[Greg D]

I see all people as equal Apprentice. Just as I have explained Gods nature is. If he gave himself as a sacrifice to free mankind, it was not to introduce them to a death wearing cultish pretence. An eye for an eye is the old testament principle of judgement. *[[Eze 33:17]] KJV* Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal. *[[Eze 33:18]] KJV* When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby. *[[Eze 33:19]] KJV* But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
It sounds like that is the road you wish to follow, the new testament, by the Holy Spirit is one of free grace. You told me before my road to enlightenment is by studing more. What hope is there for simple or brain damaged people to find truth. With the Holy Spirit experience they have their redemption and healing and understanding in.some case's. Jesus said come to me as a little child, in other words with the trust of a small child. This whole principle is about his strength and righteousness not ours. *[[Mat 9:12]] KJV* But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
*[[Mat 9:13]] KJV* But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. This is talking about the self righteous, when I made my peace with God I knew what side of the fence I was on. I don't like your chances with your fight with God.
