The law never made anyone righteous. So what does "under the law" mean? I'd really like to know. .

Well, I thought you were tired of that. At least you've got inane ad hominem to fall back on. "Apparently some folk..." Yuk, yuk. .

Well, as long are we're being sufficiently amused. But I must confess the laugh smilies and LOLs don't do very much to clear things up. What does "under the law" mean? .

It kinda seems like the Scripture you've quoted here just goes a long way toward answering none of @Brakelite's questions. .

That's quite a straw man you've erected there. People generally don't bother knocking them down, I've found. :My2c: .

Honestly, sometimes it's like you don't even read the posts you're replying to. Or do you really not know what "that last part" means? Come on, BB. I think you're better than what you seem to be portraying. .

Good stuff, Dave. You really hit it outta the park sometimes. Love you, Brother. .

I cut up a member named TinMan pretty good a while back. He(I think?) was extremely militant about LGBT advocacy. He's gone now. I'm not sure I was able to help him. He even had a username that was LGBT-themed. There was a lot of suspicion raised that he was a trained infiltrator. He showed no...

I, myself, seldom recommend teachers. People tend to follow them instead of Jesus. I presume you're not of that ilk. .

What I don't want to do is wound any person's ability to be encouraged to reach out for the hem of the Saviour's garment, lest they suffer loss from receiving not the virtue that even today goes out from Him. Do you see a contrast at all between the way lepers were handled in the ancient Hebrew...

And I think the key here is conspicuous absence. I normally get skittish around arguments from silence but that's because the only ones I usually encounter are being used to refute something that's been made very plain in Scripture. And in this case, the opposite is true. Your argument from...

What had happened was... .

SS, I've never been so fond of a hopeless deconstructionist as I am with you. How do you do it? Maybe it's the music thing. :cool: Say, I saw a great YouTube video the other day about John Lennon's guitar genius(o_O). (I'll send you a link when the Sabbath is over. ;) ) Well, we can't very...

Have you ever tried making it? .

It was considered unlawful work by the impotent authority of religious fanatics who believed that oral tradition superseded the Word of God. Please demonstrate from "the law of Moses" where healing was specified as unlawful work when done on the Sabbath. Tinged with a little more vacuous ad...

You gave it to me once, remember? I never got around to trying to make it. I'm so lazy!:Bubbles: .

Would you consider that an authoritative commission of the Catholic "Ministry Of Reconciliation" doctrine or, at least, part of one? Just curious. .

Just a little gesture of nostalgia, Sis. ;) .

We just don't agree on this, Arthur, and you probably already know that so I'll spare you the details. :) This is probably the most important thing (to me) for me to respond to. I think Jesus was trying to express, most likely entirely in hyperbole, that folks should go the extra, extra mile...

I so thought I was gonna be able to give this post a :hearteyes: until that last remark. Can't you be nice, Big Boy? Would it kill ya? .
