Drich, you must admit he has a point. Why does the Word insist throughout that we must repent and follow the ways of the Lord if we haven't the capacity to do as he instructs? I think your "absolute standard" requirement misses the mark.

I know the traditional view is that the Law's sole purpose is to help us identify our sinfulness in comparision. But is that it? I don't think so. Surely it has another purpose and I believe that purpose is to teach us how to love so that by loving we may find favor in His sight.
