I can't resist -liking- your posts. It feels silly. You are on a roll, though. No undue flattery intended. :)

Does the context of Ephesians 2:8 support your theory? Can there not be divine grace imparted to those who exercise no faith? Why do we not all perish the moment we have our first evil thought? Does the principle of grace through faith truly mean grace and faith are hand-in-hand? The grace of...

This is incredibly good stuff, CL. How many do not realize that eternal life begins today? Millions. Always looking back or forward. We are seated with Christ in Heavenly places. Today is the day of salvation. :)

You're doing it to me again, FB. lol

Yes, yes. Prayer is primarily designed for aligning ourselves with God's will.

I see you're up to your old, vitriolic ways again. Why must you be so mean, BB? Are you altogether sure it is not you who should be ashamed?

Very good stuff, RK.

AMEN (in principle) But are we not all too often simply PLANTING and WATERING the opinions WE have the all-important right to express? In any case, The WORD says we should avoid contentious discussions, all the while contending for the faith. It is a paradoxical balancing act, to be sure, which...

Wow! This time it's ad hom mixed with out-and-out false accusations! Nice. :) As much as I want to avoid engaging in a verbal sparring match as opposed to an actual discussion, here goes: Please prove your accusation that my favorite "line" is "ad hominem." Not sure how to address this. You're...

Ad hominem and innuendo. Very clever. And predictable.

Why do we need a volume of 3/4 million words to live by, then? Didn't grace help a little, or did he get faith some other way? Grace was all he had.

If popular support is the measure of truth, Christianity as a whole is in deep kimchi. I hope we were born in the right part of the world. :eek:

So the question becomes: Is the Gospel mainly a matter of assurance, peace of mind, and joy? Because it seems to be all-important to many here. The arguments in favor of eternal security are definitely among the most impassioned you will find here on CB. The threads never cease to thrive. Has...

I actually couldn't care less. Politics ruin everything.

You should pray a lot (just read the Psalms if you run out of things to say) and ask as many others as you can to pray for you. And pray especially for your brother. Tell the Lord you're fed up with him, but you want to pray for him anyway. Brutal honesty can be very effective in prayer. And, as...

I drank a lot of what they called Weizen (wheat) bier. When I got back to the states, I found out it was called Weist bier in other regions of Germany. They always served it with a slice of lemon. I thought it was the best stuff since sliced bread at the time. Now I have a little non-alcohol...

There's always the expatriate option. You're just not thinking this through.

What if you get dead before you can quit? Why all the naivete'?

And me without my spoon

This might need to go into the kitchen sink forum (if we have one).
