Elder Ayars I appreciate your explanation but I feel that making a total separation between the righteousness of God and the law in out attempt to explain how...
Brother Papu -- You just reinforced my point. Â What the law could not do, Jesus did. Â This is why the "righteousness of God" is radically separate from the...
Khaya -- The word "law" is used two different ways in this same verse. Â On the one side is "law" as moral principle, the violation of which results in death....

Hi PK Â Jesus says he has given us "an example". Is it okay then to come up with practices which are more relevant to our modern-day society? I doubt if foot...
