And yet you appear to do so anyway.
As for threatening to kill people, Christ said we are guilty of murder if we do that. I have a hard time with your attitude about that, as though it is no big deal. No one in my family has ever threatened to kill me. As a matter of fact I can’t remember anyone outside of my family threatening to kill me, either. It is a big deal.
Thank God for your plain-vanilla existence, I guess. I have had more people than I can count threaten to "kill" me. And yet here I am. Threats don't mean anything when the person issuing the threat has no intention of carrying it out. The police deemed Gibson's threat invalid. That's why they took no action. I can assure you that people do in fact make bogus threats like this sometimes. You can think it's a big deal if you like. The police did not.
When God tells us that a person who abandons his family is worse than a heathen; or that hating people is the sin of murder; he does not make exception for bi polar disorder.
As a matter of fact, you have no idea what God makes an exception for. The Bible does not mention Bi-Polar disorder anywhere that I have noticed.
You also have no idea whether Mel Gibson has or has not left the faith. That is between him and God.
And you are in fact judging him. And it sounds very much to me that you are enjoying it.
And bear in mind that nowhere did I exhalt the man's faith, or compare it to that of others (with the possible exception of people who write articles like this). I have no idea what the man's relationship with God is, just like I have no idea whether he is really suffering from a mental illness. I have never met him, and neither have you, and yet you judge him anyway, and pretend that you don't.
“Christ said judge not lest ye be judged; He also said to judge with righteous judgment.
And yet you appear to do so anyway.”
No, you have to read the whole Bible. He also said to judge with righteous judgment, etc., as I listed
If you think living without death threats is a “plain vanilla” existence, well, I don’t know what to say.
