“Suppose you found your brother in bed with your wife, and put a javelin through both of them. You would be justified, and they would atone for their sins, and be received into the Kingdom of God.

The blood of Christ will never wipe that out, your own blood must atone for it.”

By its very nature it is fitted only for average requirements, and inevitably fails under unusual requirements.”
