One has noted that the billing cycles of many business concerns regarding the expectation of payments for goods and services, have changed over the years from 30 days, to 21 days, to 14 days, to 10 days in some cases resulting in personal bookkeeping aggravation and confusion. A return to a 30 day billing cycle is most reasonable.
People who have digressed with their own morality should still recommend, stress and teach moral behavior to others. For example, if one is guilty of the personal sin of smoking cigarettes, the advice given to others should not be to engage in smoking due to health concerns.
People are influenced by the company they keep. The degree or amount of influence is greater in an immoral society as the group assumes precedence over the individual in both public and private situations.
It is important and an expectation of God that one forgives evil doers for their part in wreaking major havoc and destruction on societies. The Bible repeatedly states that as one forgives others then one is forgiven by God for one’s own transgressions. However, forgiveness, trust, and serving justice to evil doers are three different concepts and definitions but could be related. A legitimate court of law verifies this idea many times by stating a hope for the rehabilitation (repentance and penance), of the evil doer. But, and depending on the crime for example murder, the evil doer could still spend a lifetime in prison. The statement of the necessity to punish evil behavior is also repeatedly stated in The Bible. However, it is important to realize that the following of The Ten Commandments is necessary when serving justice to violators of these Laws otherwise the cycle of evil regains momentum in the society and begins to gain power and influence over the population of people once again. Another situation to exemplify the concepts of forgiveness, trust, and serving justice (in this case a punishment), is an example of a child who steals money from a parent or sibling. The parent(s) would likely punish a child for this theft but would also likely forgive the child for this evil behavior. The parent(s) however may cease to trust the child again until that child earns back the trust of the parent(s) which may or may not occur although the child has been forgiven for the theft. So one may forgive another but may not trust that person again. Recognize that some of the above statements regarding trust and serving justice could be argued and debated leading to confusion, based on mind controlled factors that permeate an evil society where even moral and religious people are attacked.
Excerpts from an article shown below titled “A Nation Void of Justice” by Rev. Paul Michael Raymond, discusses the repercussions that occur in a nation when the people reject God and His Laws.
“Once a nation or its political leaders embrace the notion of Biblical atheism, the idea of an absolute standard of righteousness dissolves. Once the notion of an absolute standard is disregarded, the idea of absolute justice too is disregarded. A nation without God is a nation without justice. Justice, without the God of Justice, becomes unjust since it now functions under a vacillating humanistic set of rules and standards. When man denies the God of Justice, man becomes the god of justice, and thus justice is no longer justice but begins to transition itself into tyranny.”
