Enquiring minds want to know. Terry   Terry, I don’t think sin is funny, ever. Sometimes I laugh at it too, but that is so wrong. More importantly, I don’t think we should jokingly accuse people of sin wrongfully.  If we are serious we should just confront them with it in seriousness. I’m glad Jeff was not really accusing you, even jokingly, of something as egregious as anti-Semitism. I think it grieves the Holy Spirit when people wrongfully accuse others of sin, as the Lord  is the God of the righteous and He loves them dearly.  It is an affront to His holiness when the children He has made holy are subjected to the wiles of the Accuser.  I am seeing that I am very sensitive about that issue, for some reason—don’t know why it bothers me so much.
