Judgment
A common misconception, contradictory attack, or maybe an excuse, is to say that the bible says, "Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth", as a way to justify revenge.
This of course is wrong (why else would I mention it!).
Jesus points this out in Matthew Chapter 5:38-42.
To follow Jesus isn't easy, and I can't say I'm perfect.
Jesus says it's the Lord to revenge and not us.
I say.. He does it perfectly: We do it stupidly!
Paul also iterates saying that we should not fight 'evil with evil', but 'fight evil with good'. Romans 12:17-21.
I hope this has enthused and enlightened you.

Living grace is far too challenging.
Good job for the Holy Spirit, ay?
I am sorry I haven't spoken to you recently either. Pigeons are indeed a good mode of communication.
Anyway, I'm off to teach 13 year olds girls about serving. See ya.
Love
