It's not one-sided

The Bible states,"all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God".It DOESN"T state, if one side sins, they fall short,but if the other side does the same thing, then it's ok.God is no respecter of persons.But in the world, it's different.They seem to have partiality of one side doing something over the other.{"Double standard'}Examples?Oh. if men say things about women,even when they don't mean something by it, they're giving bad "labels".BUT, I notice a lot of women who have contempt for, and maybe even hatred for, men, who consistently downgrade"all" men because maybe they had bad experiences with 3 men.Also, these, comedy shows that women always make "cracks" about men, putting them down,{as in "all" men},but if it was the other way around , there would be protests.{In other words, {according to the worlds way of thinking, if it's the side that they've "chosen" at the moment, it's ok, it's only "wrong" when the "other side" does it.} Like ,I've heard black people who ,a white person may have black friends, and have helped black people out,they're obviously NOT racist, but one day they have a very minor disagreement with a black guy{over a non racial issue} they're called "racist", even though it doesn't fit that particular case.,{But I've seen the other way, if they speak ill of "all" white people, that's fine.}And finally, politics.If a Trump supporter {or other conservative} says something, it's blown all out of proportion,and condemned. But when a "liberal" comedian disrespects "the other side" then it's ok.So my point is, according to Biblical standards, when the Bible states something is a sin, and God is no respecter of persons,isn't it sin on EITHER end?Man sees it as,"when your side does it, it's wrong, but when my side does it, that's fine."But if the Bible states something is sin, wouldn't it be sin for BOTH sides?Combating one extreme by going to the other, doesn't make it "right".All it is is engaging in tit for tat.There is no partiality with God.Either something is right by God, or something is wrong.No partiality.

I don't have to be a clone of you either. GOODBYE!!!

If you don't want to be a true deciple of Jesus than what are you doing here?
I at times, don't want to reply to your posts Steven but I cannot not do what Jesus puts on my heart to do. If I read your post and leave it, there is a burning in my heart to return at times. I read your post again and I post what I have read in Jesus' Words that replies to your posts then the peace of Jesus overflows through me again. I don't want to be stagnant in Jesus! I desire the peace of Jesus and I desire the blessings of Jesus and I don't want it to end, not now and not for an eternity in Jesus! If you don't desire Jesus and all that Jesus has to offer than what are you doing here?

Brother Steven did you ever wonder that maybe, just maybe, God may be dealing with you on how you deal with other people. There is always one common denominator in your stories. That common denominator is you. You were created for God's good pleasure and God's glory. And I pray that it is God's good pleasure to use you for His glory!

What you don't realize, or maybe you do, you have a way about you that makes a person look on the other side of the coin.

Everyone is not always going to agree with you. Everyone didn't agree with God or His Son, Jesus. But God and Jesus are right whether anyone agrees with either of them.

I am like a journalist, I will seek out the truth or the answer. I will search the Scriptures for truth. I Love Truth! God is Truth!!!

A Prayer for Today "Father, thank You for making me in Your image. Help me to see any areas where my thinking is contaminated. I choose to meditate on Your Word daily so I can live the life You’ve prepared for me in Jesus’ name. Amen."

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
(Romans 12:2, NIV)
