Bible Note: azurelaw, you are right, I stand corrected. Curses was a bad word choice. Sorry, just a sinner saved by grace here. Being new to these forums, I was expecting a more positive spirit. It seems to me that as ambassadors for Christ we would spend our energies trying to reconcile scriptural truth in order to build each other up in the faith. This contradicting of one scripture with another is quite distasteful to me and I will not indulge in it. The seeming contradictions are because of our imperfect understanding, lets put off pride and see if we can come to terms with some of it for the glory of God. I do not think he is glorified in pitting one scripture against another. How can we expect to unify a world in Christ if we ourselves can not unify under one faith? I am not looking for an argument here but unity in the truth. Can't we as reasonable adults express our thoughts to each other without condemnation? Sincere or not, that was no way for a Christian to behave toward another believer or even toward a pagan for that matter. Somewhere I remember someone saying "Love your neighbor and love your enemy" To God be the glory, Amen. |
