Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] The Schizophrenic God   The idea of making the Bible relevant to today is actually quite important. The original meaning can become useless unless it's brought forward. Parts of the Bible that speak of the relationship between slave and master are meaningless and could be cut out of Scripture unless the intent can be modified to enhance employee-employer relationships. Follow Torah in this manner (as I do) and you will experience blessing in your business endeavors... just as is promised in Scripture.   This is liberal thinking. This is the thinking of the Pharisees. This was the thinking of Yeshua. I am, however, still a moral conservative, but I am a liberal in the interpretation of Scripture... just like my Messiah.  n       slade   Depends upon your definition of “liberal” obviously.  The Holy Spirit always makes the Bible relevant for today.  (A task for which we do not need theologians; but try convincing them.)  BTW, the similarity between slave/master and employee/employer is all too apparent for anyone who has ever worked for someone else. And, yes, the blessings of obeying the Word are faithful in any generation.  Izzy
