I’m afraid we are the cul-de-sac.
You use a portion of a chapter which goes on to say “6 But a brother who has a cause at law against another takes it before Gentile judges. 7 More than this, it is not to your credit to have causes at law with one another at all. Why not put up with wrong? why not undergo loss? 8 So far from doing this, you yourselves do wrong and take your brothers’ property.”
Which is an exhortation to refrain from suing one another
in a court of law. It encourages that perhaps we can settle our differences as Christians, among ourselves, by giving up a little.
An affliction can happen in the brain. It can manifest in many ways. Think how difficult it is to think during a migraine which is a physical manifestation of something wrong. How much more difficult to think if your brain is experiencing a chemical imbalance?
Yes, in the Old Testament, we were under the law and had to know the law in order to detect evil and put it from us.
Now we have Christ and his spirit that transforms us and intercedes for us that evil is put away from us.
Is not Christ the shepherd and does he not seek each and every lost sheep? Not just the good and pretty ones, but Every lost sheep.
