You’ve all heard people say that too much information is dangerous, right? Or maybe when talking about someone else, they’ll be referred to as having just enough knowledge to be dangerous? I know the bible pretty well- I am familiar with most of what is in there, and can remember
Is there a difference? If God commands us to do something, or not do something, that is pretty clear. And if we disobey, we are in sin and must atone. But what if God only calls us to do something? Technically, I guess, we have an option to refuse without
