In 2 Tim 2:4 and 1 Cor 5:12-13 Paul seems to be advocating a church only mindset, obeying the law where it doesn’t transgress God’s law, as in Romans 13/Acts 5:29...

    I went to a Catholic Confessional today

    So in my quest to un-mess everything from my childhood and (God help my) teenage and beyond years, I today took James 5:16 and ran with it. Or, rather, walked with it, it's hot and I'm a large man and I had no money for parking... Basically, I grew up in a Baptist church and am going there...
