I find that understanding the word helps to break free from unnecessary self inflicted castigation. The gospel is good news because of the Liberty you receive in Christ.

Demands for obedience does not sit well with me.

you want to not obey (fight) God be my guest. I learned this way.

"The word" is a very broad historical text. Obedience to the word could mean anything.

When I question the loose term "obedience" I am not fighting anything. I am indirectly challenging you to define in more specific context why you believe we should be obedient, how should obedience be exercised and to what end.

The why, how and howcome, if you will.

Then to the amusment of everyone who reads some interesting thoughts and ruminations might occur.

I challenge you to assert yourself in your convictions.

I throw down the gauntlet. Are you game?

The Word is the whole Bible. Also you have a God given conscience.

I'll quickly go pierce someones ear with an awl. Give me a sec.

I am testing your knowledge and wit because I wanted to see if I would be willing to follow you on Nostr. You share platitudes and make shallow unconvincing arguments. You claim that the word is gods word and you misquote the supposed "word" in your bio. I seek intellectual stimulus and debate.

That is how we truly learn. By being challenged.
