    A solution to the race problem on the force.

    It would be wonderful if every police officer bowed the knee; not only alongside of the protesters; but in humble submission to Christ. If every officer on the force got truly born again, there wouldn't be a problem of racism on the force; while what I am saying may even be contested by those...

    intentional sins?

    I'm not certain that we as believers are obligated to keep the letter of the sabbath. Of course, the fulfillment of the ceremonial laws is that Jesus died on the Cross as a sacrificial Lamb. In one sense this means that we are forgiven of past, present, and future sins in that our relationship...

    A solution to the race problem on the force.

    I'm suggesting it here in hopes that someone who can do something about it will get wind of it and act on it. I don't really know anyone on the force; but maybe someone on the force is a Christian or someone who frequents these boards.

    intentional sins?

    I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to take a hold of His promise to the one who cries out to Him, "God be merciful to me a sinner;" but to each his own, I suppose.

    intentional sins?

    That's too bad; because if you did you would go home justified according to the parable.

    A solution to the race problem on the force.

    I do believe that if black officers are deployed against black perpetrators, that it will bring down to zero the possibility of crimes of prejudice against perpetrators by the officers in question. However, such a thing might be considered to be racial profiling by those who are opposed to the...

    A solution to the race problem on the force.

    And also, the solution that I have presented would make it more clear that the issue is not about race but about the frustration that police officers have with the people that they are serving (really the people that they are apprehending in service of those whom they are protecting).

    intentional sins?

    Of course when a man cries out to the Lord, "God be merciful to me a sinner" the result of such a request, if it is genuine before the Lord, will be regeneration and renewal by the Holy Ghost (see Titus 3:5). This would mean a changed heart so that the man becomes a new creature in Christ: the...

    intentional sins?

    There are laws concerning tzitzit and tallit and tefilin in the OT that I don't think any of us are able to keep except we become as the Judaizers would have us be...no longer Gentile believers but orthodox Jews. In Galatians 6:13 Paul writes that not even those who are stickers for the...

    A solution to the race problem on the force.

    I guess that, based on what you've said, that it isn't a black and white issue after all. It is a police brutality issue.

    God gives Power to become Rich. Gain Riches, Wealth. and Success.

    You can always look up the context of the scriptures presented.

    A solution to the race problem on the force.

    My wife suggested that it would be expedient for black police officers only to be deployed against black perpetrators when they are called in; and that white officers not be deployed against black perpetrators.

    How does the Theory of Penal Substitution Atonement necessitate the Cross?

    Except that Christ truly was and is God and therefore was not in violation of any law when He declared to the scribes and Pharisees of His Deity.

    How does the Theory of Penal Substitution Atonement necessitate the Cross?

    Yes; every verse that speaks of the word propitiation; which is defined as the appeasement of wrath. I think that you are being lazy; and if not you are attempting to make it harder for people to check out your story as a Berean. This is irresponsible. When I state a doctrine I almost...

    How does the Theory of Penal Substitution Atonement necessitate the Cross?

    You need to provide the references if you want to be taken seriously. Because you could just be mouthing off about scripture and not giving the true meaning of what you are talking about. In order that we might follow the Berean call (see Acts of the Apostles 17:10-11) you need to provide the...

    How does the Theory of Penal Substitution Atonement necessitate the Cross?

    It was not under the justice of the world that He died but under God's justice. As I said, He was and is without sin (2 Corinthians 5:21, Hebrews 4:15, 1 Peter 2:22, 1 John 3:5). So He did not die for His own sin; but for ours. In this the justice of God was satisfied; not the justice of this...

    How big is Jesus Christ now?

    Jesus is in fact come in the flesh (1 John 4:1-3, 2 John 1:7) and is also ascended to fill all things (Ephesians 4:10). It is in that in the Person of the Son, Jesus dwells in a finite human body; while in the Person of the Holy Ghost, He is Omnipresent. I suppose that, in a sense, He is...
