Sadly the Christian universe seems divided between those who follow the Great Commission(baptize 'em and tell how to follow the rules) and the Great Commandment (love one another as you have been loved). I am in the latter group. I approach antinomianism - I believe there is only one law - the Great Commandment. Following that subsumes all else and is the only thing that heals all human evil in the world. The rest 'is just commentary.' thanks -Fr Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232925124388686609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238382886103256219.post-12297082027721750762008-07-16T05:02:00.000-07:002008-07-16T05:02:00.000-07:00Loving the post and the comment from John-Julian a...Loving the post and the comment from John-Julian as well!Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238382886103256219.post-50279728388371719992008-07-15T13:26:00.000-07:002008-07-15T13:26:00.000-07:00Please Sir, continue to "not be able to help yours...Please Sir, continue to "not be able to help yourself" anytime you wish.
