Norm, you have smuggled in an assumption (hat tip to C S Lewis) that to permit evil is to endorse it.

That would be an unbridgeable conundrum were it not the sacrifice of the Cross.

An entire LIFETIME will be spent progressively turning away from more and more evil, with a point of perfection NEVER reached until the transition into heaven has completed.

Sometimes the state in which the power of faith may be first seen can be rather raunchy. Look at Rahab the Harlot (she is in Jesus’ earthly family tree). Did she get asked or told to quit being a harlot? Nope. She only was asked to discreetly mark a dwelling and to keep a secret. Which she did, and she got praise for it. See the book of Hebrews.

It is the right of Christ to bear whatever sins He chooses. Trying to be more finicky than Him is always, always, always an attempt to be righteous in our own power — it will not work!

Not real interested in debating the word of God with an idiot that admits on public forums that he believes Abortion to be a ‘lesser evil’.
