    How do you personally handle unanswered prayer?

    Regarding justice from God, I always have to look at Christ. Was it just that He was crucified? Certainly not from man's point of view. He was not guilty. And even a murderer was set free in order to kill Him. No justice there. Even though it was the plan of God, was that not 'injustice' at...

    Founding Fathers = Christians or...?

    Just like the colonies at Plymouth and Jamestown were based upon the Christian faith, so were the rest of the colonies that would follow. Even Roger Williams was a staunch radical separatist Christian. His conflict with other colonies was not due to any liberal form of Christianity. It was...

    How do you personally handle unanswered prayer?

    I don't want to paint the picture that I am victorious in this always. Just like you, when it occurs, I go through the motions of anger, then question why God allows it, and sometimes get mad at God for it. It is not you missing anything. It's a normal reaction. Note the Psalmist in (Psalm...

    Why do so many oppose imputed righteousness?

    That noise heard is the crashing of 'impartation', as the third and last pillar could not support the weight of that legalistic doctrine. Stranger

    How do you personally handle unanswered prayer?

    This will occur in the world. It is galling to say the least, but it is going to occur. I just trust God in it. He sees it all. Whether I see a righteous judgment against is immaterial. I know God will deal with it in His time. Donald Grey Barnhouse once gave this illustration. I...

    Why do so many oppose imputed righteousness?

    No, you are not in agreement with what I have said. The many posts in our discussion are proof of that. If you are, then admit your false doctrine of 'imparted righteousness'. Admit your lie that the blessings in the Mosaic law are not part of the Law. Admit your lie that the blessings in the...

    Why do so many oppose imputed righteousness?

    continued from #(427) What of the child of God who strays off into the world, who sins against God and does not avail himself of confessing his sins to be cleansed. (1 John 1:9). Well, as has been said, he sins against the light. He does not cease to be a child of God but he places himself in...

    Why do so many oppose imputed righteousness?

    continued from (423) So, walking in the light has to do with us confessing 'our sins' when we sin. (1 John 1:9). Our Advocate, Jesus Christ, defends us justly before the Father. Our sins have been paid and charges are dropped. We are cleansed from all sin and unrighteousness. (1:7-2:1)...

    Was Noah “saved by grace through faith”?

    Well, I already showed you, so deal with post #(191) now. Stranger

    Was Noah “saved by grace through faith”?

    I said 'his faith was directed toward the coming Saviour'. I said, 'how Abraham understood it is immaterial'. I never said it doesn't matter what he believed. God imputed righteousness to Abraham when his faith was based upon the promised Seed to come. It didn't matter how much Abraham...

    Why do so many oppose imputed righteousness?

    continued from (419): Maintaining our fellowship with God is the key. The believer can walk in the light, or he can walk in darkness. But if we are walking in darkness, in the way of the world, then we don't try and say we are in fellowship with God. Because God is only light. (1 John...

    You're quite welcome. I will continue to add others as I have time. Stranger

    Why do so many oppose imputed righteousness?

    Concerning (1 John 3:7) Understand that first of all, (1 John) is written to believers to show us the basis for maintaining our fellowship with God. It shows the affects of sin upon the believer in that regard. There is loss of fellowship with God, and Christ and believers. (1 John 1:3)...

    Why do so many oppose imputed righteousness?

    No, there is no imparted righteousness. I have been clear. It is a made up doctrine by you. Yes, your righteousness is as filthy rags. Something you say but do not believe. What I have said is that Christ's righteousness is imputed to us. And, we have a walk whereby we can reflect...

    Why do so many oppose imputed righteousness?

    Which one? Your whole doctrine of 'impartation' is a lie. Herein is another lie. I have addressed (1 John 3:7) before. See again #(148). I have addressed it and your false doctrine of 'impartation'. You lied several times due to your repetitive posts. I showed you already. Must I show...

    Why do so many oppose imputed righteousness?

    I have never said that (1 John 3:7) is imputed righteousness only. Again, show me where I said it. You can't. I have come right out and said what your 'imparted righteousness' is. Again, you don't pay attention or are just so obtuse as to not be able to comprehend. Don't worry, I will...

    Founding Fathers = Christians or...?

    Just as Christianity and the spreading of the Gospel was part of the goal of the Puritans on the Mayflower, which landed in Massachusetts, so was also it part of the goal of the expedition to Jamestown in Virginia. Such goals do not ignore the economic interest and goals associated with these...

    Why do so many oppose imputed righteousness?

    I have said several times what I believe about (1 John 3:7). I haven't yet addressed it as destroying your use of it to teach your legalistic doctrine of impartation. Just as I did with your other two pillars, (Rom. 5:19) and (Matt. 5;6). Your response to (1 John 3:7) pillar crumbling will...

    Why do so many oppose imputed righteousness?

    Are you that obtuse? Just read my question. "Where did I indicate (1 John 3:7) is just imputed righeousness?" That is your claim. You have repeated it several times. See post #(393, 390, 384) for starters. So, as I said, show me where I said that. I know you can't because I didn't...

    Founding Fathers = Christians or...?

    Yes, the erosion is always taking place due to our sin nature and satan's efforts. You saw it even in Israel who had the very God in their midst doing miraculous things before their eyes. So, the same has happened and will happen to the U.S. But it is important that we know that our country...
