(7,397 posts)wouldn't that also mean he has to be forgiven every day? what is the shelf life on forgiveness? Is a person automatically covered for life?
He must be on the premium plan.

Yes it is. Love God and love your neighbor as yourself. Those two things cover everything! Racism is hatred of your neighbor; hence, a sin against God. Tweetler is the antichrist-the exact antithesis of everything Jesus is.

(146,288 posts)as attributed to Jesus, himself, in the book of Luke, Chapter 10, verses 25-37:
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
Everyone has heard of the parable of the Good Samaritan. Many Christians, though, prefer to ignore it in practice.

(14,856 posts)Maybe the Holy Spirit has led them to interpret that instruction to mean the opposite of what it says.
And even if he did literally say that and mean it the way he said it, he was only answering that one guy, wasn't he? Maybe the Holy Spirit has informed the racist Christians that Jesus didn't mean for everyone to do that.
Or maybe they've decided the whole episode is a piece of pure fiction, stuck in the Bible as a metaphor for, well, something.
See how complicated this can be? There just isn't any way to prove the racist Christians are doing it wrong.
