When our focus is on the sins of others, we are not standing in LOVE, nor the compassion which comprises LOVE! We are like immature Children, taunting, bullying, and worse, when in fact, our own sins prevail! Forgiveness is what *GOD* has offered us through the HOLY SACRIFICE of CHRIST JESUS, our LORD, and SAVIOUR, in which case, part of our part of the GIFT of GRACE IS to forgive, also, the sins of others, for there is NONE, NOT ONE without sin, and ALL HAVE fallen short of the GLORY OF *GOD*!!!
We CAN'T reach, or teach anyone about the PERFECT LOVE of *GOD* if we are standing outside of this LOVE! We HAVE to have REAL knowledge of HIS LOVE, that we understand HOW it works! We CAN'T speak to the fallacies of others, knowing ours! We CAN'T HELP anyone TO THE LIGHT, if we are yet blinded by the darkness of our humanness! We CAN'T prompt the sleeping spirit of others if ours is yet asleep, and so on!!!
All day, all night, we sit in criticism of everyone, and everything they are doing wrong, often, without understanding that we are doing wrong! HOW can anyone be allowed to move past what ails their spirit, if no one is willing to give them room to do so, or the LOVE it takes to complete the task? HOW can a condemned person flourish? This is WHY *GOD* says that ALL vengeance IS HIS, ALONE, and that we are NOT to judge, lest HE judge us! IF we want to be forgiven, we MUST be forgiving, tolerant, understanding, and aiding others IN the example of HIS OWN LOVE for us!!!
Sin exists for many reasons, one of which is, to TEACH us, and often, this comes about through one another! I have been, and continue to LEARN from the flaws of others, and to tame the impulses which place theirs with more significance, over mine! Some sin SEEMS worse than others, but, any conscious sin is equally shared by ALL! There are unconscious, and innocent sins, which, remain sin, but, happen by way of the deceiver, ignorance, and lack in understanding; such sin differs from conscious sin, because it creeps up, NOT by choice, instead by other means! CONSCIOUS sin plagues us ALL, especially those of CHRIST, because we KNOW what we are doing, according to THE WORD, HIS example, and the PRINCIPLES of HIS COVENANT!!!
For instance: J is a transsexual, and T doesn't approve; he is convinced that J is evil, and going to perish, but, T cheats on his Wife, often with members of the Church, in which he is a leader! Now, is there ANY grounds for T to judge, and condemn J? I think not! Instead of FOCUSING ON THE LORD, and HIS PRINCIPLES, which WOULD keep T from straying from THE TRUTH, AND setting an example for others, he CHOOSES to focus on the flaws of J, WHILE continuing to feed his own flesh, in a sexually immoral way, according to THE WILL of *GOD*, and HIS DECREES! See???
Let us work on our OWN errs, while REMAINING IN THE WORD, then, as we grow, setting an example for others to follow, in ACTION, and REACTION, not in words, because without THE TRUTH in action, and reaction, words are hypocritical, and wasted, for THE TRUTH is NOT in them!!!
