1 | Please stop laying blame -Marylin Manson | 1 Cor 13:1 | Schoolman | 126901 | ||
We are told to love our neighbor as ourselves. AMnson does not accomplish this. God loves MAnson, but he must first rid himself of his sinful ways before he can be accepted by the Christian community. We can offer gental persuasion, but can not force him to change his ways. As long as he chooses to live in sin we are commanded by God to remove him from among our midsts so as not to be tempted by his evil ways. He is welcome, if he will change his ways. | ||||||
2 | Please stop laying blame -Marylin Manson | 1 Cor 13:1 | Ancient | 126905 | ||
You know, after considering this, I'm wondering, should we not be loving Marylin Manson? I know we should separate ourselves from the world, but this is more a matter of association. We should love our enemies, bless those that curse us, render good for evil, etc. Should we, as the Christian community in general, not be treating such a man as described in the Sermon on the Mount, that perhaps he will hear us and find the truth? Love suffers all things, hopes all things. Love is patient, and does not act unbecomingly. Love bears all things and endures all things. Should this not be our attitude toward him? "He causes His sun to rise on the the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." [Matt 5:44-48] Ancient |
