It's all just endless hair-splitting over what affords salvation and what proves salvation. And straw men everywhere in between.

But isn't this bordering on saying that we should never be tempted and that temptation is sin? You know I basically agree with your view of holiness and that we should be steadily advancing in it. How can one advance if there is no room for improvement? I believe the spotless bride is the people...

Except that it isn't. What difference does it make, anyway, if it is God Who works in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure? (Philippians 2:13) All is of grace.

Meaningless fancy talk. Human works either save or they don't. Christ never spoke like this. And the texts that you guys like to beat each other over the head with are from apostles who were addressing specific groups which may or may not have had specific problems. Almost no one takes that into...

What a ridiculous statement. You must live inside everyone's head. Most new believers probably aren't even familiar with Romans 10:13. All of this fancy talk presumes that newly converted persons magically understand the Bible right away. It doesn't seem very reasonable or even rational to me.

All you're doing is bullying people by implying they don't believe Scripture because they don't interpret difficult passages the way you do. You're venturing perilously close to trollism.

A masterpiece of wordsmithing; nothing more.

This is what God will say to all those who pick and choose and use sophistry to spiritualize away the commandments which are not agreeable, traditional, or convenient for them to keep.

Does the Bible say that "the key is to be saved?" I'm always puzzled by this. It seems like a sweeping generalization that is fairly man-made. I thought that the whole duty of man was to fear (respect; love) God and keep His commandments (Ecclesiastes 12:13). Many will, of course, say that we...

Do you know ____ _____? Then You're disqualified from the discussion. My name is Taken.

Didn't they saw Jeremiah in half? Now, that's gotta smart! :(

That's for sure.

Did you mean estrogen? Really? You're going there?

You mean like the graffiti you put at the bottom of every one of your posts. Thanks for stopping by to troll a little (hopefully).

The OP was specific about the law being passed first in the U.S. Did you even read it? You seem to be misrepresenting it over and over again. The Pope is the head of the Vatican, which is a sovereign state. How could he pass a law in the U.S.? However, if you think he has little influence on...

What I'm suggesting is that if the devastation were vast enough, the plan to survive could be very specific and could center on worship. If you don't buy the Sabbath variation, you don't buy it. I believe it's already in the works. These two videos about the situation are very short. And...

You seem to think things would be basically the same and that everyone would have the same views and priorities as before. It wouldn't be because of the Sabbath. It would be because people will do anything for self-preservation. It wouldn't matter whether it was the Sabbath or a ban on Twinkies...

I don't think Jesus takes lols in prayer. Everything's a joke with you.

Employers can do whatever you let them get away with, unfortunately. I needed the job. And I've been fortunate enough to have good health insurance that didn't ask many questions.

Myself I would blame. But for others I would have to give the benefit of the doubt.
