Bible Note: Dear Kamschoolgrad, You've got it pretty right on. I, too, have many disconcerting questions about things that we are supposed to do (or not do) but for one reason or another we don't or cannot. These, I just have to put down to Deut. 29:29 and figure we'll get the answers we need soon enough. Doesn't that sound like a horrible cop-out? But after much prayer and advice-seeking from pastors and rabbis that's the best I can do. And the best I can say is - observe to do what God commands in His glorious Torah to the best of your ability (and of what the law of your land allows you to observe and do) - and that is ALL that you can do with a good conscience. And, remember, that thru Messiah's finished work on the cross, we are not BOUND to or UNDER the curse of not observing all the Law, but we are FREE to receive the blessings of observing the commands of the Lord. Hallelujah!! Praise God for His Mercies endure forever. Amen? Amen!!! Sorry I couldn't be of MORE help. Cheri |
