Thing is this. I find it highly inappropriate and likely offensive to God to downgrade obedience to God's Commandments as a veiled insult in designating it as "works of the law". There are many many Christians who obey God's Commandments because that for them is now the natural thing to do...

Let me offer you a few scriptures about what God, through His Spirit, inspired the apostles to inform us what we should believe in order to receive eternal life. KJV 1 John 1:1-3 1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked...

Well, that's really fascinating. Because nowhere in post#68 did I say anything for or against the Trinity. In fact, it was a response to your question as to what denomination I belong to. You didn't read it did you.

And how do either of those posts of yours reveal how In post #68?

What specifically? I said a lot of things in that post. It's very easy to sit in your lazy boy chair and pronounce, "you're wrong" , while the government lights the funeral pyre under my feet. Of you really cared about my welfare and eternal destiny, I would have thought you would testify to how...

This forum does not have to conform to your church's man made dogmas. It isn't a Catholic forum.

In early Christianity, the beliefs that were held concerning God and Christ were very simple. God the Father was said to be the source of all being (unbegotten) whilst Christ was believed to be the only begotten Son of God. The letters of John particularly...

Given the backing, the means, and sufficient ego boosting I have the potential to become the next tyrant.

I think that true children of God, the ones genuinely empowered by the Spirit of God, do good because it has become inherently natural. Of you do good works too earn heaven, it's selfish and unnatural. If you're doing good to look the part, its selfish and unnatural. If you're doing good because...

Being one of the above, or not, a Christian does not make. A Christian is he who has received the power of God through the Spirit of God that he/she might become a child of God. That power enables one to live a sanctified holy life and causes him/her to grow in his relationship with God, each...

There's more than one?

That's what the Victoria government is saying. They know, even confess that the vaccine cannot stop the spread, yet blame the current spread on lack of vaccines. This increased case numbers is therefore the federal government fault. SCOMO. it's so his fault. So contradictory.

Lol. You're really having trouble with my question eh. You testify to the grace of God... Yet deny it to others. And you can't explain that disharmony. You thought to refer me to scripture for an answer. Okay. KJV Luke 18:9-14 9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves...

The Bible does explain why God is gracious to you, but you aren't gracious to others. It means you need to be converted.

No. I know God better than I know you. I'm asking you... It's you I don't understand.

I am very blessed to have an employer who paid me fully throughout the months of the last lockdown. It will be the same with this. I thank God for being so gracious to lead me to this job three years ago... Just in time. But as you say, it doesn't make the lockdown any the more logical or less...

I believe you. But you do so only in so much as your church agrees with what scripture is saying. Your church teaches that only her interpretation of scripture is the reliable and correct way. If your church taught that black is white, you would believe your church. The Bible in any teaching...

I agree that Protestantism never fully extricated itself from Mother. The Catholic church boasts of the trinity as the central doctrine of her faith, and all other doctrines emanating from it. But let us not throw everything aside in order to prove we are free from the papacy. You will never...

How is it that your avatar speaks of the grace of God toward you, but you have difficulty extending that same to others?

@MatthewG So what this guy is saying is that we judge the Bible based on whether we think the person reading it is good or evil. He has it backwards. The word of God is the final arbiter and judge of good and evil. Now sure, the scriptures can be misused and abused. As Peter said of Paul's...
