Forgiveness and Debt

I’ve been thinking more about forgiveness ever since my post about “forgiving those that don’t think they’re wrong.“

Then one day, I watched some Jesus movie (not a good one at that – some stiff British guy was playing Jesus in some royalty-type fashion).  In the movie, Jesus taught the Lord’s prayer.

I had a sudden insight.  Well, it’s not new, but it’s the same old thing put in a new way.  Or maybe the Holy Spirit was just shedding new light on it.

Accountability easily turns into…

Accountability sounds like a great thing.  People ask others to hold them accountable for their diet, for their workouts, and even their “Christian things” like daily devotion time with God, or time in prayer.

After all, individually, we’re all just sinners (Romans 3:23) and it’s difficult for us to make resolutions and abide by them on our own.  We just don’t have the will-power to do so!

So… what was the deal with circumcision?

Of course, since we now live in the post-Old Testament era of the New Covenant, we no longer need to be circumcised…

The Holy Spirit – whom I neglected

I have to confess that until recently, for most of my Christian life, I have not thought much about the Holy Spirit.  So in essence, I didn’t think about the Trinity, I thought about the Duo-inity, only God the Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ.

What difference does it make, you might ask?
