric you speak of is expressed in violent actions.
To be sure! Additionally the left accuses the right of using the tactics they so boldly employ to sow fear in their base.
Forgive yes. We have to forgive others sins if we want our sins forgiven. That only makes sense. Ignore no we should stay situationally aware. Sorry about the scripture I am just saying what is on my mind. I donât think what I am saying is that far fetched. It just seems like there is so much hate in the world there needs to be more love.
I beg to differ. The rhetoric and vitriol comes primarily from the left.
Somewhere in this thread forgiveness is advised. In my book, you forgive someone who admits guilt and asks for forgiveness.
I refuse to forgive someone while they are still beating me!
