Justice and forgiveness: they don’t contradict! In Heaven, Saints don’t sin, right? But here: saints asking when God will avenge them. (Cue the psychological abuse of pastors to now say they aren’t being forgiving and Jesus loves all). #churchtoo #csa 1/6 
We are born with the demand for justice when sin is done. Then along comes abusers that say, “see, you aren’t being forgiving by allowing not wanting the pedophile in the church.” 2/6

Again, I wrap up with this that hit me tonight. The saints in Heaven aren’t being “unforgiving” by demanding vengeance. Wolves aren’t going to be forgiven. Heck, if Jesus flips over money-changing tables for theft, how much more will He do to child sex abusers? We can 4/6
4give if They repent. Luke 17:3&4. Bible doesn’t contradict itself and if you have been fed the same lies I was for yrs. to keep the abuse going, then you are mistaken like me. If my abuser repents with actions, then I am 4give, Not B4. That doesn’t make me bitter. 5/6
When I think about eternity, I can pray they repent. That’s how I can “love” my enemies at a safe distance and protect myself. But I won’t feel compassion for the abuser before repentance is shown. That’s foolish. And keep the damn pedophiles/wolves out of the church. 6/6
