Don't let a root of bitterness cause you to have hatred and division in your hearts against your brothers and sisters in Christ.

Good point.

The Book is the Law
The Cat has the Word. (and the Word is with you)
So, go read some Cat in the Hat!

and the spirit of Miss Ta Ken, yes. quote me a bylaw, and i'll quote you its truth, huh. you can't have one, and not the other. show me your faith, and i'll show you my works. but show them the Word and they show you the Law. because hippies.

yet the dead have no issues, do they. go ask them. then tell us what they told you. but the Law is don't talk to the dead

The book is not the law.

Law is legal ways to earn salvation. The book contains two covenants. Law and Grace. The book shows progress from law to grace. The book is not law.

Law came by Moses, grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
