Jeremy i am surprised you never countered my argument Up till now the above view has been my understanding however things change when the holy spirit speaks.He amazes me because its always new never old and it reveals why we often misunderstand scripture in the case of the woman caught in adultery.We see how she was condemned to
die and by the grace of God
Jesus came to her rescue that seems familar to all of us then when they were alone he said to her Go and sin no more.This is the point we misunderstand prior to there meeting it was all about her death when she encountered
Jesus something incredible happened he turned a death situation into life situation so from our background as
sinners we still in our thinking and understanding dwell in the darkness our minds are closed to the truth.In effect what
Jesus was saying to her and us is chose life and do nt look back that is what he meant and that is the walk we need to live
for him.That to me was a revelation it was always there but hidden.Does it change that we need discipline in the church that we need rules and guidelines
for our actions no we still need those things.But does it change how we view non believers and even ourselves definitely its not about sin but its all about choosing life and living.He also revealed some other interesting things on salvation so i might mention those on the once saved always saved discussion.Jeremy just want to say i really appreciate your website because i have not really discussed issues like this and it really is making me press in to the Lord
for answers to some of those really difficult questions.regards brentnz
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

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
