. . I really believe that if Christ were posed this question by some oddball (for the time) anti-Pharisee, He would have given the counter-question: Exactly how much sin is acceptable to God, if not -none-, and how much could I commit and still be your Saviour? :) . .

. . I'm a disrespectful, goading hypocrite—by contrast, you are a manly non-whiner. (I can't resist—GOADING?? Do you have any idea whatsoever how absolutely R-R-R-R-rich that is, coming from you???!!!!) . . . . This one's pretty dense: You're an honest, non-preening, smart, humble, admitted...

. . This post was not directed at you or your beliefs as far as I can tell. :) . .

. . God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican! . .

. . In real life, I'm not a hick deputy. I'm actually the captain of the largest cruise ship in the world. Everybody loves me and I speak 9 languages fluently. :) . .

. . What I don't do is rate my failings (which I confess only to God and to those whom I've offended) by comparison to others' behavior for self-justification. I'm sure you wouldn't do that, either. :) . .

. . Ah, yes, but it is only by the word of God that we know of the leading and fruit of the Spirit. :) . .

. . There were no chapter divisions in the original text. :) . .

. . The mark is not about economics—it is about worship, which is urged by economic distress and, eventually, the threat of death.

. . Not yet, it isn't. :) . .

. . Eschatology is not an entire theology. :) . .

. . Protestantism has been taking quite a beating in this thread, with no less than 40 posts containing attacks by the OP. It is not a denomination and therefore is not the second largest denomination in the world. It is also largely the means by which we have access to the Bible at all. To...

. . This kinda just sounds like garden-variety dispensationalism. How does the law or command of Christ differ, if any, from the law or command of God as referred to in, say, 1 Corinthians 9:21 or 1 Corinthians 7:19? . .

. . Isn't this kind of insulting and heartless, considering those who suffer horribly throughout their lives, not commensurate with their own offenses committed, B? You don't really believe people receive their just reward in this life, do you? You seem more sensible than to believe that. Please...

. . It is often urged that once a "saved" person begins to once again live a life of sin, it is because they were never "saved" to begin with, which means, effectively, that we can always fool ourselves into believing we are saved when, actually, we are not which is a useless basis for...

. . I sent you a PM with a link to the PM where we were both reprimanded and you promised to do better. Be aware that if you reply in the original PM, the mod will be able to see it. m

. . Folks who, somehow, consider themselves above the law of God will, no doubt, have no problem dismissing the rules they agreed to when joining a Christian forum. . . . .

M m Okay, answering the same post twice. Just wanted to see if you were still breaking your promise to the mods to try to stop doing the "Pit-Bull" thing. :) M M
