Getting detracted by which bible to use is law, the very thing Jesus came to Free us from. I suppose the point I see above all, is that Freedom in the UK is being eroded and replace with ever incleasing amounts of law which the law makers break the same as every one else, honour means nothin.
The problem for people is one of control, Church uses the Bible to control us by bringing us under law, continually explaining what this scripture means or what that verse is trying to say. They change verses in Bibles to suite the requirements they expect from the sheep, us, heh. Instead of letting people discover by revalation what life and truth is.
Freedom is Spirit in the heart of everyone, it is under attack in the Freeworld like never before. Leaders lie and deceive their peoples to get them into wars they don't need, but we do not see the deception because we are blind to it, what we see is the law, this is our captivity being engineered. God gave Moses 10 laws to live by, by the time Jesus arrived the pharasees had increased the laws to 650 and people lived under the thumb of leaders and their laws.
sorry about this going on folks, but Freedom is my biggest passion, by far.

Well, biblcally speaking, believers in Christ don't live under Mosaic biblical law. There's a difference between God's moral law and Jewish Mosaic codes. No doubt religious codes dictated most secular law, don't kill, steal, ect.
Remember, Jewish law was for the Jews only. Certainly every belief system makes up it's own so called codes of conduct for sin. We don't call it breaking the law today, we call it partaking of sin...
Christ freed us from the law of sin and replaced it with grace and love. You're correct, man has used many codes to define what is sin. Smart people that think for themselves test things with an open mind, not just believe what someone tells them is right or wrong.
There were lot's of problems with early Jewish and Gentile Christians. Many Jewish christians still followed many customs and laws from the past, the Gentiles didn't. When they came together they argued over what was right. Paul told them they both were right and just to get along and respect each others beliefs.
