Because the police won't.

Ah, sorry. It is written in such a way so as to allow people who will be led to, to use these verses as a valid reason to oppress women, despite the lack of a single other witness in Scripture. And so, the heart of the oppressor is revealed, and the heart of a woman is revealed, and the heart of the priest is revealed, all by their interpretations of this passage, as well as other hearts; a pastor's, a peer's, anyone who evinces an opinion on the matter. It is literally a truth machine, just ask someone their opinion on the passage, and bauda~boing.

All in a cautionary tale meant to be taken as a warning to the Priest.

Default Why be good if God forgives us our sins anyway?

What a strange question. Are good and bad equally acceptable to you? Are you okay with being either?

Those who think everyone is forgiven are blind.

The son of man says;

"All those who do good to the resurrection of life. The evil doers to the resurrection of condemnation."

This.

Doing/being good = positive ripples in the force.

And vice versa.

but if you don't resist here, you will see that you are being played, in order that your heart be revealed. Lessee, there's a couple ways to go here, but When is this resurrection? When does it occur? On what future date?
