Subject: What did Jesus mean, "obey My commands?" |
Bible Note: I think MacArthur is correct, but I just don't think that most Evangelical Christians (of which I am one) actually walk it. When the discussion gets down to the specifics, there is so much rationalizing and qualifiers as to WHY we don't have to obey THAT command. Even MacArthur (I hope I am not confusing him with another guy) on his churches web site gives these reasons for some of the commands, none of which I agree with. If Jesus said to obey all the commands, even the little ones, then why don’t we? MJH |
