    Be Perfect As Your Heavenly Father Is Perfect.

    I agree with everything except the fourth paragraph ( "... but that did not in any way affect the preaching of the Gospel, which is justification by grace through faith") The rich young ruler asked Jesus: "what shall I do so that I may inherit eternal life?” Jesus said "keep the commandments"...

    Be Perfect As Your Heavenly Father Is Perfect.

    What you say here is very important! (This is where Grace comes into the picture. By faith in Christ, who is perfect, when the Father sees the believer in Christ by faith he sees perfection). But I think we must focus on the subject of DISPENSATION. Jesus, while on Earth, preached the old...

    Be Perfect As Your Heavenly Father Is Perfect.

    Until a few years ago I would agree with you, but now I believe that Jesus really commanded His disciples to be PERFECT, not AS PERFECT AS POSSIBLE. A leader must be clear about his commands, so why would Jesus say BE PERFECT if could have said BE AS PERFECT AS POSSIBLE? So why, then, did Jesus...

    Thanks! And this picture confirms what my neurologist said to me: "you're doing OK now!" This woman -- touching heads with me -- suffered a lot because she had to bear all the burden. Then she had Covid and my son, who is wheel-chair dependent, drove her to the hospital where she stayed 15...
