Please don't! You are a wonderful addition to CyB. I beg you to simply be more discerning in what forums you invest your time.

Agreed. Claims of objectivity are nearly always wrong when human systems are involved. A wise person will admit their bias. This is more difficult in our false 'equality' era. For instance, Rush Limbaugh earned my respect by not claiming to be biased. He admitted he will interpret the facts...

I think you are reading your doctrine into the text. There is a difference between being sinless from not having your debt sins held against you but washed away.

It all comes down to EGO on both sides of the argument. +Work: risks boasting our work is how salvation was obtained. Faith Alone: risks doing the least we can to further the kingdom of God. In my line of work, it’s all about risk mitigation. ALL scenarios inherently have 2 types of risk...

A is A. Righteousness is righteousness. The point about filthy rags is not to say we are without this attribute absolutely. Rather, it is a relative comparison of human v divine. So, in conclusion: Do humans posses righteousness? YES (even though this human righteousness compared to divine...

I think the question has a lot to do with whether or not you recognize there are 2 groups of people being referred to here, a righteous group and a holy group or not? Consider how Rev 22:11 (CEV) reads: good people will keep on doing right, and God's people will always be holy. Agreed. The...

There is a difference between, "I don't understand" and "This is nonsense." A friend was fond of saying to his mercurial teen age daughter: You are driving down the highway 50 mph, Your left front tire falls off, How many pancakes does it take to build a dog house?

This makes no sense. Hunter is Joe’s Son in the sense that He is Joe made manifest in human form.

Show us how.

Spot on. Jesus did not say 'If you love me, you will let me and my heavenly Father take care of all your worries.' We have lots of work to do and it is our tendency to worry about what needs to be done. The most common command of the Bible is some variation of "Don't Worry." However, this is...

We need to meet people where they are, what they know.

Woah. Strawman. I never claimed I am unique. One way you know I am not an IDOLATOR is I don’t say things like, if you don’t read my translation or hold to my doctrine, you cannot be saved.

Do drug addicts IDOLIZE their next fix?

Oh. How can one verify the fact that Christian’s do not idolize the Bible or their doctrines?

I get it. You deny many Christians are Bible IDOLATORS. You’re not making an argument, just a denial.

You bring up an interesting debate tactic. Do you accept the terms of the other person (tyrant) or do you introduce the full spectrum of appropriate terms and senses of words, e.g., love and tyrant? (One could argue that God, being the lawmaker, is not possible for him to act outside his own...

If you cannot discernt he contempt in the post, so be it. HINT: The unforgivable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit of God. Implying that God asks too much of us might qualify. Calling God a tyrant might qualify as it surely is pejorative. Someone who was grounded in loving God as the...

Yea, to read and understand, not to turn it into an IDOL.

Hmmm. I don't think that is quite right. Philosophy and science ask questions. Christianity provides answers. Regarding what Jesus said at Luke 10:26. Some translations end with the question, how do you understand it. Jesus was a rabbi, a teacher. Teaches teach answers, not just questions. The...

An extremely hate-filled, ego-centric response! Yes, God is a tyrant. It is his way or the highway. See Proverbs 14:12. Being a petulant servant is no way to win the favor of your lord. 'I'm loyal. What more does he want?!' Indeed. See Matthew 25:14-30. Paul explains that everyone is a slave to...
