besides, we gotta speak the truth in love (1 Corithians 10, I think). The question here is what issues are critical to our faith or not. Like Harry Potter and his hype. Like the practise of tongues today.

Last Sunday we talked about conflict in the Body of Christ in church. If ya check out Deuteronomy 29:29, some things we will never know, so better avoid argument. One such issue is why God allowed incestuous marriage among Adam's offspring but explicitly stated in Exodus that such marriages are forbidden.

Others are explicitly stated in the Word, and we've got no excuse for ignoring them.

I read a commentary about 1 Corinthians the other day. The slogan "everything is permissible" was actually a godless pagan slogan popular in Corinth. Paul sarcastically tore it to pieces in his writing. To parade it around as a basis for freedom in our living is a misapplication.

Now, what did that have to do with my point.....
