>That's not true mercy. That's you doing something because you were told to and/or you're afraid God will be mad at you if you don't. BIG difference.
Wrong again, I may do it knowing that Ol Sheol is deeper and wider than an imagination. Contemplate what I just told you, then contemplate it again, and again, and think, it is still deeper and wider.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
You use scripture as a weapon to thwart off anyone's accountability for their crimes against humanity. That is a partial equation and I know that is what you are doing and remember, God sent many into battle against evil. Here is the partial, because I know you are guessing. What if your neighbor is not your neighbor but a killer of children, a organ harvester, and adrenochrome junkie, a genocidal maniac, are they still your neighbor even if they live close to you? You guess and you scripture as a weapon.
Reread this where it says sacrifice the good. NCSWIC
