8For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
is salvation our own doing? is it a gift?
where does the responsive heart come from?
did you circumcise your own heart?
of course you did

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart.

And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh....

that's it?
that's true and wonderful.
but is that all?
Who's Love is it that provides anything at all scott?
where does faith come from?
anyways....not taking part in the debate...why not?
isn't this the entire basis for the evil accusations levelled against the reformers?
what was Luthers problem scott? the one thing he would not compromise?
Mr. Platis states the truth correctly. "It is God who saves."
is Mr. Platis any more correct than Luther was? cop-out.
throw luther under the bus. again and again.

Germany gave the world the Holocaust (Hitler), which is worse than any sin of slavery that America committed.
Joking about Transferring one's flag to a foreign power borders on sedition. We should be patriots and thank God for our American 1st amendment freedoms. In Germany, Protestants and Catholics were slaughtering each other all over the place.
God bless America!

1 Timothy 4
1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 3 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

sedition?
puleeze.
scott why do you digress into silliness when you can't answer questions?
i'm a citizen of The Lord's Kingdom FIRST and just passing through this world.
i'm not an american so i wouldn't be patriotic for the us anyways, and the kind of patriotism you're describing borders on idolatry.
america has committed the same crimes claiming God on her side as germany did.
on behalf of germans i take offense at your remarks. is a german today responsible for what happened in ww2? if that's your principle you as an american have ALOT MORE to answer for than any german citizen. and the list of crimes is growing.
one is hardly a "patriot" if they can't be bothered to find out what happened on 9-11 and simply give consent to the "patriot act" (torture and totalitarianism) in perfect orwellian fashion.
lastly, please study real history to find out what the german people endured BEFORE hitler convenietly showed up (or rather was set up). and who set him up scott?
and what was OC doing during all that (no need to answer, i already know...NOTHING)

The Vatican entered into a Concordat with Hitler, thus showing papism's worldly nature.
The Moscow Patriarchate did something similar in the former Soviet Union in 1927 AD. Thus causing a schism within Russian Orthodoxy. The true church of the Orthodox was persecuted; the Official Moscow Patriarchate compromised with Stalinism.

Dear zone, You should have a better sense of humor. Your jokes are not funny! It's not funny to change flags! It's just silling. It has nothing to do with trying to be citizen of the kingdom of God. My patriotism does not border on idolatry. I don't worship America. I'm just expressing my thankfulness to God for American freedom. You shouldn't put up the German flag unless you intend to move to Germany. Actions (ideas) have consequences. It's just irrational what you're doing with flags. Just as Strangelove is the one who started this irrational business, and he has an irrational image of Peter Sellers in this forum. Anyway, the Lord's kingdom is not of this world, so just changing flags doesn't make you a citizen of Christ's kingdom. But St. Paul was a Roman citizen, and St. Paul appealed to Caesar. Was St. Paul an idolater for teaching God ordains the powers that be (Romans 13)? God causes the rising and falling of leaders; if they disobey God's laws, they are removed by the force of natural law. Thus the Roman Caesars came and went because they were unlawful men. God bless the peoples of all the nations of the world and bring them into Christ's Kingdom, the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Amen.

Torture and totalitarianism? What planet do you live on? That happens in Islamic countries. When Western countries do what they have to do, it is self-defense. The enemy is not the USA. The USA are the good guys. The people who attacked the USA on 9-11-01 are the bad guys. Waterboarding is a minor interrogation technique. It causes no permanent harm to the people who undergo it. 9-11-01 caused permanent harm (death) to nearly 3000 people from 93 nations, not just from the USA, and some of the people who died were Muslims being slaughtered by other Muslims who don't represent the best form of Islam. The best form of Islam is moderate and law-abiding.
