    I'll take grace over faith (you know, your hidden half of "Nothing But The Blood" :p) any day. All is of grace. ;)

    Human bias sure does make for hard communication.

    Don't forget Romans 2:13: For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

    You're talking about variance. A paradox isn't a paradox unless there's harmony underneath. Is the glass half empty or half full? Amen! Okay, so you're just saying. I don't know why, though. I have no affinity to circumcision. Who's we? You think it's self-evident because you've been raised...

    No. Because there are 3/4 million words in the average English Bible which evidently features division of truth that must be done rightly. There are enough profound paradoxes found in Scripture to keep the mind of a mega-genius busy for a million years. There's light and then there's...

    I've got an idea for a fun exercise. Try to find a text that sounds as forceful as these regarding the keeping of one of the ten commandments.

    Again, straw man. Just because some would rather hear nothing of the necessity of obedience, that does not mean those who would are oblivious to the sublime benefits of being justified by faith. According to the Master, however easy and light they may be, there is a yoke and there is a burden.

    We all have a tendency to read into the Bible what we need to justify and preserve our established opinions. None of us are immune to the condition, however convincingly some are taking the high road. This seems like straw man territory to me, my friend. Those of us who advocate obedience to...

    I thought legalism was the belief that one can earn one's way into Heaven. Seems like a big difference to me. Oh, well.

    BB, this makes no sense at all. "Nothing But The Blood" can't be 2 things. It's not logical. It doesn't matter what I think. Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:48) Jesus says the goal is perfection. I can't lower His standard to mine. Were...

    Sorry, FB, normally I agree with you, but I think the whole (to put it bluntly) anti-denominational movement is born out of a bad rap. It's a genetic fallacy of sorts. Anyway, I think these discussions would be a lot easier if modern evangelicalism wasn't so overwhelmingly obsessed with "being...

    You mean the one we're supposed to lay aside? Please tell me you're joking. Because you can't possibly not see how warped this is. It's like the angels saying, near the beginning of their creation: "Well, Lucifer has to fall and spread the sin disease to earth--otherwise the plan of salvation...

    I'm not saved. I'm still here. I've been born again, though, and Christ has undertaken my case, and He Who has begun a good work in me will be faithful to complete it. It is my heart's desire to endure to the end, and be saved. I still struggle with sin, but no man can pluck me out of His hand...

    I strongly suspect we're not as far apart as you might think. And I think it means the world that you like me. I like to be liked. I'm pretty fond of you, myself. :)

    Not at all. I just believe there's a difference between living in sin and struggling with sin. Is that luxury you just won't allow me?

    Was there no mouthpiece during the year between Christ's ascension and Paul's conversion? I heard Peter and James were doing excellent work. :D
