LostAngry,
You said;
Does it mean they have no redeeming qualities, absolutely not!
Redemption.... Now that's very different than making a judgement.
I'd simply ask, how can there be a need for redemption if there are no judgments of right and wrong?
I'm not sure I'd want to live in a world with no standards and no judgments.
A question regarding character;
When making bread, we add just a "pinch" of yeast and the bread rises, right?
I much the same way, with just a pinch of ____________ in our lives, will it effect our character? And, for how long???
Can we un-yeast a loaf of bread?
I wish I could un-adultery my marriage, but I can't.
As a FWS I am so thankful for redemption! But I'm also thankful for the judgments, levied from others, that led me to seek the forgiveness necessary to restore right relationships with others again.
