So a “man-made hymn” is an abomination, but a man-made covenant is just the ticket. And it’s an abomination to obey God by using musical instruments in worship. A day to give thanks to God is a terrible thing, as was the Great Awakening. Sixteen 43, your ideas deserve the deep 6, so 23 skidoo kiddo.
If a Hebrew waxed poor and had to sell himself into bondservice, his near kinsman could redeem him, or, if he somehow came into a windfall, he could redeem himself from servitude with literal silver and gold. The apostle is making it clear that this is a whole different level of redemption that requires the payment of a much higher price, the price of divine blood. A bondsman may be a pretty good fellow or an absolute rogue, so his righteousness is not the issue. His access to riches is the issue, and the blood of Christ is infinitely more valuable than all the physical wealth of the universe.
Not if the libs have their way, MO2C. They would only let you keep a one-shot muzzleloader that fires foam rubber bullets. Under lock and key, with Big Brother holding the key.
Youth in Asia wrote: So what do the recent voting results mean for America? I have yet to hear an opinion. YIA, you must understand that in recent years, the United States Congress has taken on a new and mysterious role. The only thing they get done is to keep anything from getting done. All power now rests in the President and the Supreme Court. I predict that the next Democratic President will abolish the Supreme Court and declare himself or herself dictator. Moderator, would you please delete Jim’s latest racist rant below?
Once we tighten up our gun control laws, every criminal will report to the nearest police station and turn in all of his firearms and ammunition—just as abortions will cease the moment we enact universal healthcare.
A person who walks into a school and kills ten people is known as a mass murderer. A person who wears a black robe and a jabot and is responsible for the murder of millions of children before they are old enough to go to school is known as “Justice.”
Fascist brownshirts who call themselves “anti-fascist” are comparable to a large organization representing the Antichrist and calling itself “Christian” and a “church.”
Corruptible=temporal. Ye were not redeemed with [temporal] things, [such] as silver and gold, but with the [eternal] blood of Christ. I must be missing something; I don’t understand what is hard to understand about this.
