Let see, if you do murder, that is against the law. But if you call him "idiot" that is breaking the relationship between you. Bluntly, that is only possible for those who have made the Word of the Lord a lantern unto one's feet, and a light unto one's path PS 118/ 119, Geneva Bible. NUN 105 Thy word is a [a]lantern unto my feet, and a light unto my paths. 106 I have [b]sworn and will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. Footnotes a Psalm 119:105 Of ourselves we are but darkness and cannot see except we be lightened with God's Word. b Psalm 119:106 So all the faithful ought to bind themselves to God by a solemn oath and promises, to stir up their zeal to embrace God's word. Matthew 18: 21-23 (Geneva Bible, 1599) 21 [a]Then came Peter to him, and said, Master, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I shall forgive him? unto seven times? 22 Jesus said unto him, I say not to thee, Unto seven times, but, Unto seventy times seven times. Again, not a matter of counting, but of continually forgiving others. And who can do that? One who has steeped themselves in not just the Lord's Precepts, but in prayer, and humility. u tschus pyotr -- pyotr After the war two Army Chaplains were mustering out.
