No. I do not "lose". You misinterpret Scripture. It does not say God has exalted the Bible above God Himself. You are misreading Scripture. You have chosen a translation that can be misinterpreted in saying God is less superior to the Bible. You are wrong. It is idolatry. I am...

Scripture does not say that Christ propitiated God's wrath on the Cross but that Christ Himself is the Propitiation and Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation by faith in His blood. You are clinging to a myth, Brother, a heresy. Read Scripture. It does not need our additions.

Psalm 138:1-2 give you thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise; I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word. I provided the Col...

I never said He suffered and died instead of us suffering and dying. That is not what "propitiation" means (it is an atoning sacrifice that Appeased or turns aside wrath). You are just making stuff up and calling it Scripture.

I provided a passage stating that Christ is greater in all things. If you understand Christ to be inferior to Scripture I question your interpretation but not your right to believe so. I believe placing anything above God is idolatry, even the Bible. So yes, I say that is idolatry. We have to...

I accept the meaning of propitiation. It is a sacrifice that appeasesor turns aside wrath. You need a dictionary. It does not mean "punishment". You are only generating smoke to hide your inability to provide what is not there.

The problem is when some make a great thing (Scripture) an idol. Idolatry does not only concern evil things. Most often it is the opposite. It is giving something, anything, preeminence over Christ. Colossians 1:15-20 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For...

I told you before if you provide a verse stating God punished Jesus instead of us I would affirm PSA. That is the part I disagree with. It does not have to be in a single verse, but it does have to be in the text. You may not realize it, but the Bible actually says the greatest gift is love...

Serious? Scripture tells us that the greatest gift is love, that God is love, that Christ is superior in all things..... Defend for me the idea that Scripture is greater a gift than is Christ.

Joe Biden?

The issue is whether or not the message is greater than the topic of the message or the sender of the message. Is Scripture a greater gift than God giving His own Son? Is Scripture a greater gift than Christ laying down His life? Scripture itself denies this heresy. Scripture claims that the...

It is. But more importantly systemic racism relates not to individual people but to a system. Systemic racism in the US became illegal in 1964. Since that time it has been eliminated (you will not find restaurants saying one race is not allowed to enter, or a company with a policy of not...

Let me ask this - do you understand the difference between racism and systemic racism? I ask because systemic racism does not exist in the United States. But racism does exist within individuals regardless of race. And past systemic racism did create problems that our culture needs to address.

It depends on what one means by "affirmative action". If you mean rejecting systemic racism, then yes. I agree. If you mean removing race from the equation in hiring and promoting practices, then I agree. But if you mean the practice or policy of favoring individuals belonging to groups known...

The problem with your thought (above) is it is a false narrative. Systemic racism happened in the past but for the most part not by people living to day to people living today. What some are encouraging is that people who are living today, who have never been subjected to systemic racism...

Amen! To quote Shelby Steele, "white guilt is black power". " Anger in the oppressed is a response to perceived opportunity, not to injustice. And expressions of anger escalate not with more injustice but with less injustice. Wounds and injustices create only the potential for anger, but...

I do not believe anyone should lose. I just do not believe the solution to past systemic racism is to implement systemic racism. One solution I have seen quite a bit lately is to start implementing systemic racism by selecting people because of race in an attempt to correct past instances...

Christianity Today is seeking to solve a problem in a worldly way. It is seeking to implement systemic racism to address the consequences of past systemic racism.

Obviously Scripture is vital in the life of the believer. They are God's words to us, to His people. The epistles are addressed to the church (to the "bride"). Revelation is addressed to the churches. We cannot devalue Scripture. But at the same time Scripture itself denies that it is the...

I agree. Scripture is the test. That does not justify elevating Scripture over God sending His Son. Nor does that justify rejecting the power and work of God.
