MS wrote: I have posted this before but I felt after reading Dolores’ comment that a word in season was appropriate here. We witnessed to my RC parents for over 20 years and the only thing it seemed to do was drive them deeper into their RC religion. My Dad especially was quite angry with me and refused to speak of the things of the Lord.We continued in prayer and honored his wishes on the matter. Mom passed a few years ago and my Dad’s estranged sister came back in his life.She is also a Christian and lives in N .Ireland.With his new smart phone they started what’s apping face to face nearly every day and she began witnessing to him and he began to soften read his bible and even started to ask us questions about Scripture. Long story short, the Lord called him out of his darkness and called him to himself. He has left the RCC and is in a sound church in his small community. He is 89 years old.NEVER give up on your loved ones and friends. All praise, glory and honor to the Lord, who saves sinners young and old, male and female. Hallelujah what a Savior. Praise the Lord for His amazing grace!! Hope you and your family are doing well MS |

John UK wrote: Yes, bring it out, there's money to be made from it. Hey brother John would it not make more sense to say there are lives to be saved? Last I knew there isn't anything wrong with making money or even making a lot of it. The cost to research and develop the vaccine wasn't free. Your criticism seems out of place. |

John UK wrote: Bro US, I see that others of the highbrow variety, are also engaged in a similar thing. I am not able to wade through such a quagmire of intellectual stuff. But let me ask a question. Is saving faith a gift from God to elect sinners? If you say it isn't, then how did the sinner who got saved come by faith? Was it by convincing (showing him a miracle in Jesus name)? Or by the mystical power of the word of God (a living word which gives faith to some but not to others)? How is it that you believed on Christ but not all your relatives? Is the Spirit really necessary to bring people to faith? If so, why? Of course, if the answer to the first question is yes, then all the other questions are redundant. Thanks John for your response. At no point have I said that saving faith is not a gift from God. I am saying that is not the message of Ephesians 2:8 specifically |

John UK wrote: Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV (8) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: (9) Not of works, lest any man should boast. Similar to what St James said earlier, it is necessary simply to look at the sentence construction: what is THAT referring to? It is either:- 1. grace (that grace) 2. saved (that saved) 3. faith (that faith) Obviously we can remove number 2 because it makes no sense. We can also remove number 1 because we acknowledge that the grace is referring to the grace of God, which is God showing undeserved favour. Therefore, "that not of yourselves" must refer to "faith", which is the gift of God to the sinner; it is a work of the Spirit of Jesus, who is the author and finisher of our "faith". To those who believe salvation is the gift, well it could have been if the text had said, "For by grace ye have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God". But it doesn't so it cannot be. The Greek, which is what it was it was written in, does not agreehttps://hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/questions/2249/what |

Joel wrote: Who in the world is Kathy Vestal? Sexual Orientation: It’s Not a SinKathy Vestal November 19, 2012 General, LGBTQ+ 148 WHY AM I WRITING THIS BLOG? Homosexuality is the social justice issue of this generation, and I cannot keep from speaking out. The Church is wrong about this, clinging to traditional judgments that are increasingly incompatible with scientific truth, and incompatible, in my opinion, with Jesus’ life and ministry Scripture alone will not lead the Church to a full understanding on this issue. From the above article are quotes taken https://www.redletterchristians.org/sexual-orientation-its-not-a-sin/ THAT is who Kathy Vestal is. |

Mike wrote: Maybe you don't want to answer it, Jim. Trying to help you here Jimbo. Here is Mike's question Jim, which part of Barr's statement do YOU feel is untrue, and why (do YOU think so)? That would require an answer with no irrelevant quotes from other people. Here again is the quote in question “I feel today religion is being driven out of the marketplace of ideas and there’s a organized militant secular effort to drive religion out of our lives,” Barr are you avoiding the question because you are part of the problem? |

I pondered what was said and reached the following conclusions There is a Biblical principle that at the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses things shall be established. 4 to 5 people testified to BMac that her words were less than appropriate and she stuck to her guns, that speaks volumes Sister BMac has said or implied that my posts are consistently divisive and even deceitful. No one that knows me thinks that of me and this is not the common feedback I get here, so I reject that evaluation In light of what has been said however I will by the grace of God. Post less Give greater consideration to how what I say will be perceived |
