    The Spirit Of Murder Series

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 3, 2021
     | 2,290 views

    Jesus said that He did not come to abolish the law or the prophets. What did He mean? What did He mean by the spirit of murder? Let's look at that topic in the Sermon on the Mount.

In each case we learn several things, 1) the Spirit of the law, 2) our utter failure to live up to it, and 3) our need for forgiveness and mercy. Let’s begin to understand the intent of the law by its author. Let’s ...read more

     | 88 views

    The scene was set, both Jesus and Satan began calling to the people in the larger group.

    Jesus builds a shield around the law or Commandments in order to create more space and distance so that we won’t even bump up against the fence or sit on the fence but rather keep a healthy distance. For example, the Yodh rhymes with mode, is the smallest, most essential stroke letter in Hebrew, ...read more
