Janet i think what you have said is quite insightful and you are right and there is another meaning to Go and sin no more and that speaks to me of repentence making a decision to Follow
Christ the one who saves.The words Go and sin no more is referring to a continual ongoinging process of living
for Christ rather than
dying in our sins daily there is no comparison.I thought that was awesome pointing the law back to all of us
for we all have sinned and the judgement is death but Jesus came that we might have life in its fullness.Many
people only see the adulterer when she portrays who we are as sinners that he came to save all of us sin is sin and the punishment is death so again you are quite right
people use the scriptures to judge and that was never Jesus intention.I hope that helps when someone uses that scripture incorrectly and you can you use it like Jesus did to point it back at those who judge i hope that helps.brentnz

for this clip, becuase
for so long I have been feeling like todays churches in not like the first churches.They are stuck into their four cornered walls preaching to those who already obtain the word and
people who already think they are perfect, but what about the weak and the sinners who we are suppose to love, go after, preach to, help and deliver the same way as
Christ camed
for the sinners so do we also be like him.Jefferson basically telling all us young
people and old no matter who have suffered in the world, the church, or no matter what party or the past that there is hope and «God wants that

for people and seen healing they had commanded evil spirit to come out of
people so they were aware of the power of God.Yet they were in fear of there lives faithless and afriad.Paul on his way to rome was caught in a storm and through an angel paul was told many would
die Paul interceeded
for the crew and lives on board and God promised that all would be spared.Paul had warned them before the voyage that it would end in disaster but they did not listen.Satan wasnt happy with that plan because he had hoped to kill as many
people as possible there was over 300 souls on board and many had been expected to
die.So satan attempted to kill Paul and he was bitten by a snake but satan is no match
for Jesus
Christ he has been defeated and so Paul lived and continued to preach the gospel was many being saved.brentnz
Gil you have asked some very good questions why does bad things happen in the world i personally do nt know God did nt explain to Job either why he had to suffer.What i do know is that God desires that none of us should perish but that all would have eternal life in him through Jesus
Christ.This world will one day pass away and the real world will be reborn so our focus as christians is on whats to come and being a witness in the here and now.Both good and bad happens to either the righteous or the sinner so what are we to make of that.What we do know is that God will set all things right at the appointed time the wicked will be judged and the righteous will be rewarded
for there faith isnt that enough reason
for us to believe.Free will is only a reality if we can choose between good and bad but our hearts are deceitfully wicked we naturally are inclined toward sin that is another reason whyt we need to be saved from ourselves so what are we to do.
For me
Christ died and rose again that is a fact witnessed by over 500
people that were alive at the time and was recorded by historians how many other religious leaders do you know that did that or did the miracles that Jesus did.As far as the bible is concerned much of the archelogical evidence has proven to be correct and many of prophetic words spoken many hundreds of years ago have come to pass including both the birth and the death of Jesus.Interested in what philosophy you are believing in if other than a faith in Jesus
Christ so how does that philosophy give you the assurance that you are saved.Its really simple with christianity we just have to believe in Jesus
Christ.brentnz
Gil there is no confusion in the book of john 1 -14 In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word became flesh and dwelt among us.Here is God incarnated in the flesh.Did God
die as you say God cant
die but Jesus
Christ died a man just like us yet he also was God in the flesh.Its hard
for us to comprehend that.But to be the perfect sacrifice he had to the same as us in the flesh though without sin.As God his sacrifice benefited all mankind there was forgiveness
for all through Jesus.I do nt have any problem with that concept.The same is true that God is three distinct
persons in one but separate it is hard to comprehend but with God nothing is impossible.brentnz
