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
Jeremy have been asking the holy spirit
for his help with this and
in regards to the lame man that Jesus healed I do nt believe that sin was the issue
for him just like the blind man was it his parents or did he sin the answer was neither but so that God would be glorified.What was the sin that may have been worse
for him.The two
situations are related of the
woman caught
in adultery the key words being go and sin no more only two references
in the bible and will explain later the lame man we see at first his dependency on everyone else
for his needs he cant do it he is
in the best position to receive Gods grace but what does he do with it.Does he follow Jesus no we are told he goes to the temple and Jesus finds him now that he has his strength to do things on his own what his response to follow the way of the pharisees that is what is worse than his condition before so he is warned by go and sin no more.We get confused because we see the word sin but the giver of is speaking to him to go another way means death.Getting back to the two
situations of the
woman caught
in adultery and the lame man here we see a picture of our hearts on the one our love
for sin and on the other the desire to work out our salvation on our terms they are the two areas we have to submit to God.My experience was the self righteousness was the harder to deal with because it is linked
in to our feelings of self worth and self confidence so we have to be broken so we are humble enough to realise that without God we can do nothing our flesh hates that so it is a struggle at first to change our way of thinking.brentnz

women looked to scripture to justify their changing
