J4J, the gospel is that “Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried , and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.” Christ, that’s Jesus. Died for our sins, that means He took our punishment so that we don’t have to take it. According to the scriptures means that the Old Testament foretold that He would be punished in our place. Your problem is not that you don’t agree with John UK. Your problem is that you don’t believe God.
God “hath made of one blood all nations of men” (Acts 17:26). While there are varying degrees of pigmentation, there is only one “race.” Segregation is based on pride and hatred, but those who advocate it will often try to justify it by misusing scripture.
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. - Romans 16:17 Just marking, QC.
Jim, one day you say Trump is not really a Republican. Another day you say he’s the head Republican. Looks like you’re lying again. What’s that now for you? 6,421?
J4J, one more thing, and then I’ll be out of touch for most of the day. Why don’t you ask Johnny Hunt if our sins were imputed to Christ, and His righteousness imputed to us? If he says yes, then you should either get on board with what he believes, or find another church that agrees with what you believe. If he says no, you’re right where you belong—with other unbelievers.
The wages—or payment, or penalty—of sin is death. Christ died for us, or in our stead. Jesus paid the penalty of our sins. This is simple enough for little children to understand, J4J. I know your church probably doesn’t sing traditional hymns, but don’t you remember singing “Jesus Paid It All” when you went to an IFB church? What on earth do you think He paid for? I don’t see how any saved person can’t understand this.
Thanks for your service, NeedHim. Christopher, in order for someone to be “still struggling with the old man,” he must have also the new man. I hope he does.
Who is this Berners-Lee character? Doesn’t he know Al Gore invented the Internet? That was back when Bill Clinton never had, you know, “with that woman.” Lying Democrats.
Jim, it’s obvious that John MacArthur and you either haven’t read or do not believe the Bible. God blesses nations that do right, and curses the ones that do wrong. You are an agent of Satan, Mr. L.
Good old Jimmy Carter. I thought we’d never have a worse president—and then Bill Clinton came along, and later Barack Obama, the worst and most wicked president in American history (and in spite of Cora’s posts about how smart Michelle is, Mrs. Obama is just as wicked as Barry). One more Democratic administration should pretty well complete the process of destroying the United States. You’ll like that, won’t you Jiminy?
Hellary Clinton said, “They want to be told what to do and where to go and how to live … and only given one version of reality.” Of course she was describing the unthinking Democratic lemmings who were so eager to follow her over the cliff in the 2016 election.
