Little do you know what a gloriously uncertain thing law is.
The pride of life hath corrupted the judgment of others, and perverted them in the way of religion.
Though we have clear and full scriptures in the New Testament for abolishing the Ceremonial law, yet we nowhere read in all the new Testament of the abolishing of the Judicial law, so far as it did concern the punishing of sins against the Moral law, of which Heresy and seducing of souls is one, and a great one. Once God did reveal his will for punishing those sins by such and such punishments. He who will hold that the Christian Magistrate is not bound to inflict such punishments for such sins, is bound to prove that those former laws of God are abolished, and to shew some scripture for it.
There is no sinfulness in the will and affections without some error in the understanding. All lusts which a natural man lives in, are lusts of ignorance.
The Lord Jesus will be revealed mightily, and will make bare his holy Arm, as well in the confusion of Antichrist, as in the conversion of the Jews, before the last judgment, and the end of all things.
How small regard is had to the oath of God by men professing the name of God.

I give in to nothing or nobody. Cut me, break my bones, it was all the same.
Before the war, and especially before the Boer War, it was summer all the year round.
It's interesting to think about the history of Israel in relation to the history of the U. S. . There were Native Americans living here that U. S. settlers totally displaced, and that narrative is not connected with the Isreal-Palestinian struggle at all.
