I was reading in another blog someone mentioned all kinds of "laws" about eating shrimp and stoning people out of the Old Testament in Leviticus I believe. What people need to understand is that we are no longer under the law, in the old testament the priests had to go into the temple every year to sacrifice and slaughter a lamb as atonement for the people sins. That is how awesome God's plan is, we no longer have to offer sacrifices or live under the levitical laws because God himself provided the sacrifice once and for all. His name is Jesus. So when people say what about this law or that law trying to build a case against Christians, they are using something that isn't even relevant anymore. We live in New Testament times now, and it is only by God's grace that the world is being given the time to accept the sacrifice God has provided for sinful man. Thank God for Jesus.
I want proof.
That is what my husband says at the end of every conversation we have about the Lord. Being saved and married to an unsaved person is difficult, but not impossible. I am trusting the Lord for his salvation in His time not mine, and in the meantime I have to trust God to work out things about myself that are not in line with scripture. Unconditional love is not humanly possible. You want to love unconditionally, but really it is only through the power of the Holy Spirit that it is even remotely possible. I constantly get in the way if I try to do it the way I think it should be done. This is further proof that it is God who opens our eyes, and God who gets the glory. It is nothing we do, it is what He has done. It can only be that way, because if we could save ourselves before you know it we would make kings and queens of ourselves and take God off the throne in no time. He alone can open a persons eyes to see the truth.I was reading in another blog someone mentioned all kinds of "laws" about eating shrimp and stoning people out of the Old Testament in Leviticus I believe.
