Finally there is some activity in this news group, it seems as if religion and politics are the most hotly contested of subjects. My biggest complaint about "Christendom" is that most Preachers lay a heavy burden of "thou shalt not"s on your shoulders without lifting a finger to tell you how to accomplish all this. My feeling is that God delivered His Law to the people, not for them to try and accomplish, (we can't anyway) but to give us a picture of Himself. Only God could live up to all those laws and commandments, and this was what he was trying to get accross by giving them to us! We don't need to try and do anything of ourselves, we just need God to do them for us and through us. Mark A. Carlson
