I have to come to the conclusion that God's forgiveness and Grace can overcome any obstacles.
Even murder. Even lies. Even stealing.. etc..
And I already know this. I have no issues with God's grace and mercy.
I see it when they are going to stone a woman for adultery according to the law,
and yet Jesus with his grace and mercy tells the woman, go and sin no more.
He does not say my grace is sufficient don't worry about adultery.. i got your back.
That's what I'm hearing in this forum and that's what's making me look real hard into where these thoughts are coming from.
People make mistakes, God forgives us, He is merciful and gracious.
Man on the other hand has no mercy.. just stone her. They left out the mercy, not God.
Doesn't mean you can keep on doing whatever and blame it on the flesh.
You actually have to take responsibility for your actions.
GRRRR...
There is a LAW that says thou shalt not commit adultery.
I hear people saying.. there is no law..
What the ^&*! are you talking about????
We do not live by lawlessness.
Paul is in a tough situation. The whole country is under Roman rule.
They don't like the Jews..
Paul is on his rounds gathering up the very people that hate the Jews.
They're not going to convert if it means they have to get circumcised.
But that was a covenant with Abraham not Moses.
And even though we know it is spiritual.. even so we still have circumcision today.
We still have Baptism today.
We still celebrate holidays today.
But keep the law??
Hell no.. we don't want that.
Here's the bottom line..
If God can forgive Paul, he can forgive Cain.
Because God is no respecter of persons.
Paul likes to preach to you on one hand what you shouldn't do, while doing the same thing on his other.
That's called hypocricy.
Frankly, I don't like Paul.. He makes me suspicious.
And in the time and climate of that day.. considering the overbearing of Rome on the church.
He came in slaughtering and scattering the sheep.
So don't blame me for calling him a raven wolf, It's exactly what he did.
Did he see what he says he saw, or did he say it to find out where they were?
Did he finally become converted? Maybe.
Did he set up Peter and make him look bad in front of his own disciples?
Sure did. He could have pulled him aside and discussed it but oh no.. he had to make a spectacle of himself.
And then preach about being humble...
And seeing what I see coming down our horizon... I have to wonder..
where did the church that Jesus start, go wrong?
In the same place it all began.. under the control of Romans
