Bible Note: My brother, Very well laid out. I like to start with Mark 16:15,16 and work forward from there when explaining this to people. This is a simple and yet very, very vital part of being a disciple of Jesus Christ. We try to oversimplify it, we let sentimentality or religion cloud our judgement. It only causes division and misunderstanding. We don't get to choose what it says or doesn't. What we get to choose is to obey or don't. Thanx again bro, lionheart |
