Basic rules? To what? Help me, I'm baffled here.
| MM - I like the way you think, and I usually find myself agreeing with you and being enlightened by your ideas, so I hope you'll accept one small idea from me:
It seems to me that Jesus was not interested in exclusivity in his teachings. Sounds like a bit of PC there. Jesus was inclusive in many things, but downright close-minded in a few. In fact, reactionary, in that he insisted that people follow the basic rules as instructed by God. He wasn't very concerned about many of the process kind of issues, circumcision, offerings, mixed fabrics, Gentiles, etc., but he was very definite on the basics - the condition of our souls. "Enter ye in at the strait gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be who go in thereat." Matthew 7:13 |
What are they, in your opinion.
