Accept one another (Rom 15:7) Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. Paul discussion of how to live as Christ’s congregation culminates in one of the most important commands in the … Continue reading
The Fork in the Road: Dialogue with Cougan: The Plan of Salvation, Part 3 of 4 (Ethics)
