From Martin Luther:

“Since the downfall of Popery, and the cessation of excommunication and spiritual penalties, the people have learned to despise the word of God. They no longer care for churches, they have ceased to fear and honor God. After throwing out the yoke of the Pope, everyone wishes to live as he pleases.”

“If the world lasts, it will be necessary, on account of the differing interpretations of Scripture which now exist, that to preserve the unity of faith, we should receive the Catholic councils and decrees and fly to them for refuge.”

You go ahead and fly to a man. I'll lead my friends and relatives to Christ. He lifted the veil so that I need no man to be link to God.

The Catholic church became the gentile version of the Jewish religion with the Pope being the High Priest. Christ is the High Priest as Paul stated, not the Pope.

Fornication front or back door is fornication and not a good idea even society teaches that as does the Bible as it calls it sin and in no way condones it. One is free to engage in the activity but should not expect others to approve of it or condone it as well. Choices always have consequences and folks just hate the consequences I guess.

What the Bible speaks to me is that Jesus fulfilled all the law and prophets. As for the 10 commandments they are all lifted to a much higher level in the New Testament but for one.Example..Love your neighbor as yourself... The one about the sabboth day is not in the New Testament. It is now the first day of the week.
God never changes and neither does His holiness.
I enjoyed your post very much. I still believe that God is Holy and Just. The two don’t seperate. It is still His way, no matter what we think we get away with.
