Warning: Christianity Thoughts that might be important to international regulation. Thoughts from someone that is a Christian and who is not a preacher, priest, or minister.
People likely don’t desire to see each other burn in hell, thus would likely give reasons for mercy with the hope that God will give self mercy in front of the pearly gate.
That said, people see sin as risk. Someone that drinks nothing working for your company, or someone that drinks too much working for your company? Society doesn’t A drinking out, reduce drinking in ideal ways – otherwise might not have bars and clubs, alcohol might not be available at grocery stores and restaurants. Prohibition didn’t work does not equate to the risk sin poses is inconsequential.
Trust someone to run a company that is generous or someone that sets greed to no big deal. People are not required to factor in their own sins, own potential for less mercy when making risk assessments about who to hire, who to promote, and when.
There is value in being perceived as less sinful by others. It is more likely to open up possibilities and opportunities than seen as less than ideal sin out, less than ideal risk, risk people that are already saddle with burdens don’t want to take on.
If one winds up in the criminal justice system and has something left on their permanent record it might disqualify from many positions, if hired it might factor into decisions around pay and opportunities within a company – potential for less-than-ideal leverage out. People that are looking for friends or companions are likely to be less interested in taking on greater risk for people that are less financially stable at times. Society promotes people to be Christians, ask for forgiveness, while at the same time limits opportunities and options available to have a real and blessed life, a life I would say lives up to Golden Rule for others.
Golden Rule is it wise to let a system capture someone, throw them in courts, take years of their life, and then put them back into the system with a severe handicap to achieving future progress and the American dream? Should God, Christ show us mercy and grace, if we fail on delivering mercy, grace, and Golden Rule for others?
If a system will ideal on image, and yes I believe in a world full of CFB Cute Funny Beautiful our system is not above idealizing on image, good PR, spotless records – then one might venture to say is proximity to a system like that likely to produce ideal injustice out wise? Can’t trust a system to do right by people while allowing records of less than spotless equates to it is questionable how valuable records of less than spotless are, how sin free reinforcing a system and systems with records of sin is.
Support matters, systemic indifference and leverage might lead to extra hurdles to getting sufficient support. Per Golden Rule I want other citizens to have sufficient support.
Corinthians 6:9-11 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
If society puts an innocent man in jail or prison for years and then that man becomes homosexual will they inherit the kingdom of God? Is the society that takes an innocent man’s years ideal thief out? Forgiven by society or by God – no prisoners say Lord’s Prayer at beginning of their sentence? Forgiven by Christ not innocent? Don’t judge has value, mercy given facilitates mercy received.
