It’s not prerejected and I don’t see how it fits at all. Either Gods word is infallible or it isn’t. Which do you believe to be true?

Are you saying God was evil and Saul correct?

Seriously I am not following you here at all. It cannot be both ways. God ‘is’. He is God. He sets the rules. We follow them or not.Saul did not. So how on earth does that fit the original idea? At all?

Norm, you have smuggled in an assumption (hat tip to C S Lewis) that to permit evil is to endorse it.

That would be an unbridgeable conundrum were it not the sacrifice of the Cross.

An entire LIFETIME will be spent progressively turning away from more and more evil, with a point of perfection NEVER reached until the transition into heaven has completed.

Sometimes the state in which the power of faith may be first seen can be rather raunchy. Look at Rahab the Harlot (she is in Jesus’ earthly family tree). Did she get asked or told to quit being a harlot? Nope. She only was asked to discreetly mark a dwelling and to keep a secret. Which she did, and she got praise for it. See the book of Hebrews.

It is the right of Christ to bear whatever sins He chooses. Trying to be more finicky than Him is always, always, always an attempt to be righteous in our own power — it will not work!

Everybody already knows all that Norm. Your post was pointless. You weren’t interested in a discussion. Forget about it.
