Bible Note: Hi Doc, I just love you educated folks! :-) All I could come up with was "it just don't work." WOS said it plainly, I think, in that God will sometimes give the outcome He wants in spite of our sin. We lack faith, or simply the determination to follow His Word, and take the easy way out. I couldn't agree with you more than I do: "There's a big problem in the major term 'certain sins are required for right outcomes.'" No matter how many wrongs you try to pile up, you won't make one right. Thankfully, God will always do right! God bless you brother! Love in Christ, Mark |
