reality we should be fixated on the POWER of grace; for He said, "My grace is
sufficient unto you."
(3) again, the death penalty issue is only a symptom of our time. From
the beginning the Lord God has made a difference between "man" and those
He calls "the sons of God". Listen: "Whoso sheds man's blood, by man shall
his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man." So God uses "man"
to execute justice/judgment over murderers and thieves, etc. The Church is to
execute mercy and grace!
(4) It's not that we haven't "caught up": it's that we have gotten away from
those things "...which were from the beginning."

Bruda,
The things you say are good but the way you end it is corny.
It's like when the Chinese come here and use a wetsuit to boogie.
You watched to many roger rabbit to much.
