That is not the Lord that I know. He's a God, He's a being of love. God is agape. The scripture tells us that. It doesn't say God is a rule dispenser. His laws are built on the law of love. And if you'll take the time to read through the New Testament commandments, you will find that every one of them has to do with loving God and loving others. The Ten Commandments, same thing. ======================================================================== Video: https://sermonindex2.b-cdn.net/VHdIBatjKms.mp4 Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/steve-gallagher/god-is-not-a-harsh-religious-scrupulous-rule-dispenser/ ========================================================================
