The Bible is clear that judgment belongs to the Lord.

It is entirely possible to hold two ideas in mind at one time: such as that a person has valuable gifts and insights to share that benefit the conservative political community AND that the same person is struggling with a serious personality defect with origins in childhood abuse.

In other words, love the sinner, hate the sin.

Funny you should post this, because the notion of “holding two ideas in mind at one time” has come to my mind often, during the past few days.

It was F. Scott Fitzgerald who said or wrote (maybe it was in ‘The Crackup’):

“The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.”

We are living in complicated times.
