I always had dilemmas as Dub, based on "morality".
For example, I would ask - What's better, bad Dub or a good Pagan? Or a happy loyal monogamous homosexual couple or a dysfunctional philandering abusive hetero couple? And listen to the pre-programmed biased rhetoric fly!
I felt (at the time) the answer was neither. "God" wanted the "bad" Dub to become "good" and the "good" Pagan to become a Dub. Thus satisfying all criteria and "saving" both. Now I can't even give an opinion or I approach passing unjustified judgement, which is something I hope to never do again.
I now see "God" isn't all that concerned with "good" and "bad" esspecially if the Dubs are "His people", because no one with a good heart and mind could ever reconcile the behaviour and ways of the Dubs with a loving "God". It's not possible.
That would mean that the Pharisees were indeed "God's" people and anyone who chose to ignore those hypocrites was wrong - WRONG!
Why can't "God" have people who truly represent Him in the right way and reflect such? Oh, maybe He does.... here on JWD!!!
