is this ever preached?

Where other teachers might have had long lists of "do-nots" or prohibitions, Jesus' principal concern seems to have been that people not be paralyzed by fear.

i never heard it preached but frankly i think i'm too paralyzed to hear it much less believe it possisble ... and i doubt i'm alone in this

Congrats on being the first to find this little dump.

i had found it and read it but mostly its beyond me intellectually and otherwsie, but also it's hard to leave a comment. Plus it seemed more private and while i likley have little to say of interest or relevance it seemed a little forlorn to have these posts and nary a comment

That's you ... always standing up for the forlorn. What makes it hard to comment? The login?

not sure what you mean, and doubt i always stand up for the forlorn, but yes, it was the log in made it difficult. I have a gmail acct but use it for junk so it wasnt in my menu at first to use that acct to sign in and comment ... plus being not so intuitive it also took a little time to figure out i needed to dust off the google acct in order to comment.
