You are right on Bobert. If you believe then you believe that ALL will be brought out. Luke 8:16-18. Elsewhere Jesus teaches that there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed. However Psalms 103:11,12 tells us that as far as the east is from the west God will put away our transgressions and remember them against us no more. Jesus also tells us that our sins will be remembered against us no more.

The point in all this is that to those who come to Christ for forgiveness, they are forgiven all and for those who do not, their sin remains against them.

When we cry out for justice (and it is right that we do so) we also need to remember that there are two edges to that sword. It cuts both ways. We need to be sure of our facts in the case against those who oppress and we need to be sure about our own condition. For myself, I will call for justice for the next person to his relief but for myself, I know what I am. I ask only mercy and I forgive all those who owe me. Why? (Matt 6:14-15). And because I believe that Christ bore the punishment that was rightfully mine in his own body and paid the price I could NEVER pay. I cannot ask for justice for myself as that would also put that burden back on me. No thanks!

Also, I must consider that there are those on both side of a question who are in good conscience attemmpting to do what they believe to be the right thing. The questions they face are not easy and the ramifications are far-reaching. They seek guidence form above as well as from their peers and from those they represent. Let's be sure we are not buying into propaganda and that we are not calling for blood when all is not known to us.

I have good conscince about my political views and I know they are very different from many of you as I read your views. I cannot judge you but I can and do judge the merit of your ideas. Even so, your hearts may be truly in line with what you consider to be right (correct, that is!). So be it. That is what is great about the American system. We don't have to go killing each other just because we see things differently. We can try to convince others and then engage in fair and open elections, then live with the outcome. No rigme is forever in the US.
