Bible Note: Dear bubbatate, You wrote, "With all due respect, get your scissors, I personally prefer a single edged razor blade, and remove Heb 10:26 and 29 from your Bible…..it’s pure bunk." So now, if we don't like a certain passage, we can just cut and paste the Holy and Inspired Word of God? How absolutely Mormon!! Considering your false assumption that there are some sins the Blood of Jesus does not cover, I would have to ask you about the thief whom Jesus told they would be in Paradise. You don't think that when the Bible refers to him as a "thief", he got busted for breaking and entering, do you? From all historical references, this was a man who killed, raped, plundered, and did all sorts of wickedness. Also, what did Jesus ask of the Father when they nailed Him to the cross? "Forgive them Father, they know not what they do." Now, let's look at this request, shall we? The Romans who were driving the nails(and the Jews who demanded it), were all, in light of Matthew 5 and Exodus 20, guilty of murder. But Jesus said what?? "Forgive them" The woman caught in the act of adultery. What does Jesus say in John 8:11? "Neither do I condemn you." Now keep in mind, Jesus is God. Therefore, God did not condemn the woman. Matthew 12:5--"Or have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and are innocent?" Does this mean we have to stone our pastor if he preaches on Sunday? I could go on, and I may at a later date. I will leave you with I John 4:10--"Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins." Notice, it does not say "some of our sins". He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |
