Are you trying to earn God’s grace?

I don’t pit anyone against anyone. I simply embrace the fullness of Jesus’ words in that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. As far as your question, it’s a double-barreled, nonsensical question. It’s like asking someone their thoughts as to why 2+2=3. The...

Scripture is quite clear time and again that we are saved by grace through faith. Now I understand our differences; you are a works salvationist; I proclaim the fullness of Jesus’ works, and our salvation is made complete by Him, and Him alone.

What you’re describing are fruits of the Spirit; they’re exactly that ~ fruits, not works. On another note, once you get to know me you will understand that I never have nor ever will proclaim myself sinless, past, present or future.

Neither do I. The magnitude of pain someone can inflict on another person can be severe and it takes more time and prayer to overcome. Perhaps to some that is considered work.

Epic observation.

Believe me, I have never proclaimed that I no longer sin. On another note, I love when you post the speed limit signs.

You’re saying loving and forgiving people is work? Under certain circumstances, no doubt, but as an overall lifestyle, not at all. And it seems as though you’re equating work with sin in your last sentence. Don’t be so defensive.

God is Love, and Jesus is God, thus Jesus is love. And yet Jesus, with adamant passion, denounced the Pharisees for always shutting out the Kingdom of Heaven against others. How is it you proclaim Jesus as Lord and Savior yet pigeonhole the very grace He affords to everyone who has faith in Him?

I literally just read 2 John. Anyone who wanders away from (Christ) has no relationship with God. But anyone who remains in the teaching of Christ has a relationship with both the Father and the Son. Obviously people derive from this Scripture that salvation can be lost. However, Jesus states...

I look forward to being proven wrong as time goes by and will definitely apologize.

You said formally saved, not formally forgiven.

Yes. Your flippant attitude does indeed tip the scales. When you draw the ire of a real gentleman such as PennEd, all the while engaging in snarky conversations with others, the onus falls on you. It’s fine by me; I’m the king of sarcasm, on screen and in person. I rejoice with with everyone...

As I said, it’s easy to see why living peaceably requires work for you. Doesn’t make you good, bad or indifferent. It simply is.

It’s easy to see why you’re unable to live peaceably with others without works.

If ever an oxymoron existed, it’s right there.

I’m simply meeting you on your level. Living peaceably amongst others does not require works. The fact that you don’t know that shows you have much to learn. I’m glad Jesus is your teacher.

Good. Then get to learning.

Silence, harlot!

You have much to learn.
