Sorry if it seemed I was avoiding the question: I didn't pull that from anything you had said.
A desire for justice is fine - I've said this. I don't believe sin exists; but bad, harmful actions do. These actions should be despised.
There should be concern for the victims, also.
If there was no justice, then there would be no deterrent for crime. But when it escalates to "There has to be more justice after death that continues forever." is where I have a problem.
Why must this exist? The bible says to forgive and turn the other cheek. When a family actively seeks out revenge - their own justice - things often go awry. Once a person is out of the hands of the living, it should be let go. Many christians say that to hold something against someone in their heart will destroy them. The Lord's prayer says "Forgive us as we forgive those who have sinned against us."
