So is rape naturally occuring and found in nature. Doesn't make it morally justifiable.

Rush Limbaugh had a term for when the media does not report the news but tries to make the news. Drive By Media. This reinforces my observation that deception is the 1st sign of evil. I've come to the conclusion the gateways to evil are: in politics, "free" stuff, and in our personal lives...

"Occurs naturally" is how you'd like to dismiss the point. The ultimate moral standard is life. And no life form reproduces in nature by sexual deviant (homosexual acts). And this is why homosexuality is said to go against the nature.

The source of the nastiness continues to emanate from you, my friend. Projecting. @St. SteVen, do you recognize the difference between your posts and the post of @Big Boy Johnson? Let me explain. @Big Boy Johnson is making a statement about doctrine. Put aside, for now, whether you agree...

Yes, "we" must certainly did choose damnation! Dr. Phil is fond of saying if you make a choice, you choose the consequence. And "we" collectively, starting with Adam and Eve choose damnation. And "we" individually choose damnation by our choice to sin. People are so childish today, they feel...

Congrats.

Indeed I have found my Messiah and I am proud to be an unapologetic Trump supporter! Being in the top 1% of his supporters, I told him that I will stand with him to the end - no matter what end. I suspect the 2nd Coming will be before the end of Trumps 2nd term.

Incorrect. There is a difference between work in the ordinary sense of the word from "works" in the Biblical sense of the word. The analogy I make is that our action completes the circuit of God's love, of God's grace. He does not force salvation on us. It remains up to us to accept it. This...

OSAS is invalid, not only because of the Bible verses cited in the OP, but because it violates the scientific method of hypothesis testing. Evidence does not invalidate the OSAS doctrine! So, it is not a valid principle; more like a childishly naive wish to no longer have trials and tribulations...

Same was true of Adam and Eve. They were new creations. Yet they sinned. Odd that OSAS supposes we are the new Adam rather than Christ.

Agreed. Sadly, OSAS come up with rationalizations such as this. They parse being a believer, being saved from not really being so to invoke a kind of ex post facto. They deny one can be on a diet and then eat cake, indicating they are no longer on a diet. They say if you eat cake, it means...

It is necessary to forgive. One cannot be a child of God and hold onto resentment. This stops the joy, which is the fruit of the Spirit. It is up to us to complete the circuit.

I don't think so. I believe they are equivelent expressions, like born again and sealed by the HS are equivelent expressions. The context is sin is what separates us from God. Atonement is a necessity. To expect God to forgive your sins, while you presume to sit in his judgment seat and not...

Are you aware that many in the Bible were Anointed by God - not just Jesus? Sure, Jesus is THE Anointed but many others were anointed also. Even after David was Anointed to be the next king of Israel, he still had to wait over 10 years and endure many life threatening trials. To answer your...

Which is true. To say that nothing saves but Christ implies universalism is correct doctrine. I do believe the Apostles would be dumbfounded at the rebellious and childish mentality that we don’t have to lift a finger to be saved. I guess it is a reflection of the pervasive entitlement...

That’s enough.

Yes. If you do not love yourself enough to let go of the bitterness and resentment tearing you down, you have not followed the most basic command to love in the most basic way.

You are drawing an arbritrary line between the evil doing that is intrinsic from the evil doing that is not intrinsic. Christians don't do that.

So, rape and murder ought to be legalized, along with the entire criminal justice system? If not why not since such bad behavior can't be separated from an intrinsic part of themselves?

Ever heard of the fallacy of Ex post facto?
