Where's The Line?
And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not. ~ Malachi 3:18
It's ironic, in a very real and very scary way, that those who are "upholding" God's law are actually extremists who deny Him, while those who profess to serve Him are very good at living as if they were not.
As much as I love God, I fail miserably in my walk with Him. Full of good intentions, but only human and easily distracted at that. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak... Every time I succumb to the flesh, I mar my testimony. Even though I have excuses - good intention, moment of weakness, etc - the fact is, I sin and this does nothing to distinguish me from non-Christians.
The boundary lines between Good and Evil aren't that simple anymore, not to non-Christians, and not even to Christians who don't stick closely to God.
I may sound like a raving lunatic foaming at the mouth, spouting paranoid nonsense, fit to be locked in a nice, white padded cell, but the devil has already laid his oh-so-subtle trap. Good is being propagandized as evil. And those who seek to uphold God's law don't do it God's way, through love. They do it the human way, with hatred and ostracism, so that those who are compromising and tolerant are seen as 'good'.
Wolves in sheep's clothing + confused sheep = Dead sheep
