    I'm a Reformed Baptist, and not generally Torah observant, but I still tend to think it generally applies. I lean toward taking OT Law more seriously than most modern Christians. Patriarchy seems to be a universal principle in the Bible.

    Yeah I like to read the story of the lost sheep in its context. The Pharisees we see in verse 1 were making a big deal over the fact that Jesus was eating and drinking with publicans and sinners. We read elsewhere in Luke's gospel of a Pharisee...
