I didn't say it wasn't, I said the Holy Spirit in a person causes them to go the right way. "If not" then they need to worry about whether they are filled with Christ. Richard Grenell needs a talk with God. Perhaps. Why? Because there are a lot of things that can happen between now and then...

Being in Christ, one that is in Him wants to follow Him. If not? There is a problem. People in Christ don't want excuses for sin, they want Jesus. Do you know the difference between an earthly kingdom and His? He said to pray for our leaders (not complain as much). We need to pray...

"Obedience" is a difficult theological concept, because it needs to be defined and afterwards, clarified as to the context. Obedience for the Lord Jesus Christ simply means 'listened and did.' For you and I, obedience is part of what we are able to do as new creations. We cannot please...

You might want to post titles that way, because, of course, I agree. :Z

It was given by Moses and Paul. Does it stop a bullet? No, but God does. I simply believe God. It doesn't mean if someone dies young, they were disobedient, it simply means as a rule, God makes a promise of long life to those who honor their parents. Simple enough without discounting...

There is no such thing as cheap Grace. It always bothers me when someone says that it didn't cost Jesus everything. Does it mean, however, that you can 'earn it?' No. Don't try, ACW, or it is works salvation. We can do nothing to gain His grace. It is freely given. If by that you...

Do you? I said 'obedience is a condition of salvation' as in, it comes with being in Christ.

Did you happen to read his argument? It is the talking point, regardless of emotions involved, so I totally disagree that emotions nor demonizing are impoverished of content. Some people need to be yelled at for being not just wrong, but harmfully wrong. She, is talking to him (us/we who...

Just as long as you agree. People in Christ are not under the Law, it is under them through Christ. By nature, you will naturally want to do whatever is in keeping with Christ. The Law is unnecessary. You can encourage, but if you try and tell someone they should 'quit swearing' it is...

I agree with you, but is missing this salvific? I'm not sure. A mistake? Yeah, but for me, not that huge of a deal if they are open to correction. To me, it seems an 'in-body' discussion and correction. As far as I can tell, it doesn't interfere with someone trusting the Lord Jesus...

You missed my post, Christ supersedes the law, thus the law is fulfilled incidentally in the life of a new believer. It is like breathing, if you are in Christ, He makes you like Himself. If not, question whether you are in Him or check that you are spending time with Him as your Lord and...

Ephesians 6:2“Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise), 3“that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on the earth.” 🤔

Dang it! Now I want pizza!

Which means "yes" that technically, it IS a condition of being a new creation. If you don't get that point implicitly, it is going to mess up your theology. ONLY new creations, created in Christ Jesus, are capable of doing what pleases Him. Romans 8:8 Those in the flesh CANNOT please Him...

Sure. It is the idea that if you are His, you do His works naturally. And? Are you HIs? Do you belong to Him? If so, you cannot help doing what He wants any more than you can stop breathing. A new nature DOES new things. As simple as that. Question is, do you have Christ dwelling...

"Yes, Obedience is a condition of salvation." What it means and what it doesn't mean: Similarly, 'you must be born again' is a condition, it is not a command. It MUST be met. MAD disagrees that 'born again' is the same as 'if any man is in Christ, he/she is a new creation' but the...

Knight on this list too, if I remember correctly.

Oh yeah, forgot about them. Good point.

It was the media that is really to blame, but whatever involvement we had in gossip and stoking those fires (and you certainly are culpable, less me, but I'll take blame none-the-less as a citizen). I may not have the ability, but it doesn't matter, I didn't stop it, you didn't stop it...

I think you do. It is Pavlovian, media driven. There have been 3 attempts + to draw some legal accountability. All of them agreeing that such is inconclusive. There were many people there that have no previous criminal record. Most in fact. What we saw 'we' collectively are responsible...
