I'm pleased that you are so keen to read what I have to say Susan!

But as I said before, how come I have to do all 'work' here. What about a proper reply to each of Gadsby's points from yourselves?

I'll try to get to the verses, but not today. The thing is do you really want to hear the truth regarding them, are you wanting to learn from what I have to say, or are you just trying to 'trip me up'? If I don't exegete those verses I could be accused of having no answer to them, and if I do exegete them then I daresay you'll try to find flaws in my exegesis.

But actually all these verses say is similar things to the verses I have already spoken about. They mention keeping Christ's and the Father's commandments, which aren't grievous. I have shown that the 'law' is not being spoken of in 1 John already. These commandments respect believing in Christ, abiding in Him, loving Him, and loving one another. That's not the same as being bound by the law.

What else are you looking for me to say about the verses? Perhaps you'll offer your exegesis too. How can they refer to the law which was a burden the fathers could not bear? If Christ's yoke is easy then it is a different yoke, isn't it?
