Re: Prodigal Son Distorted by FB Pastor
The text doesn't say that the son left "because" of the rules; the only accurate way to put it is that he "left the rules." He left because he wanted to pursue his own will, rather than the will of his father. In doing that, he left the rules, and the rule maker, behind. He left behind boundaries.
