JA, My responses are in blue. j a <ja_777_aj@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Allen, your replies may be too long, but on the other hand I agree with you. Attributing some books of the bible to "the evil one" is a new and extreme position to take and needs alot of evidence to even begin to discuss such a claim. In terms of the Law, God's morality for us never ceases or changes, but the agreement between God and the Jews is over, Christians are his new chosen people (not to say that god has no futher plans for the jews). You could not be more wrong: (Jer 31:37 KJV) Thus saith YeHVaH; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith YeHVaH. As for authority, all is given to Jesus and he is the head of his church, which happens to include all believers. There is no institution of men that holds this place of authority. The eyes and heart should be focused on Jesus and not on earhtly things, like any particular church. If you still have my posting to Allen, which listed a number of questions that Allen has refused to answer, then please submit your own answers to those questions.
