    Grace is NOT unmerited favor!

    Very true. Ultimately the issue is those who hold and apply human philosophy that is not only absent from but contrary to Scripture. Given the amount of commentaries and “tools” out there people become “self-educated” disciples of whatever philosophy or “theology” speaks to them. They do not...

    USA riots

    I wouldn't say there is no evidence Mr Floyd resisted arrest (in the original video the bystandards emphasized he was no longer resisting, the person who said he had some training and told the officer he was cutting off Mr Floyds breathing indicated the same, the officers had tried to put him in...

    USA riots

    I wonder why the riots. We have had going on 4 nights if protests but thus far no riots, no injuries, no distruction of property, ect.

    Who are you ?

    I am not under the law . I am under grace. I fulfill the righteous requirement of the law by walking in the Spirit. Reminds me of that early 20th century hymn - Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus. True Christians do not look to the law but to the righteousness of God manifested apart from the law...

    Unscrambling : The Elect

    Why would I feel bad? Growing up I always thought it'd be fun to be a trash collector. They rode on the back of the truck and got to know the community. I would not mind being a street sweeper. Most of the time they ride on a street sweeping machine. But I think I'd like the old way better...

    Grace is NOT unmerited favor!

    If the price is right, I will. But we have to leave Scripture out of it. :)

    Grace is NOT unmerited favor!

    God's grace covers a lot. I agree.

    Grace is NOT unmerited favor!

    Grace is grace. Wrath is wrath. What if God's grace us the righteousness of God manifested apart from the law? I am not saying this is true or that it is not. But grace is grace, wrath is wrath.

    Grace is NOT unmerited favor!

    No. That is not what I mean or said. (I mean exactly what I said)

    Grace is NOT unmerited favor!

    Did I say that? If you believe so I challenge you to quote me.

    Unscrambling : The Elect

    I protest the flavor. Too bland. o_O. Got anything of value? Perhaps something for those who like a little life in their omelets?

    Unscrambling : The Elect

    I guess I am not. Go figure.

    Unscrambling : The Elect

    Did the great harlot make good omelets?

    Grace is NOT unmerited favor!

    No. Grace is unmerited favor. Wages is merited favor. You add the "in place of wrath".

    Unscrambling : The Elect

    You can't unscramble the elect. Scripture speaks of the elect after the omlet is served.

    'Death is swallowed up in victory' -When?

    1 Corinthians 15:23-28 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all...

    'Death is swallowed up in victory' -When?

    I agree. There is a sence whereby this victory is already realized (Christ is resurrected). But that passage is in the contest of our resurrection in Christ. The life is here because Christ has gained victory and our hope is in His resurrection. But one day we will experience a fulfillment...

    Are we our brothers keeper?

    I disagree that we can go that far with what is offered in Scripture of Cain, but I agree in principle. I am a moderator on another forum. Sometimes I see people who have agendas against anyone who disagree with them. They try to defeat them rather than disagree as Christians. They try to harm...

    Are we our brothers keeper?

    Very good point. When we try to expound on one verse (like this one) beyond explaining what is stated we end up using Scripture as an illustration for what we want to say. How many of us guys have "expounded on" Proverbs 27:15-16 for our loving wives? :D
