I understand that all have sinned and deserve Hell, but what you said before concerning inadvertently slipping over the speed limit a few mph was, "If that were the only sin you ever committed, it would send you to Hell..." That's a tough line to tote. What kind of God would think this way? Terry wrote: > Annanias and Sapphira tell a little lie. No one > was hurt by it.

Ananias and Sapphira are burning in hell, as they should be for lying to the Holy Ghost. But how is it you consider this kind of like doing 57 in a 55 zone? I'm way out in left field from you on this one. Give me some time to pray about this and think about this. My head is spinning. I can't fathom this kind of thinking. No offense to you. The problem must be with me. I'm just kind of speechless and trying to figure out what must be wrong with me. Terry wrote: > Starting to get the picture? When God says > something, He means it. I have no problem understanding that when God says something, he means it. No question that we must obey Him. The question doesn't concern what God says, but how violating inadvertently what man says equates to sin. Jesus can heal on the Sabbath, contrary to the laws of men, and his apostles can pluck ears of corn, contrary to the laws of men, and his apostles can eat without washing first, contrary to the laws of men, but if we slip over the speed limit a few mph, and that is the only thing we have ever done wrong, we will go to hell? That's what I'm having trouble understanding. Bear with me. I'm still assimilating. :-) All I can say right now is Wow. You have impressed me. Peace be with you.
