We will not be judged collectively. The accounting will be individual.

The judgement comes later. First is that we are all sinners.

We don’t all have the same sin.

Sure we do.

No, we don’t.

Yes…we absolutely do.

The root cause of “sin” in the Bible is the same for all of us…and is all that matters.

If I’m a racist you’re a racist?

Is it that difficult for you to put together? First greatest commandment and second greatest commandment are the 2 commandments upon which all other commandments are based. A violation of any commandment is a violation of the 1st and/or 2nd. This isn’t complicated. That’s what Jesus means when he says the Law and the Prophets hang on them. Likewise I John 5:3. Failing to obey God derives out of a failure to love Him. That’s boilerplate orthodox Christian theology.

I didn’t ask for an explanation, I asked where that statement can be found in scripture.

My verbatim statement? Nowhere. The precise principle my statement conveys? See above.

I understand.

Someday.

No, I really do.

So you’re interpreting it for me?

i will never go to chik fil a

why not?

not enough pandering?

No, because it’s not real chicken. The stuff was never alive. Grown in a petrie dish. Needs some kind of sauce to have taste.

@WuWei

I don’t normally accommodate this line of silly reasoning, so I’ll just leave it at this:

“For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments”

And I agree with that. When you inverted it is where you ran afoul.

But thanks for the explanation.

Do your children ever disobey you?

Cathy didn’t call anyone a racist.

If you think he did, you absolutely failed to understand what he was saying.

Then there was no reason to bring it up.

Yes, there is.

If I have “implicit bias”, you have implicit bias. Original sin.

Sorry, dude. Already hijacked a political thread with religion forum discussion, not gonna keep heading down that road. Especially since your question opens up a whole other lengthy road. Should’ve followed my normal policy and just stayed out of it.

[JayJay]

Yes.

And?

Yes.

And?

Because they don’t love you?

Cathay had an opportunity here, he blew it.

CfL CEO says:

“about a dozen Chick-fil-A restaurants vandalized in the last week, but my plea would be for the white people, rather than point fingers at that kind of criminal effort, would be to see the level of frustration and exasperation and almost the sense of hopelessness that exists on some of those activists within the African-American community.”

I want to know what’s next. (Not from the CEO. What’s next in the process.)

I see the frustration. I understand it. I know that generations of minorities were gypped (at a minimum) along the way. (Such as government programs to bolster home ownership in the 1930s and 40s shut out blacks. And that the passing of wealth from generation to generation often comes in the form of the family home.)

Cathy says to look beyond the protest destruction and see the frustration. OK, and after everyone sees it (and even acknowledges it), … then what? Do the same after each successive round of looting?

What is the measurable change that would stop the looting?
