The dangers of misapplication bind the consciences and have led many to heretical positions. One of my dearest friends disdains our church because we do not sell all our possessions and give to the poor. He thinks we are not faithfully following Jesus in this regard. Your post clarifies some of the wrong roads to absolutize when it comes to applying Scripture. May Christ be treasured. Thank you for your post!

Jesus preached a coming Kingdom. His audience understood that Kingdom to be a literal, physical, social, political, temporal Kingdom over the entire Earth with Jerusalem at the center. Of this there is no question among learned men! Yet this is not at all what people are told in Church! I think that this does a great disservice, and disgraces our lord, the Messiah Jesus.
