    Interestingly enough: Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. (Romans 11:22) But I can't help noticing that, in this verse, severity and goodness are...

    Let no man spoil your peace. Draw nigh unto God. All unrest is of the adversary of souls--not other people. Satan uses people--even Christian ones. They know not what they do. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the...

    @Addy I find the thief on the cross story to be one of the most inspiring in all of the Bible: To Jesus in His agony on the cross there came one gleam of comfort. It was the prayer of the penitent thief. Both the men who were crucified with Jesus had at first railed upon Him; and one under his...

    I missed that. I thought He taught that the unpardonable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, which I interpret as a final refusal to allow the Holy Ghost to convict of sin. Perhaps we're saying the same thing, but I'm not so sure... :) I'm not sure I understand the purpose of this comment...

    This is absolutely great stuff! Why can't you stick to it and not go off on tangents? The only thing I would say in mild criticism is that faith is not our "part," per se, because God even provides that for us. All we have to do is choose to follow Him. When we speak of faith, there is a...

    I sympathize with this situation. Really, I do. But when you combine it with this statement: It doesn't seem to add up. I understand that it is an existing paradox that has to be reconciled, but can you see how inconsistent the message looks? You may correctly say that these statements are...

    That is just horrific. I am sorry you've had to endure that.

    The conditions of eternal life are the same as they have always been: Perfect obedience to the commandments of God. If it were not so, we would need no Saviour. Jesus means what He says--not what we want Him to mean. The fact that we all have sin is no excuse for sin. Since we all sin before we...

    I quoted the very verse you're quoting to me now, BB. I made it clear that Christ is the head of the following hierarchy. It's like you reply without reading. Paul made it plain that all Scripture is profitable for knowledge and instruction in righteousness. You'll never get me to concede that...

    BB, you're a slave to hyperbole. What's Christianity 101? I don't find that anywhere in the Bible. Christ says we must live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

    I don't know why you're telling me to get real. I didn't say it. Jesus did.

    @Blood Bought 1953 Where are all these newbies and who exactly are these people who have never had God's grace extended to them? For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, (Titus 2:11)

    What is Freedom?

    I've found that recognizing others' flaws doesn't make mine go away.

    Sorry, but all threads here are left and/or right in some manner. I feel your pain. :)

    I'm flattered. I think. If addressing my stuff isn't a priority for you, then maybe I'm not such a heretic after all. :D
