If I didn't look at it, I wouldn't have said I looked at it.

The Word wasn't a "person".

Yes, the Word did; when He took on flesh and was born of a woman He became Jesus. Jesus is the Word, but by taking on flesh and lowering Himself to taste death for all men, He put aside some of His former glory. He will eventually be one with God the Father again, like He was before boing born...

It is written..."In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1) The Word became Jesus when He took on flesh. Jesus was the Word in the time He refers to.

Jesus did practice what He preached. He righteously judged the Pharisees by their dress. Something He saw.

The difference is... "righteous" judgement.

Of course not. Better look again. Jesus wasn't even Jesus until He was born of a woman, and the context of John 7 shows He is only using circumcision to teach the Pharisaic a lesson. So much for mid Acts dispensationalism. OK, and I will use Paul's words in Rom 7:4..."Wherefore, my brethren...

That I hope he wasn't lying ? Of course not. I rejoice with all that get to take part in the de-mystification of the promised inclusion of Gentiles into the kingdom of God. The promise was there for a long, long, time. Jesus provided Paul with its de-mystification. Agreed, though sort of a...

They pertain to all men. Is murder not a sin to you ? Thievery ? Adultery ? Drunkenness ? Paul wrote..."But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law." 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry...

How do you ?

What you are saying is irrelavent.

I'm not going through any red light either. I'm not going through any red light either.

Care to elaborate ? Where did Jesus command anyone to get circumcised ? Or obey dietary rules ? As Paul saw the end of the Law so too should have James and the other eleven. Those "believing Pharisees" got their "blinded eyes" opened at the council. The Mosaic Law and customs had been undone...

Not really, as the apostles had seen Jesus break the letter of the Law, but had not seen His sufferieng and death. I thought we were talking about holloween ? Celebrating dead folks...for some reason. Agreed, as there is no "sense" outside of Christ. Sorry, but I can't make any connection...

I hope not ! I rejoice with all that get to take part in the de-mystification of the promised inclusion of Gentiles into the kingdom of God. How do you see my "position" ? What error have I made...exactly ? Jesus is warning all men to be sure of the facts before jumping to conclusions. Paul...

No. I stop at the red lights I encounter...and I hope you do too. I don't fail to stop at red lights. ??? There is nothing to, as you say, justify. ???

Thank God that I can obey His two commandments. Thanks be to God for the gift of rebirth from His seed.

I am not driving now.

I am stopped, in your scenario. Isn't that: loving my neighbors ?

Yes He did, but abbreviated to two...love God with all your might, and love your neighbor as you love yourself. Why would they, if they loved Jesus and His Father ? Just as sheep follow their shepherd . I never have been, thanks be to God .
