2008.09.29 Monday Morning!

Top of the morning and best wishes from Pilgrim Presbyterian Church, located in the heart of Vinita, Oklahoma!

My thoughts about "loveless orthodoxy" last week raised a few gentle questions. Why do I believe that we distort the Bible when we interpret it literally? For me, the following passages are troublesome - and these are only a few:

Genesis 9:25-27; 19:8
Leviticus 17:11-14; 20:13
Numbers 31:1-2; 31:15
Deuteronomy 14:21
I Corinthians 14:34,35

You decide whether to take these samples literally.

For today's "Pearl of Value" think about this:

"God summons us to be masters, not of others, but of ourselves."


Peace!
Richard
