Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills

The two greatest commandments, love God, love neighbor. I don’t see how killing my neighbor is completely compatible with loving my neighbor. Seems like this would rank pretty high in “main things”. There is also the consideration to who is our neighbour according to Jesus. Jesus had a question put...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills

Consider two hypothetical men. One man is a member of a nonresistant church, nods firmly when his pastors speak of it, would never defend himself with a gun, and teaches his children the same. But he resents his neighbor for an old dispute about the boundary line on their property; he gets angry at...
