Though I be not the savior as I assume your next charge will dally with, I follow him and I don't find that following him is accomplished in turning from his command and his word and seeking the reason of myself or other men in place of what he has clearly leveled as his measure of justice. Grace, not the sword is the rule of the day. You made to yourselves a rule of the sword and you were put to it. Who then must speak to you to get you to heed the word of Almighty God? I find it no robbery to speak in his stead in saying Not my will; but, God's. Not my word but God's. Not my opinion or reason; but, God's. Your clergy has set itself above God in this matter and others. Tempt me no further on the matter. If you can't accept the Word of the living God, then there is no answer in the universe for you and nowhere to turn. You follow another master. I'm sticking with mine.
Is answering questions sinful? Is that why you won't answer? Do you think these passages you cite call for an absolute prohibition on the use of force and the absolute lack of any enforcement of any law?
