You can keep a rule while ignoring the conditions, like the woman who rear ended me insiting that she was only going the speed limit. She was following the rule but not paying attention to conditions. <BR/><BR/>Consider when Jesus said:<BR/><BR/>If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.<BR/><BR/>I don't think Jesus was giving law or setting a regulation but he was showing us something very necessary to the abundent life.<BR/><BR/>I see them as very different words.<BR/><BR/>- PeaceDave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06124242031729205239noreply@blogger.com
