Mageth

You are right in that it does sound meaningless to you. Scripture has already told us that much....natural man vs spiritual man.

One more thing for you to explain - what is "spiritual man"? As far as I can tell, we're all natural men and women.

But you are wrong that _I_ don't understand what _I_ said.

If you understand it, then you should be able to explain it. Please do.

Mageth

Sabine:

No not at all Mageth.....no need to go to those extremes. Did he stone or encourage the stoning of the adultress or did he prevent it? please give me your analysis of why he would have broken that ancestral law by preventing it to be applied.

The scriptures appear quite contradictory on this issue. I have no idea why Jesus in one point says "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven," but in other places appears to break those commandments, and to teach men (and women) to do so.

Please explain the contradiction if you can.
