And it is also full of sloths and degenerates who rationalize excuses for their laziness and weakness and their willful decision to follow the paths of indolence and depravity.

Those sloths and degenerates, along with average sinners and weak-willed folks, are AIDED and ABETTED by a culture that attempts to redefine behaviors as "diseases" (alcoholism and other addictions) or "sexual orientations" (homosexuality) and thereby relieve the individual from taking responsibility. It hurts them because it leaves them mired in their weakness with zero way out.

The wrongness of such well-intended "help" does as much damage to the spirit as the bad behavior itself. The best help anyone can give them is to love the sinner but hate the sin, and to live the TRUTH, which is that a person is responsible for his/her own behaviors, even when genetics/circumstances make one person's road rocky where another person's road is smooth.

Responsible in what manner, however.

If this is one more attempt to smuggle a “bear your own burden on your own shoulders” into the gospel, it is simply abomination.
