(Matt. 22:36-39) is nothing but law. So, yes, we as Christians do not try and please God by keeping the Law. In fact, God will not be pleased with you trying to please Him by following the Law. Again, a rewording of 'grace' to make it sound repugnant. Did I say the believer under grace is...

I prefer the believer keep on walking in the Spirit method. Sin and all. I despise those who seek to place a believer under law, to just quit sinning, and then glory in their obedience to the law, when they deceive themselves that they have kept the law. Stranger

Your definition of 'grace' is not grace at all. It is nothing but law. Sinning against God and having an attitude of sinning all I want because I am now saved is not the same thing. And you expressed the attitude of the Christian who believes he cannot lose his salvation as believing he...

No, you find pleasure in taking credit for one not sinning. Such a nauseating approach. Stranger

See Josho When Christians become too spiritual to vote there is nothing you can do. When they expect God to do everything without them doing anything, there is nothing you can do. The bless and praise God for their food, yet they work to obtain it. God blesses with freedom, yet they refuse...

And how many Christians stayed at home and didn't vote because they said God's will be done? How many Christians are allowing their countries to be turned over to atheistic liberalism because they don't believe they should get involved in politics? Christianity has willingly turned over...

I did answer you. I said, share away. Just don't complain when the arguments heat up. See (Acts 15:36-41) Yes, you are wrong to complain of heated arguments when that is to be expected on a forum. I have always said a forum is no place for a new believer. You must first be grounded...

Wow.... I always listen...and read very well. Oh...a false alarm...ok...whatever you say. Make whatever point you like. Stranger

Indeed. I am the same. My team may be a contender, and I love football, but the NFL has destroyed my desire to watch. It isn't there. No doubt the shoplifters are not sorry for what they did. They are just glad to get away with it. That is the state of American sports these days. Stranger

My how we like to reword grace to appear repugnant to everyone. Because I believe we are saved by our faith and declared righteous by God, forever, then I must be saying we can disregard anything else God says to us. I must believe that it is ok for me to just sin all I want because I am...

Where did I say they may not be important? Stranger

Again, you are mistaken. (Gen. 15:4-6) is clear that Abraham was declared righteous due to his faith only. You say you are not talking about being saved...but you are. This whole discussion is about losing ones salvation. For example, had Abraham refused to offer up Isaac, he would still...

Sometimes dreams are just dreams. But God does use dreams at times to emphasize something He is doing in our lives or even forewarn us of things that are to come. If the dream is from God, then God will bring something into your life whereby you will see the understanding or importance of...

You're welcome. You speak of 'Trinitarian' bias in other translations, yet you yourself have an anti-trinitarian bias from which you play with the Greek words. In (Philippians 2:5-6) distinction is made between "being in the form of God" and "made in the likeness of men". Jesus was not...

Oh, so the only English translation that should be considered, is yours? Stranger

Years ago, I was in college. Just married. Hard times. I dropped out for a semester to go to work after completing maybe 2 and 1/2 years. It was a small college and we all new each other and the teachers. One day I stopped at the grocery store for some things. I saw in the distance...

Since your translation cannot be considered accurate, why should your denial that Jesus is God be accurate? Stranger

You brought it up. Not me. If you are not called to heated debates, then you should not be on a forum. You need to understand where you are. You can love everyone if you wish. But don't complain about heated debates and hurt feelings. Support your statement that we are called to...

Appreciate your encouraging words sister. Stranger

This is not true. In (Gen. 12:1-3) God said 'do' to Abram and Abram did. (Gen. 12:4). Did Abram have faith in God at this time. Of course. But God did not choose this event as the time to declare Abram righteous. Why? Because God did not want a 'works' salvation. So, God let Abraham...
