so when Jesus said to Peter, whoever you forgive will be forgiven and whoever you do not forgive they will not be forgiven. What did he have in mind there? And who's sins were forgiven....the whole world or just a select group?

so what was it that was finished at the cross?

I have tried for the life of me to understand your answer as if I was missing something. My conclusion is that you are doing nothing more than sidestepping and avoiding while attempting to appear pious.

I might ask, what was it that was finished at the cross? It's possible to apply that statement to any number of conclusions. I know it definitely doesn't mean cleaning ones teeth or the need to stop at red traffic lights!

Say what you mean and mean what you say. That principle practised will make you stand out like a pimple on a ducks tail.

...and when he comes he will testify of me... Jesus. In other words, he won't testify to himself. The role of the Spirit is to glorify Jesus and those imbued with his Spirit are identified by this. The Spirit never draws attention to himself. Don't you find that interesting?

Inconvenience puts people at a decided disadvantage when it comes to dealing with men/carnal nature....isn't it the thing so many products are based around? Why keep a law or laws that put a spanner in the works?

I have wondered about this. I think that in Jesus case there was some resonant cord in those whores/publicans which they responded to. Without that resonant cord its as much a dogs breakfast as in a recalcitrant church.
