    Grace is NOT unmerited favor!

    Logical Fallacies; let me count the ways!:D 1). Ad hominem.... I am contentious. 2). Poisoning the well... I doubt that you know what you are talking about. 3). Appeal to the Stone, and Appeal to Ignorance.... I have not attempted an answer because you do not want one. A rational, Biblical...

    Grace is NOT unmerited favor!

    A Lexicon would do much to dispel the ignorance of the word. Penal Substitution is not in Scripture. It cannot be "connected" with a word that can mean propitiation, expiation or Mercy Seat. If you believe that there was not theological bias from the Calvinists on the translation committee, you...

    Grace is NOT unmerited favor!

    You brought it up, therefore it is fair game. You browbeat and judge people's salvation by using it as a stick, yet you cannot defend it. You claim that it is true because it is popular, then evade the same "proof" you claim to accept when Islam has more people that disagree than you have that...

    As sinless as the Blood of Jesus

    Base your faith on somethings Scripture says, not what you want it to say.

    As sinless as the Blood of Jesus

    What you describe is everything the Bible disavows. It renders conversion, regeneration and the New-Birth to be of no effect. The power of God is denied, and if this is the best that God can do here and now... I would have serious doubts that He could do any better after we are dead.

    As sinless as the Blood of Jesus

    Let no one deceive you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He (Jesus Christ) is righteous..." Both verses are true, but what is the context? No one is righteous speaks of self-justification and believing that you do not need a Savior. The second speaks of the Believer...

    USA riots

    The sign says, "END ARMED POLICE PATROLS"... Protesters with a solution in search of an answer! What does that have to do with what happened?

    As sinless as the Blood of Jesus

    So, unless God works the way you insist, you will not accept that sin is resolved. This is eisegesis, not exegesis. Many bibles footnote "sin-offering." But no matter which way it is to be understood, God did not made Jesus sinful or a sinner. Sin cannot be transferred from one person to...

    As sinless as the Blood of Jesus

    No. Jesus became a sin-offering for the whole world. Jesus did not "become sin." You can no more transfer sin to a tree than you can to Christ. You can no more transfer wisdom to a fool than you have impute honesty to a liar. Character and sin is not transferable. You can state it dogmatically...

    Grace is NOT unmerited favor!

    Don't you just love it when a Gnostic reveals their reliance on "gnosis" as the bar of someone's Christian faith!

    Grace is NOT unmerited favor!

    Millions more are Muslim and don't believe it! Is "popularity" your gauge of truth?

    Grace is NOT unmerited favor!

    Prove you're a Christian! I don't believe you are. You show all the evidence to the contrary! You fight for sin and oppose holiness. You stand in judgment of people you do not even know! Your pride is in your spiritual failure, not walking in the victory of the Cross! God said not to do certain...

    Grace is NOT unmerited favor!

    For a doctrine to be true, it must be in the Bible. Philosophy and human invention is all you have. Yes, it is "fruitless activity" to say that Penal Substitution is Biblical. Don't check it out... the truth will hurt your pride!

    Grace is NOT unmerited favor!

    Exactly! That's why I oppose using philosophical inventions like Penal Substitution as a hinge-pin in which to interpret Scripture.

    USA riots

    Racism is the motive used to justify it, BY RACISTS, and is intrinsically connected to the riots. It is the "Not letting a crisis go to waste" policy of the Left.

    USA riots

    If anyone questions the morality of these "protests", keep in mind that these "peaceful" thugs are now burning Churches! When your peaceful protest of righteous indignation emboldens anarchists to burn Churches.... you become part of the problem. You have lost the narrative.

    Grace is NOT unmerited favor!

    Paul, writing to Christians saying, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." "Yet" "were" ... past tense is inferred.

    USA riots

    Remind me again... when is White History Month?

    USA riots

    Yet, if Trump moved fast against these ANTIFA Fascists, it would have appeared as attacking and persecuting his political opponents, and he would have been Impeached as soon as he did it. The fact is, it may not have happened quickly, but the tide is turning against this Criminal Fascist Anarchy.

    USA riots

    Yet, if we take this to its extreme while this just escalates, anyone who does not respond quickly will be seen as a Nero who played his fiddle as Rome burned! Should we just sit back and bask in our spiritual superiority because we do nothing as the Country burns? If something does not happen...
