This writing has been withdrawn from the site. At best, though my intentions were good, it was ill-conceived, and a bit scattered, which is what I get for trying to tackle heavy theological concepts.

Here’s the favorite whipping boy of the new covenant, who checked out scripturally before anyone could apply Jesus’ enemy loving philosophy to him. So can we, in good conscience still continue the whipping?
