What a wonderful explanation of grace! But it doesn't tell the entire story.

It tells of the blessings we receive when we can look at people without deciding to take on what God says must be left to Him, iwhen we try to make them pay for their sins instead of letting God take care of it. When we look at people we are to see them as brothers, God created just as we are, we are not to look at their sins. However, this article is not bringing up the truth that if we see they are murderers we are to help the govenment get rid of them to protect our fellows, so he cannot murder again.

see them asbrothers, God created just as we are, we are not to look at their sins. However, this article is not bringing up thetruth that if we see they are a murderer we are to help the government get ridof them to protect our fellows, so he cannot murder again.

It also fails to bring up what we are to do when we are given grace. Through grace we are wiped clean, made like new. But we are not to fail to respect that, we are to go "and sin no more".

Hi there Red Tent. if you read the post again, you'll see that BOTH of the things you mentioned arent to worry about because they are both stated in my blog, but clearly you misunderstood. also, considering im 15 with 600 views on that particular post, shows me that i must have done something right. :)
heres the proof:

"if you look at a murderer, actually lets go as far as, if you look at someone who murdered a family member that was close to you, would you honestly straight away be able to turn around and say to that person, “i love you.” Without any retaliation to what they’ve done, and even without ANY punishment (prison). I know that I probably wouldn’t. in all honesty,I would be angry. I would be upset and heart sore. I would want to get revenge because its in our nature. "

in the quote above, i never once said "let the murderer go.

"A friend once said to me that Gods gift of Grace is like someone giving you a job and saying, “here’s a job, you don’t have to apply, have an interview or do anything, you get R1 000 000 a week, but you’ll still get the money even if you don’t do any work or if you don’t even pitch, the money’s still yours.” wouldn’t you WANT TO pitch up to work, wouldn’t you want to work for that R1 000 000? Its the EXACT same with Gods Grace, its completely free, but if you love him, don’t you want to give something back in return?"

i think that one is self explanatory.
