Subject: What is the Church's responsibility? |
Bible Note: That sounds like a political question. (I was legally disabled too, but now I am partially sighted due to some wonderful technology.) I would posit that if believers actually cared for one another, it would be a testimony to our love (John 13:35). Let the reprobate do what they will. Let us follow the calling of the Lord (2 Corinthians 6:17). John Calvin wrote that the ability to fail was an important right of every human being. The threat of failure, pain, or hunger is a great deterrent to foolishness, incontenance, or slothfulness. This was one of the notions that contributed to the extraordinary philosophies coming out of Edinburough, Scotland that helped build our nation. Boy I can sure sound smug and high-handed, huh? That's not my intent. I guess I get a little pugnacious when I post while listening to the liberal news media! |
