Original commentary (from July 4, 2021):
"I’m on an outreach trip so this is why my upload is so early! Gotta hit the road! Replies may also be slow so bear with me.
I always love finding new ways to see the Bible. This one is no exception. I gave this message to my youth group and a lot of people were minds blown, so I hope this is a blessing to you.
This life would be a hopeless one if we are really supposed to follow every single law found in the Torah. That would destroy my poor brain, plus it’s impossible to follow those laws. But thank God that’s not the point of things at all! As the comic states, the point is to get us to LOVE.
I should clarify one thing, in the Old Testament, “hhatah” is not the only word that is translated as “sin”. But I think my point still stands, given all the New Testament scriptures regarding how the law is fulfilled through loving God and one another. So all of those rules and regulations were ways one can love their neighbors. It all comes back full circle to the idea that “God is love”. To sin is to fail to love because God is love and those who love are of Him.
Of course, continue to refrain and hate sin. But do that because sin is against God and against your neighbors. You hate sin because you love God and your neighbors. Never forget that those should be your primary motivations. And honestly, fighting sin with those positive motivations is just that much easier isn’t it?
If this is new to you, or this refreshed your perspectives, then great! I hope this is an encouragement to you!
So beloved, go love with all you’ve got. Even those who hate you and those whom you can’t stand. They are made in the image of God! Go check out Mike Winger btw, he is the one who inspired this comic, he has some GOOD stuff on his channel!"
