More baffling is their "unforgiving" attitude while still professing a "Christian" belief.
I sure wouldn't want to be a judge in these matters; much less walking in God's shoes in deciding any fate.
In a large example, the Hatfield's and McCoy's comes to mind, however even within our own inner circles things can be blown out of proportion. Especially if communication is shut down and nothing is resolved because no one wants to bend even a little. Then drastic actions may be needed to remove this block.
For instance, King Solomon. He had it pretty rough, even though he played it pretty cool, when he told the two women, in order to solve a child dispute, that he had to cut the baby in half and give each half to each woman ... which stopped the dispute instantly. (1 Kings 3:16-28)
I guess being a wise judge means being a psychic judge too ... sensing the truth in each situation. It appears this would be a plus in judging any case. It could help break through the dust of deceit and get to the truth faster.
Hmmm ... with psychic wisdom, maybe I COULD tackle walking in God's shoes in order to solve problems. Couldn't hurt ... might help ... makes sense to me. ;-)
