Bible Note: Brad, My friend, I understand why what I say disturbs the people here. As you request, I will not try to proof text, etc. However, let me ask you to consider something. When Jesus walked among us 2000 years ago, did He line up with the Orthodoxy? You see Brad, He appeared to go against law and the traditions. He tells them that "you have been told..., but I tell you ...". He breaks the commandments and works on the Sabbath and then basically says that He is more important that those rules. The Orthodoxy taught that He would come to rule the world and establish a throne. Well they misunderstood that. The Scripture clearly teaches that, but He didn't set up any kingdom that they were looking for. He set up the Kingdom of God within our hearts. The point is this. Would we have spent our time correcting Jesus and telling Him to line up with the Orthodoxy or would we have recognized Him for who He was? If the Pharisees could have been so wrong, why is it not possible that we have veered way off course as well? Nick |
