Thanks for your kind words-- the New Baptist Covenant was pretty incredible. It's notable that it was started by Jimmy Carter and Bill Underwood, a guy who got someone off of death row after 16 years.

Radical stuff. John 8 or Exodus 21: that is the question.

Even those of us who don't believe that Jesus was the only son of God can find inspiration in his advocacy. Thanks, Steve.

Mark Osler - Thanks for your courage.

Mark Bennett - Exodus 21 and other O.T. law was meant for the nation of Israel, not for us Gentiles. Jesus revealed the true meaning of the law, God's love, for all, including us Gentiles, John 8 was an example.

Gentlemen - Thanks so much for dropping in.

SG,

Our prosecutors (even those who wear WWJD bracelets) seem to be guided more by Exodus 21 and Romans 13 than John 8.

Indeed. Like I said, grace and mercy are a mystery to them. Also, beware of WWJD. It's a buzz-word, not a label for true believers.
