| | so Paul, who hated and killed people following the Ways of Jesus as Holy Spirit goodness to life,
was rocked by Grace and Love.
and then,
he became one who followed the Way of Jesus Holy Spirit Life.
I have always read Romans with condemnation in my heart
toward people who do the things it says not to do.
"And likewise also the
men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one
toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and
receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And
even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave
them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not
convenient; Being
filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness,
maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity;
whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful..."
It does go on to explain that we who judge are guilty of the same.
Get ready. this is Good.
It means that it doesn't matter.
Oh
No.
You who does these things that Are indeed against what God loves.
Which is everyone.
We are all the ones who are wrong.
Church men in their ties. Rebecca. Beggars without water. The verses are part of the letter, and they aren't supposed to be out of context. The beginning of the book is a drum roll of the degradation that you and I are in... and the trumpet blast is the Love of Jesus toward us regardless.
We are each wrong in our own way, in the human way. But God was never ashamed of our nakedness.
I cannot compare
because
there is no
comparison
for
how
Jesus
Loves.
People hate and kill, but no longer become these people.
