There is no law against these kinds of things.
These are the Spiritual Fruit as defined by Scripture.
If there was an actual holy spirit we would expect that Christians would, for the most part, be more loving, peaceful, kind, good, gentle, good and have more self control just like the bible verse you quoted. That does not happen. Christians do not exhibit these traits to a higher degree than nonChristians.
You have assured us that you are a Christian, Drich but I don't see any proof that you are more gentle or patient, for example, than anyone else.
In order for you to say that have to have known me before I became a Christian. In truth I went for an unforgiving (burn your house down) rage monster to more of a burn a bag of dog doo on your porch anger monster.
Plus you need to seriously include the enviroment you are judging me in as well. Here I have 15 to 20 different people trying to bring out the worst in me for what 3 years now? And what's the worst I've said? F-U? I'm shaking the dust from my feet?
I am far and way from being complete. but I am pointed in the right direction.

No I said Soceity says slavery is OK if you simply rename it.
What that phrase means is you are hypocrits in the worst way if you slavery is bad yet condone it/benefit from it under a different name.
3rd grade version: (You are the monsters that allow slavery the only condition you have is if you call it by a different name)
Do you understand what I am saying yet?

Is everyone short sighted?
Eternity is a whole lot longer than the 50 years you may have left here. So why not invest this fifty to put you in a position to benfit eternally?

Well, eternal life is questionable and the awfulness of wishing someone AIDS is not.
It wasn't a wish. It was an invitation for God to do whatever it took, (to give you the proof you need to make eternity not questionable) even if it meant something like AIDS or Cancer.
