Legitimacy/authority, you have neither and yet you stood in a place of judgement and condemnation. Christ tells a similar parable of the unmercifully servant. In short one slave, judges another slave as you did, and was found out by the Master of both slaves. When this happened the master cast the judgmental slave into prison.
IMO, a slave master has no moral high ground that allows him to judge anyone. If anything he should beg for his slave's forgiveness.
And I thought everything god does is good in itself, but apparently, it's good because he's god. If we do what he does, it'll become less good. So in fact, god isn't all good, he's just managed to convince you that he's good.
Quote:just because your lot in live places you in a better social standing than your fellow slave does not make you any less of a slave, and it certainly does not give you the power or authority to judge, much less Levi a judgement against your fellow man, and force him to confess anything to you. Not that man is not ultimately accountable to God. What you have done is taken the mantel of God for yourself, which you do indeed have the ability to do in this life. However when this life is over you will be held accountable to the standard you hold everyone else.
? Obviously you and I hold people to different standards than you do. Will you be subjected to my standards or will I be subjected to yours?
