    Grace vs Legalism

    I'm sure that's a fine Theological hobby horse that many a seminary professor has gotten a lot of mileage from, but with that rule as a first you're going to have a rough time debunking any false teaching. I knew an evangelist who used to end all his prayers with: "Lord, we ask that You'd save...

    Grace vs Legalism

    The context of verse 22 tells a different story. All that need be done is to read it carefully. Galatians 3 21Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. 22But the...

    Grace vs Legalism

    Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. (James 4:17) This means exactly what it says, no more, no less. But to God, all sin is sin. And all sin must be disposed of eventually. No sin could ever have been committed without the immediate expiration of the...

    Grace vs Legalism

    Admonishment is not teaching. Now that is beyond brilliant. (I can't believe this needs to be quoted.) All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, (2 Timothy 3:16)

    Dare I ask this...

    The truth is the truth, even when a nut says it. Unless you opt for the genetic fallacy. If I were sick and dying, I'd want a nut to treat me, if that nut was the only person who knew enough, cared enough, or dared enough to get the job done. Just sayin'.

    Dare I ask this...

    With regard to the "novel" part, I found this video by a group called America's Frontline Doctors a day or so ago. Their website has gone dark and the video is being scrubbed everywhere. I downloaded it just in case it disappears. Not sure why. I normally don't give this kind of stuff much...

    Linux users

    I finally made the jump to a Linux-alone system about a year ago and after trying a few dozen distros, I settled on MX Linux. It has a Debian Stable base, and some very useful tools. The stock version uses XFCE for a desktop, but I've switched to KDE Plasma. It has lots more custom...

    This is real good stuff here. Eternal life begins now. Paul and Silas sang hymns as they lay (probably on their backs on a mud floor) in stocks. Joy in the Lord is where you make it!

    It sounds like: "You folks are a mess; you better hope I stay alive for a while."

    Ephesians 2 4But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus

    Just try to tell somebody the New Covenant is older than the Old!

    And don't forget the early utterance of the New Covenant in Deuteronomy 5:29 :cool:

    Yeah, and I might just dive in where the sign says "NO SWIMMING ALLOWED" if I see someone drowning. And then, of course, there's the odd ox or two in the ditch to be considered.

    I find your flair for the abstract intriguing. You remind me of my shrink. lol

    Absolutely not. Nothing could be further from the truth. I remember your post well, actually. At the time the replies were coming so fast I could barely keep up. I thought that yours was special and deserved more than just a like or pat response and that I'd somehow remember to get back to it...

    You win. I'm a heretic.
