It's good to see here that your father has used the verse and applied it in context. It is most commonly used as the lifestyle justification verse, when Matthew truly meant it as a tool to introspect and to understand that only one man was without sin. It is imperative that a Christian understand the significance here and I'm glad to see that you seem to have a good handle on it.<br /><br />Nice post.Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16694740867794461759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954276725851312678.post-88024306160989513112011-01-17T10:49:29.028-08:002011-01-17T10:49:29.028-08:00Fantastic sentiment.

Reminded me of <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/14/opinion/14brooks.html?_r=1&src=ISMR_AP_LO_MST_FB" rel="nofollow">this</a> recent editorial.<br />It's a balance, of course - we need to acknowledge that we may be wrong, but we can't browbeat ourselves constantly over never being right. Perhaps this is yet another reason fundamentalist religion (we're all horribly debased sinners) conflicts with the capitalist zeitgeist (everybody's great). And once again, the middle ground is the most reasonable position.nuclear.kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218956177203199577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954276725851312678.post-11832592277052568122011-01-17T08:35:11.291-08:002011-01-17T08:35:11.291-08:00agreed!
