@BrianZahnd You’d think that a group that loves the rules so much, they’d of quit with the false idols by now, but here we are with jesus v.19.6 complete with M16, trump hair piece, 12 politicians in tow, plodding through martyrs blood, preaching“tithes” & singing onward Christian soldier
@Montyql @ArbiterArbys I actually don’t quite understand what is being said.. is he saying that the use of Law/Gospel distinction (distinctives?) to deny others access to the benefits of the Gospel is wrong?

BUT ONLY CLOSER, they are by no means “there yet”, and neither are we. So, lean in, when the world (or at least your world) seems to be
