Bible Note: kalos, Good answer! The Church for some unknown reason has has elected to turn it's back on G*ds commandments. I don't know if it's because anti-Jewish theology crept in to the doctrine of the early church or what, but the result is disturbing to say the least. I have read several surveys that show that divorce, alcohol abuse, and other transgressions of G*ds commands are higher in the Church of all places, than in the world! Is it possible that we have gone overboard with the "Grace" doctrine ? (I believe in Grace) So many people say they love G*d, but refuse to obey him, go figure. |
