Subject: Church is kidnapped to Sodom! |
Bible Note: No, actually, I don't think you sound harsh at all. I too believe action must be taken. I just don't want to throw the baby out with the bath water. And yes, I know that Jesus could be harsh. "oh you hyprocrits" what??? 9 or 10 times in one chapter? And tossing the money changers out. And dead bones was probably a pretty deadly insult, but my relationship with Jesus is personal. I can't step out of the box of unconditional love that He fills me and surrounds me with in my fellowship with Him through the Holy Spirit. Paul, until this morning, was someone I had read about it, but had never communicated with on any personal level, so that would be why I could say he was more harsh. I hated this forum yesterday, but today is another day. I am really loving the places it is leading me and the way it is driving me to clarify in my own mind so many things. God bless you, and thank you for caring Melanie |
