Subject: What unmarried sexual acts are sinful? |
Bible Note: I have lightly pondered the phrase, "doctrine first." I am afraid that too often the precepts of men are our doctrine rather than the person and Word of our Lord. Truth is truth and we must not compromise the truth, but the law is not the truth but a tutor to lead us to the Truth. Thus, David ate the showbread, Ruth (an illegal foreign bride of a Hebrew man) became a member of the lineage of Christ, and an adulterer was let go without condemnation (but an opportunity to turn from her sin which was still sin). I do not tolerate a compromise of the truth, but our Lord is Truth. Therefore, Christ first. Obedience always. Grace in all things. And follow the current and real guidance of our still speaking Lord. |
