Oh it is quite clear that the heathens wish simply to fallaciously dismiss us by lumping us with the murderous muslims because they know we, and none else, are the salt of this earth despite our foibles. They know our beliefs are correct and that they are accountable to them. That is why they do not hesitate to throw our weaknesses into our faces whenever we point into the direction of rightness. They are under the same moral standard as we are, and they sense it.
I certainly am not flustered by it at all, not even in the least. Here in these forums, as well as in life, I point in the direction of rightness and do not even in the least bit flinch when heathens point elsewise. When I err and heathens take occasion of the error to claim I am as bad off as they, I know that they lie and that they know that they lie, further condemning themselves. You see, whereas they take my failure as a license to more openly and vigorously enjoy evil, I take my failure as simply a failure. I know the failure is a failure because it has been measured against the rightness to which I, unlike the heathens, am ever pointing. God will have mercy on men who fail, who confess their failure and repent of it. He will not have mercy on heathens who condemn themselves by comparing themselves to fragile Christians instead of the Word of Truth.
The heathens have no excuse at all. I know it and they know it. In such company I consider it a fortunate thing indeed that I do not have the responsibility of saving them. My job is simple-- to point rightward even in failure. That much I can do. So when heathens whine about my failure and arrogantly seek to publish it and justify it in themselves rather than publish and justify the Standard by which the failure is made a failure, I am perfectly content to let them whine themselves straight to hell - just as long as I am doing my job, however feebly, of ever pointing rightward. |
