Re: Preach it Bro !
OK but I guess my brain can't comprehend your argument. To me, I took what he was saying similar to how RZehr took it. It must align well with your worldview, and in this case, it aligns near mine but not exactly. I don't eschew the political system to gain a higher or more spiritual level, I do it...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills
That is a reasonable question Ken. Without the benefit of much thought, I would point out that my belief is in Jesus and the new covenant he revealed. That is why I hold previous covenants (Adam, Noah, national Israel) in lower position. Hebrews tells God spoke in many times and prophets but in the...

Re: Preach it Bro !
Sudsy, I avoided this for several reasons. First, I generally don't watch video clips on MN, second I don't want to argue with people who feel motivated to defend President Trump. Arguing usually drives people into more extreme positions. But since you asked, I did watch it. I don't think this accur...

Re: Proselytization
I think Jesus' critique was the empty religiosity of the pharisees moved people further from God than they were before.

My prediction is the things rich and powerful people want to do usually turn out to be legal eventually.

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree
It makes a lot of difference to me who the disagreement is with. With peripheral relationships where you rarely see the person, it's ok to smile, nod and say "I see you feel strongly about this." It's not a crisis that people somewhere disagree with me. Yes - but look at the lower levels ...
