how to condemn yourself

Romans 1 continues on about the wrath of God.

about exchanging the truth about God for a lie.
worshiping and serving things rather than the Creator
about being filled with every kind of wickedness (a great word):
evil, greed and depravity.
Full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice.
about being gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful

etc etc etc

It then continues into Romans 2, which is a little bit interesting

"You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, FOR AT WHATEVER POINT YOU JUDGE ANOTHER, YOU ARE CONDEMNING YOURSELF, BECAUSE YOU WHO PASS JUDGMENT DO THE SAME THINGS"

Holy shit.

"Or do you show contempt for the richness of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?"

which lead me into what I was reading today in my current book...
