On the other hand, that’s why I brought up the Matthew references–thought is the same as action. I’ll have to think about it more. (Isn’t that always the case?)

A sobering reminder of what humanity is in sight of a holy God. I was reminded of Romans 6:23 when you said “to sentence one person to death based on this depravity is to sentence everyone to death.” Surely death is the wage that humanity has already earned for itself.
While we cannot sentence people based upon their innate depravity, I think it is fair to sentence them based upon the degree to which they express that depravity in their actions. What do you think?

Joe
