I forget very little, and <i>you</i> have forgotten the duty of courtesy toward someone whose free-to-all-readers website you've read, whose time and server space you're consuming, and who might be having a very trying day!<br /><br />"To replace" does not necessarily mean "to replace with something 100% different." Didn't that occur to you?<br /><br />Have a nice Easter.Francis W.

Deut 6:5 and Lev 19:18, to be specific. Which are each part of that OT law you think was done away with. Right there in the very heart of the key books of it, no less.<br />FriarBobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-86749887595697173972015-04-05T10:42:23.021-04:002015-04-05T10:42:23.021-04:00"They fail to ask the critical question, whic..."They fail to ask the critical question, which, as it so often proves to be, consists of a single word: Why?"<br /><br />That most certainly is at the core. It is the one question humanity can't answer, because only the God of creation knows. That's what Abraham figured out -- the one God above all others is the God of "doing the right thing", and the only way He can know what the right thing is, would be to know why the creation exists in the first place. Without understanding purpose, one can't judge what is or isn't good. So we must turn to Him for guidance or be lost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
