According to man, there is an exception to every rule, a caveat (or maybe two) that lets him off the hook in case he doesn’t quite measure up, or fails to meet the standard in question.

The archetype for the Church is Jesus, for He was the perfect expression of the Father’s love towards humanity, as the living embodiment of Heaven here on earth. Yet most who declare themselves His followers, those who have professed that Christ is indeed the Savior, are still mimicking the world, embracing a form of godliness…
Is it still burnt offerings or sacrifices of atonement laid upon an altar? Do I still ask them to honor My name in this way?

Then what obligation are they charged with to walk uprightly…
