[Mr. Jeeves]

Those are the beliefs of a slave, not a man. A code that would serve the interests of mortals like the Sanhedrin (who I suspect were its true authors) and other such tax collectors better than it would serve the interests of the faithful.

[HarleyD]

Act 9:31 So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria enjoyed peace, being built up; and going on in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it continued to increase.

2Co 5:11 Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.

Seems like the faithful didn't think so.

[PetroniusMaximus]

***Those are the beliefs of a slave, not a man.***

That which you seem to think is freedom is actually slavery.
