The seeds of the desire to punish
So what made me want to punish Lee Ann. By the way in case you haven't gathered so far I think the desire to punish is EVIL. I think it is sin. A sin that Jesus decried in the Pharisees and that is more important than any of the sins we normally think about, cursing, drinking, and so on. Some of the ingredients of the desire to punish are:
-Self-pity instead of the benefit of the doubt
-Self-centeredness instead of other centeredness
-enslavement ot the law rather than the grace of God
-self-justification over self-sacrifice
-trading redemption for "tit for tat"
Can you think of any ingredients of the desire to punish?
