I mean, that's biblical. Unfortunately, using "our hearts" as proof of "what God wants" is a problem. However, if you understand that <i>indeed</i> the true believer has the law of God written on his/her heart, then 1 John 3:9 makes more sense.Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523232247971115247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30006406.post-44093728733456625222011-08-05T10:44:38.502-07:002011-08-05T10:44:38.502-07:00Ignore the hijackers, I say, OR, have fun demandin...Ignore the hijackers, I say, OR, have fun demanding they explain and prove their positions.<br /><br />As to the thread, it was indeed well done. The Law is important, if for nothing else, to instruct us as to what is or is not sinful and behaviors to avoid. Without the Law to instruct us, there would really be no difference between a believer and a non-believer (beyond the insistence that one believes) as I don't see that many people would instinctively know how God wants us to act. Sure, one can say that His Law is written on our hearts. But it is far too easy to justify our wants. A clear list of "thou shalt nots" is imperative for imperfect beings and self-centered beings.Marshal Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01054268632726520871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30006406.post-66663824289110760012011-08-05T09:34:14.608-07:002011-08-05T09:34:14.608-07:00Haven't commented much anywhere for a while. ...Haven't commented much anywhere for a while.
