The Spirit and the Letter .
I ask my brethern the......to mediate on how to avoid literality and take the spirit of the divine Commandment into life,away from formalities.
Let us not be Pharisees nor lawyers , but spiritual persons.
The Pharisees used to stick to the Letter as they did concerning the Sabbath Commandment!
When the Lord gave sight to the man bron blind , and it was on the Sabbath , they said ,
" This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath "
( Jn.9:16 )
And to the man they said ,
" Give God the glory ! we know that this Man is a sinner "
( Jn.9:24 )
Likewise , when the Lord healed the sick man at Bethesda ,
who had been sick for 38 years , they thought to kill Him because He had done that on the sabbath .
( Jn.5:16 )
Our brethen the .......stick to the letter ..........
They do not know that the Letter kills because it reveals their lack of understanding of the spirit of the Commandment as evident from their posts ,comments and replies !!
True , " The Letter kills but the Spirit gives Life "
Sicowin2 the Pharisee !!
