). Satan pulls us into one of two paths: "The Path of the Pushover." Satan tempts us to prioritize our mistaken interpretation of "loving our neighbor" over loving God, constantly affirming, and we let mercy rob justice. "The Path of the Punisher." Satan tempts us with a mistaken idea of loving God, constantly condemning, and we let supposed justice rob any mercy. By contrast, Jesus invites us to put away both natural man tendencies and instead follow the "Path of the Peacemaker." We harmonize justice and justice and mercy. We recognize both halves of the Lord's statement: "Neither do I condemn thee" AND "Go and sin no more."
