    Can you repent without works?

    I just noticed you're from Portugal. I suspect we've got a severe language/culture challenge going on here. My apologies. When you quoted Luke 20:25 in response to the word "Imperial" in the context of an American white supremacist group (KKK) I new there must be a systemic barrier to...

    Can you repent without works?

    Sounds a bit mystical to me. With a loose hermeneutical method such as you propose one can come to any fanciful conclusion they like. You could "give again" to the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and be within the will of God. Of course, that could be right up the alley of some who call...

    Can you repent without works?

    Are you quite sure that it's clear? Is to "give it away" the same as to "give again?" Is it possible to "give again" to someone from whom one has never received--such as the not robbed party? Could these distinctions be important for purposes of clarity?

    Can you repent without works?

    At the risk of being argumentative, I suggest that if reparation cannot be made to the person or family who has been offended, the priority in an offering of reparation should be made to the One Who ultimately owns both the one who was robbed and the property that was taken. I can't point to a...

    Can you repent without works?

    There is absolutely nothing in the context of the passage or in the Hebrew that suggests it is appropriate that repayment should be made to anyone other than the robbed party. It seems to stand to reason that some gesture should be made to indicate desire to make amends but what you claim to be...

    Can you repent without works?

    Are you not aware that the elders of Israel had fabricated rich layers of regulations to ensure that no one even came close to the edges of disobedience to the law of Moses? This is what Christ was rebuking them for and it's the very essence of the old covenant: "All that the LORD has said, we...

    Can you repent without works?

    Could you point to a verse that qualifies that as reparation?

    Can you repent without works?

    Doesn't Christ's blood cover his sin, tho?

    The Pre-Trib Rapture

    I'm pretty sure it'll seem long, tho. :)

    The Sacrifice of Jesus.....revisited

    You're just being evasive. There is no discussion here. You refuse to reconcile paradoxical texts. You cherry pick instead. Let me know when you want to talk with people and not at them. :) Again, Welcome aboard.

    Sorry for the spam. :(

    The Pre-Trib Rapture

    The voice of the Son of God calls forth the sleeping saints. Throughout the earth the dead shall hear that voice, and they that hear shall live, a great army of every nation, kindred, tongue, and people. From the prison house of death they come, clothed with immortal glory, crying: “O death...

    The Pre-Trib Rapture

    At midnight God manifests His power for the deliverance of His people. The sun appears shining in its strength. Signs and wonders follow. The wicked look with terror on the scene, while the righteous behold the tokens of their deliverance. In the midst of the angry heavens is one clear space of...

    The Pre-Trib Rapture

    The season of distress and anguish before us will require a faith that can endure weariness, delay, and hunger, a faith that will not faint though severely tried. Jacob's victory is an evidence of the power of importunate prayer. All who will lay hold of God's promises, as he did, will succeed...

    The Sacrifice of Jesus.....revisited

    That's certainly one way to go. And it gets my vote. :)

    Can you repent without works?

    First of all, this is absolute nonsense; the law of Moses is contained in the Word of God/Law. And the law is not delineated by the use of an l or an L in the Word, Itself. You need to get your "laws" sorted out if you want to communicate on a meaningful level here. And picking out little...

    Jesus Died for Judas

    I'll take that as a "no." You can't intimidate me with your hypocritical curses, tough new guy. :rolleyes:

    Can you repent without works?

    Are you sure? Because I think there's still some worldliness left in me.
