I heard this line on tv show Andromedah.\nIt made me think of law and grace colliding,\nnot to mention the modern law law colliding.\nLet us go on unto perfection, by leave principles?

When one believes only in the eternal moment of now, "past" and "future" no longer have revelence.

Excellent.  I don't normally answer questions from the US, as it's not my culture and I wish US residents would refrain from advising Brits on legal matters as if our laws were identical.  We're different.\n\nBut this is clever and ironic, love it.

The scripture is taken out of context as quoted above.  The verse is in I Corinthians.  It says, "There is no temptation taken you but such as is common to man.  But, God is faithful.  He will not allow you to be tempted above what you can bear, but with the temptation will make a way of escape that you might be able to bear it."  (I'm quoting from memory King James version, so it's not exact)  The verse promises that God will make a way to escape temptation.  It doesn't say he will force us to take the avenue of escape.  That is entirely up to us.

You're lucky I love this book and it's sitting next to me...\n\nAtticus: "if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you see things from his point of view--"\nScout: "Sir?"\nAtticus: "--until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."\n\n\nThe two answerers above me- did you ever consider this is a high school student that can't figure it out?  Perhaps they are being lazy or perhaps they just don't know which quote is correct.  Don't answer the question if you're just going to be a jerk.

In context, Matthew 23:7-9 reads, "... And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."\n\nThis is call for humility for those in leadership roles. Not to be taken literally.\n\nWe are not to deny our male parent and cut the Commandment to honor our father and mother in half.\n\nSome leaders in any church may fall into the same folly as the pharisees of Jesus' day.\n\nWith love in Christ.

Sounds like it is from "War of the Worlds". Maybe the following:\n\n"Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us."

You know my friend I try not too underestimate the ablity of a person to mess something up.  \n\nThe Law was ment to guide us in the Lords way and we made it into a thing that squelshes who God is... And to beat others down... weither it is the 10 commandments the 613 or say things that modern christians can get legalistic about.  \n\nAnd unfortunately people have taken Grace to that extreme too... I mean we've all met people who say "I am born again I can do anything I want..." they think that they can throw obedience out the window... it is sad!\n\nMay God help us... to see the truth of the Law and the truth of his Grace

Actually Otto von Bismarck (German statesman, 1815-1898) is attributed to having said:\n\n"Those who love sausage and obey the law should not watch either being made." \n\nSo I'd stick with Otto's advice and watch neither.\n\nhttp://www.bartleby.com/73/996.html\n\nOther verison of the quote:\n\n"Those who like sausage and the law should never watch either being made."\n\nBill

There isn't any law for this kind of an arrangement... it's a matter which is decided by ones moral code.  "To each his own" is what's ringing true in my mind, but I'm guessing you won't quite agree with me on this point.  Am I correct?\n\n{}{}{} r u randy? {}{}{}\n.

I've read Night, Dawn, and The Accident several times each. The quote didn't sound familiar, so I WikiQuoted it...\n\n"A destruction only man can provoke, only man can prevent. Mankind must remember that peace is not God's gift to his creatures, it is our gift to each other." \nIt's from a Nobel Lecture, 11 Decemeber, 1986.

I would be curious to see what your friend thinks of this scripture from 1 Corinthians 5:12-14...\n\nFor what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”\n\nShe is wrong. Yes. But you are also wrong for basing your salvation on what other people say or do. This will be no excuse in the last day. We must base our self examination with CHRIST as our standard. And without God's grace and mercy, we would all lose, wouldn't we?\n\nYoda Green - I suppose you are an example of the non-judgmental?

I'm pretty sure that is from Proverbs... These are NIV references, so the wording may be different in another version.\n\nProverbs 21:9  "Better to live on a corner of the roof \n       than share a house with a quarrelsome wife."\n\nProverbs 21:19 "Better to live in a desert \n       than with a quarrelsome and ill-tempered wife."\n\nProverbs 25:25 "Better to live on a corner of the roof \n       than share a house with a quarrelsome wife."\n\nProverbs 17:1 "Better a dry crust with peace and quiet \n       than a house full of feasting, with strife."

Galatians 2:21 (NKJV)  \n    I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain." \n\nGalatians 5:4 (NKJV)  \n    You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. \n\nGalatians 5:14 (NKJV)  \n    For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." \n\nGalatians 5:18 (NKJV)  \n    But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. \n\nIsaiah 64:6 (NKJV)  \n    But we are all like an unclean thing,\n    And all our righteousness are like filthy rags;\n    We all fade as a leaf,\n    And our iniquities, like the wind,\n    Have taken us away. \n________\n\nWe do not stand as "righteous" because of our works.  Our works, even our "good works" are filthy rags.  No one can stand by their own merit.\n\nNow, if we are Christians, Christ died and paid the penalty for everything we have done and WILL DO.\n\nWe do not now stand in front of God with an empty slate...Christ has GIVEN us HIS Righteousness.  \n\nI now stand in front of God as a sinner, yet with Christ's righteousness.  \n\nActs 13:38-39 (NKJV)  \n    Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; [39] and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses. \n\nGod sees me as perfect.  I am not under Law.  It is my guide.

Justify being considerate outside of a "religious" context? Well ... I do good for others or am considerate for one simple reason that has nothing to do with religion. Gravity is a physical law. I think that, and I underline "I think" because its just my opinion, that like gravity there is a mental or psychological law that operates along these lines ... "What goes around comes around." I've noticed that if I'm inconsiderate, well, that's pretty much what I get in return. If I'm considerate, well, I get that back too. So, as selfish as it may sound, doing good can be viewed as enlightened self-interest.

To answer at face value, not taking account of where the quote comes from, the answer woulkd be:\nIt depends on where you are born, when you are born and to whom you are born!!! Therefore the answer would be NO.

Thomas Alva Eddison,\nIt was the Judaizers that had a problem with that. Drink up. Haven't you learned yet that we are all sinners, and that the Grace of God is a Gift that we recieve for trusting God. Why are you always talking about sin? Being saved is about grace through faith. Not adherance to the Law.

Not a bad question!!\n\nNot sure that I can help though.\n\nThe first thing that came to mind was this quote by Hightower:\n\nDiscipline without Freedom is Tyranny.\n\nFreedom without Discipline is Choas.\n\n\nI hope that helps\n\nGood Luck\n\nJimmy
