Recently, the associate parish bishop of the church I attend gave a one-sided pro-forgiveness-only sermon in his cowardly ignorance, while in contrast the senior parish bishop deliberately insisted on imposing [non-Scriptural] apocryphal readings in place of The Bible during worship service against his congregation for whatever doctrines-of-demons excuses he concocted.

The associate referred to a recent news report of some resentful milkman trucker gunning down several Amish-girl toddlers in Pennsylvania, and specifically the 'forgiveness' everyone nearby reportedly declared.

Forgiveness? For whom? The murderer? The wife of the murderer? What wrong did she do to require forgiveness? What wrong did the family or acquaintances or business associates of the murderer around the area do to deserve forgiveness? What wrong did society in general do to need forgiveness for the insidious acts done by one deranged kook by himself?

Does the OBVIOUSLY-impenitent murderer deserve forgiveness? Should we pray pardon for his damned [accursed] soul? Should we forgive the Devil and his demons for wreaking all the misery upon humankind they already have done, are doing now, and will do? The associate bishop says that that judgmental call is "not up to him." Indeed, it takes real Power to punish such ones adequately!

There is NO forgiveness for murder needed for those who have not murdered. Neither bloodguilt NOR shame is on their hands. There is also NO forgiveness for that one who presumed to take the power of terminating life of little girls and then his own himself (when he saw the inevitable as SWAT sharpshooters closed in on him) - as if vengeance belonged to himself and not to God. But the LORD has the the final say and the final action. He alone has always been, is now, and always will be the Ultimate Vengeance by burning not only genocidal murderers in tormenting hellfire forever but also those who substitute satanic verses, demonic dogma, and consequences as replacements to or supplements against God's TRUE Word.

Christ's forgiveness and our forgiveness is NOT for everyone across-the-board. Record after record of Biblical-history justice reminds us of not only the Lord's but His servant's lethal intolerance against not merely sins but the sinner and sinners who commit transgressions deserving execution.

To give examples, David informed Goliath that because Goliath defied the armies of the living God that David would cut off Goliath's head...which actually happened. The Holy Spirit forgave neither lying anti-Jeremiah Hananiah nor Ananias and Sapphira who dropped down dead, as did 186,000 Assyrian soldiers in one night and the corrupt ruler Herod who was eaten by worms. From His cross, our Lord Jesus pronounced forgiveness both for the misguided agitated Jews calling for His crucifixion who later repented because of Peter's pentecostal sermon and for the Roman soldiers plus Pilate merely doing their peacekeeping duties, one of which centurions remarked "Truly this was the Son of God' upon Christ's demise. 'Crucified under Pontius Pilate' became Jerusalem sacked by Pilate-influenced understandable Roman vengeance against 'crucified under disbelieving jealous jews' Jerusalem in 70 A.D. And the centurion pronouncing Christ as truly the Son of God turned into the Holy Roman Empire under Christian Constantine. Forgiveness from the cross was NOT intended for perpetually-hardened blind-guide-fool jewish-authority pharisees and scribes, however....who to this day most likely are in the same anguishing situation as the wicked annihilated Canaanite kings Joshua and Company destroyed, evil Old-Testament kings of Israel and Judah, anti-David Saul, anti-Esther Haman, anti-Lazarus rich man in Hades, anti-Jesus Judas, and so forth.
