Bible Note: Steve No, Steve I said that Jesus pointed out that the Pharisees would break a law to save a life, not that Jesus would or did! By the way I am not as Cheri pointed out so nicely teaching anything, I am setting forth a view without pushing it on anyone of how to resolve a Biblical difficulty to a life problem, which is not teaching at all, it is studying. I do believe you are hitting around to the point here Steve, you say here in your post what Jesus was demonstrating was that doing right on the Sabbath is not actually breaking the law, although on a technicality it most certainly is. That is why I was so wrongly adding to all my posts, according to you, just a worthless son, to make it known that I do not have all the answers because someone who will remain nameless accused me of thinking I had all the answers. A while badk Tumbleweed tried to point that out to you. It still seems to be a problem for some when anyone in here sets forth what they believe to be true using scripture to support it. Just because a person sets forth reasons and scriptures why they think something is true does not make them a teacher or mean they are trying to teach. Doc is a bona fide teacher, and there are pastors in here too, as well as us lay folk. We are all entitled to our own view based on scriputure of what things are. I happily agree to disagree with you without saying to you that you wrongly interpet anything. You however, continue to feel free to express yourself concerning your true take on what I post because that is your right. I tried to say before and will say again, the problem with saying God does not allow sin in His plan is that there is such a thing as Secondary Causes of Causes, which concept Doc laid out in detail. Might I suggest you use the search feature to try to understand how God does not condone sin, but does allow it as part of His plan. I did not come up with all of this on my own, and as well there are others here who agree with me about this because they searched the scriptures and not because "I taught them anything". On a technicality lying is always wrong, but when it is done to save a life it is no longer wrong, but right in the same way "breaking the Sabbath law" to save a life is no longer wrong, but right. :-) blessings abound, bowler |
