@gregorrobertson So you're going to help the housing problem by rewarding developers who created housing that people don't want? They're rewarded for creating housing that's not at all useful, and now instead of the prices going down the developers get a free pass.
I have participated in mediation with some of these parties. I am deeply grieved at the actions of Fellowship Prairies. The churches that have been voted out (how is this possible?) were fully committed to the doctrinal terms of the Fellowship, and were very patient in calling the Fellowship to ethical consistency. Very sad day in the West.
'The moral law requires obedience, but gives no strength (as Pharaoh required brick, but gave no straw), but the gospel gives strength; it bestows faith on the elect; it sweetens the law; it makes us serve God with delight.' - Thomas Watson @sharingtheology
@michaeljknowles On the other hand it appears early in Church history, even the 4th century as an exampe, "By faith alone one is freely forgiven of all sins and the believer is no longer burdened by the Law for meriting good works..." - Ambrosiaster
