Re: Rules provide no help in avoiding evil desires
I think it's interesting (and telling) that when Baron said "rules", many people made the connection to "God's laws" and reacted to his post accordingly. Doesn't that say something about our mindset, that we equate the rules of the church with the laws and instructions found in God's Word?
They are NOT one and the same.
