Rom 6:16 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "I guess he was happy with his master and his dog-collar, and I hope you are all happy with yours, but nerither one of you had better try to tell me you aren't sick." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mr. Mincemeat, no one is sick. You have a terible misunderstanding of slavery. Either you are enslaved to sin, self, and Satan or you are enslaved to the Lord Jesus Christ. Being enslaved to sin, self, and Satan is truly being in bondage. However, being enslaved to Jesus Christ is real freedom. Believe me I've been on both sides. "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free." Jn 17:17 "Sanctify them in the truth; thy word is truth." Jn 14:6 "Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me." Jesus is the word, God's living message for all mankind.
