Sentences with phrase «rise of the gnats»
Not exact matches
Pastor, I'm just wondering if you yourself follow ALL the rest of this portion of the Law ie vs 19 or vs 27 regarding cutting the hair at the side of your head, or vs 32 regarding «rising in the presence of elders» or... vs 30 regarding observing the Sabbath — especially after what Our Lord Jesus did in Matt 12 and what He taught in Matt 5 - 7?!? I would suggest that you «do not choke at gnats and swallow camels», and that you prayerfully read what the apostle Paul wrote in 1 Cor 9: 3, 19 - 23 esp vs22 - 23.

After all, if we «swallow the camel» by not challenging the notion that unplanned natural forces gave rise to all living things, starting from nothing but nonliving chemicals, and «strain out the gnat» of man's consciousness as the sole exception to an otherwise completely natural explanation, are we not allowing religious beliefs to interfere with scientific explanation?
