And before the mods get nervous this *is* a rules discussion.

Yea, for the purposes of this discussion, I see your point. I guess I was addressing a different theological issue, which can arise from this saying.
It's interesting to see this in a basketball light. We help the game when we call fouls as being simply illegal actions, and not as "judgments" on people. This is why we work to call technical fouls as fouls and not as emotional, showy attacks. We have to judge in the sense of discriminating between "right" and "wrong", in the context of the basketball game, but we can do it without judging in the sense of attacking or insulting the offender. We usually say this by saying "Will the T make the game better?" and by talking abourt avoiding a retributive attitude.
Is that enough, mods, to keep this discussion of scripture from being cut out of this thread? |
