    Not under law: Not under its condemnation or its commands?

    Hello! Various passages of Scripture suggest we're not under the law, which I understand to be the law of Moses. Do these passages suggest that its commands are no longer binding on us today? Acts of the Apostles 15 seems to be about circumcision and keeping the law of Moses in general (Acts of...

    Waukesha Should there be equal justice for all?

    I have a problem with the $1000 bail of the career criminal suspect in Waukesha when compared with protesters at the Capitol who committed no acts of violence and get solitary confinement with no bail--and harsh sentences if they plead guilty despite no prior criminal record. I believe that...

    Hi there, So there is a painfully obvious point to make, in the manner that James spoke of about showing his faith by his works (from memory, James): In other words, we do not get to Heaven by works, but that does not change the fact that the faith (at least for the faith of its own sake) will...

    By the Flesh or By the Spirit?

    Perfected by the Flesh? Galatians 3:1-3 “O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified.
