I think we will have to leave it at a stale mate. :) I understand what you are telling me. Only I see that scriptures always provides an 'if', 'if you endure', 'if you overcome', 'if you continue in faithfulness'. And commands 'you ought to walk as he walked', etc. Man receives grace when he...

Only I do not see in any way that this scripture is applied to the US. The USA, looking at the way it is, is not righteous. Nations are corrupt, they work by power. The US is no exception. :) God bless you

You're American? My bad, I thought you were Christian... ;) Of course, we are 'citizens' of a country in the flesh. This is not meant to be an offense. I'm just making a point. Christ has given us politics and a way of doing things. We have a choice. Either we set aside our countries ideals...

Welcome here Andrey! Glad to have a brother from Russia!

:lol: Hahaha.... We can never trust in man's politics to do God's will, we would be fooling ourselves to do so.

Agreed. Only Christ said all who live godly will suffer persecution. We are not to bite back, but to love. :)

God bless you, Robbie.

Oups!!! :lol: Sorry sister!!! :) The Lord bless you, sister! ;)

34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him. Whoever comes close to God, God will come close to. I don't think that's partiality. What also makes that right is...

Revelation 22:12 [ Jesus Testifies to the Churches ] “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. God doesn't pick favorites. It says he is not a respecter of persons, that goes for Christians too! If we are faithful, he rewards us...

Thanks for your response and the grace in which you give it! Here's the thing though, it says of the unfaithful servant that he is bound hand and foot, and cast out. It says we can be cut off. That man might be saved from destruction, but he lives eternally in shame. It is not a thing to...

What does it matter which is factually right? And what point does that make? :)

Here's an alternative to the usual 'footprints in the sand', which I thought was (1) more mature, and (2) funny :lol: Butt Prints In The Sand One night I had a wondrous dream, One set of footprints there was seen, The footprints of my precious Lord, But mine were not along the shore. But...

Hi all! This verse has been getting thrown around so much... And I thought it was worth going into. Here's my thoughts on the subject that I had posted in another thread. We must be very carefull how we use that verse. Yes, there is none righteous, when God measures them against the...

Yes. :) God is not partial. If a man would choose to walk in his way, he will have the reward.

Well said, brother! :)

It says 'I am crucified with Christ'. Yes. That is true. :) But it also says 'reckon yourselves dead to sin' and 'crucify (an order to presently do it) the deeds of the flesh'. God has made it available, we must walk in it.

Yes. That we may die and he may live through us! And that we might be conformed to Him! :)

The danger, I would say, lies in one considering himself above the possibility of being cut-off as we are so often warned about, and saying he needs not consider the severity of God, but only the goodness. To consider oneself above the cutting off that God warns us of is dangerous; it is to...

Context? 6 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. Paul says that at the end of his life. The rest of the time he says 'endure', 'run the race', 'not as though I had already attained'. We are justified by faith, but who does the...
