The practice of Christianity is primarily about repentance. We none of us have full control over our behaviour but we always have the ability to correct our hearts by swallowing our pride and accepting divine forgiveness. And we are obliged to forgive others who have repented.
Wokeness doesn't understand this. It sees people, woke and Christians both, as hypocrites. And we are! This is because it's necessary to advocate ideal moral standards, even the ones we ourselves are incapable of meeting.
However, if someone posts 'hate speech' somewhere this will always be held against them by the woke. So, yes, wokeness does not forgive. There is no mercy.
- papandada 5y agoEven worse, we're supposed to follow the example of forgiving our enemies while they murder us. ("For they know not what they do") this leads to controversy even among Christians, but the cross is scandalous (Greek skandalon is literally a block that causes stumbling) foolishness when encountered face first. God acted first, forgave us before we repented, even forgives those who will never repent ("causes rain to fall on the righteous and unrighteous"). But there is judgment, krinomai, discernment of a heart's response to that forgiveness -- God allows us to reject him in the end, and if I ultimately reject the source of life, I die.
