Default Re: Why should you decide for others?

eh. chorinker, I actually very much inturperate that scripture differently, I dont think its my daily job to judge my brothern. God is to judge them (and yes, in heaven the saints may as well, however as I said, we are not perfect yet.) and we are to show acceptance, compassion, love, and mercy. People are help responisible for there actions, sure, but it is my job to "turn the other cheek" and to forgive.

Pwill, I guess you never did say that.

Government is an establishment created by man, and is subject to man's imperfection. in fact, I don't believe God mean for us to be "governed" by other men, but alas, we choose to, and so we must follow the rules of we layed down.
