Free People ALLOW Freedom for ALL

The difference between the Old Testament and the New is that Jesus emphasizes the importance of EVERY Human Life to God.  The Pharisees took Human Life and Jesus preserved Human Life.  The Pharisees carried out the Law of Moses.  There ARE capital sins in the Old Testament that do NOT have anything to do with murder.  There are Pharisees today who believe that certain sins condemn a person and that if a person is condemned already he or she doesn't have a right to live.  Every nation and EVERY religion has its own Pharisees.  Jesus could NOT have been a Pharisee because He could NOT have purposely taken Human Life.  This is why He raised Lazarus from the dead, because Mary and Martha indirectly accused Him of murder by not being present when Lazarus died.  Jesus knew He could NOT be in two places at one time, but He had no choice but to prevent Mary and Martha from indirectly accusing Him of taking Human Life.  He healed the centurion's daughter from a distance by His words so as not to be seen waking with a soldier, which would have identified Him as a warrior Himself.  These are events in the life of Jesus that are often misunderstood.  But if we understand that Pharisees take Human Life and that Jesus preserves Human Life, we understand the difference between Grace and Law.  Grace allows people to be free and Law binds people to blind obedience even unto death.  EVERYONE has sinned sins worthy of death according to Law, but the Grace of Jesus not only gives us Life on this earth, but eternal Life so long as we do as Jesus did and NEVER purposely take a Human Life.  We allow others to Live, because this is EXACTLY what Jesus did.  Free people allow others to live FREE too!  Peace.  Brother Ralphie
