Still pondering.
1. The rush of history toward Armageddon will make all that article mostly moot.
2. Certainly Christians ought to err on the side of individual liberty and freedom . . . within some Godly constraints.
3. “Legalizing” rampant outrageous sin as kosher is deadly folly before Almighty God.
4. Certainly Christians have abdicated in a horrific list of ways . . . being salt and light as well as being Christian to one another and to a hurting world in a list of practical ways.
5. i.e. to many of us have been happy to have 5 or 6 or 10 coats while our brother had none. King David had lots of wealth and he probably didn’t make every pauper a millionaire. However, he did care for a lot of poor and Mephibosheth sp? ate at his table. To whom much is given, much is required. Should be interesting when Bill Gates meets God face to face.
6. Being broken bread and poured out wine for our brothers and sisters is still a Biblical mandate for authentic believers. There is freedom IN OBEDIENCE, not in rebellion. Rebellion is slavery.
7. Obedience to The Law of Love is one of the strictest obedience walks there is.
8. It is also one of the free-est. It is certainly the most joyous and rewarding.
1. The Bible claims all men are without virtue unless virtue is inscribed by the Spirit of Christ. Is forced virtue really virtue?
It’s really Christianity 101: The New Testament teaches that even biblical law doesn’t create righteousness; only Christ can. If biblical law cannot create righteousness, how much more powerless is civil law to create it?The Liberals are playing "virtue" politics as well. Is it better to fight over virtue politics or allow maximal freedom where Christians can practice true virtue in smaller communities?
