“Jesus points out the importance in not giving to the written word of God more time than it deserves, in relation to the Word made flesh (John 5:39-40).”
Dave,
Good point. It generally seems that they are more interested in rule/role keeping and have entirely missed a relationship with Christ. Clearly, Hebrews 11 tells us the faith relationship with God is what it has always been about – it never was and still is not about keeping rules or roles. “By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace. And what more shall I say?”
