Bible Note: Hi, Ed; You're right, of course; it was only an imperfect analogy, not an equivalence. Two minor points - God's advice is not always found in the Bible and I think he likes to see us make correct choices using "the mind of Christ" he has given us. Jesus taught his disciples then sent them out, expecting them to do the job without running back to consult him every time they had to choose. They sometimes failed, of course, but they learned and grew spiritually. Grace allows us to continually exercise our renewed minds. Christian maturity is, in part, the ability to know God's will without asking. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
