This Christian Resource Blog has been created by a group of friends from around the world. Our purpose is to provide links to useful resources, some commentary on topical or doctrinal issues, a place where anyone can come with questions and a means whereby we can share our faith. And above all, to grow and encourage each other. As Christians, we believe we bear God's image in this world, and seek to glorify God's name in this endeavour. Any Christian who wants to join with us is very welcome!

Legalisms 

Geoff, We should go over our BSF answers one day, over some good wine of course. Here are a few of mine fron last week:

14a. What do we have to do in order to be included in the wonderful group described in 3:16-18?

Have faith; you don't earn salvation.

12a. How do Malachi's teachings on tithes and offerings apply to our present call to be 'living sacrifices'?

They don't, the requirement for tithing was part of the old covernant, which is gone, tithes were for the Temple which is gone and 'living sacrifices' means live the Christian life!

10a. How is the hypocrisy in Malachi reproduced in our day?

Is it. I don't know that, but if you do fine. Are you being judgemental? What about accepting, understanding and forgiving.

8c. How do Christian leaders (including you) cause others to stumble today?

Do they, do I? There's nothing I feel guilty about! Perhaps the teaching, the example, the illustrations used are not perfect, but the faith is for real people with human faults and imperfections. And I and pastors may point others to the bible.

Geoff, the implicatations are that the churches are not right, society is just unbelievably terrible, but righteous BSF can teach you exactly what is right and how to live.

On top of that, its the same routine, nothing changes, and to me the Saturday morning session could have half and hour cut from it at least.

I've had enough. I know why I had a break last time. And questions like those above are not on Malachi. They are padding from BSF that doesn't want to go onto a couple of chapters of another book this week.
