It is enjoyable reading bright, intelligent discussion amongst theologians. However, in the end, all of it is specious because, by definition, none of us can know the mind and heart of God. We only conject and propose and explain our own limited understandings in such discussions; and to what end? Is it so that we can convince people of our rightness or even our righteousness? I understand that we are exhort one another to holy lives, but one only has to read Micah or the words of Christ to understand what that really means. And I am not being exclusive about context here, only citing those two examples as the clearest, most direct language about the law and what God truly seeks from humanity. The law comes down to nurturing relationships of a loving nature between God and oneself and between oneself and others.
