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

things I have written on Dostoevsky,
to what seems general approbation; then, for some reason or other, I
happen to remark that, considered purely as an artist, Dostoevsky is immeasurably inferior
to Tolstoy; at this, a single pained gasp of incredulity breaks out somewhat
