“For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” – Galatians 5:14 This may be likened to a case of many varied pills versus one injection as cure for an ailment. The question is which would you rather settle for? With the pills come the

“Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” – Galatians 6:2 If it is a law and if it is from Christ, then it is not a matter up for debate. Personal opinions are inconsequential in matters of divinity. The conclusions of the Supreme Lord expressed in His statutes are what
