Translation: He’s a sinner. He’s forgiven, but he’s a sinner nonetheless. Same as you. Like I said earlier: semantics.

Same thing. I quoted Peter because that was the scripture I was reading today.

No longer CONSIDERED sinners in the eyes of God, but still sinners nonetheless.

He proved himself a sinner by being prideful earlier today. God doesn’t take kindly to prideful people.

Like 18. Read it.

Not surprising considering you fail to acknowledge you are a sinner.

I would have no problem killing a cruel slaveholder; not then, not now.

I don’t recall any OT/NT figure being an abolitionist regarding slavery, yet Jesus is unquestionably the greatest emancipator of women in history. That said, my problem is that I’m looking at this through 21st Western civilization eyes and it doesn’t sit well with me. It’s great to finally...

I understand and appreciate your input. Please see post 11.

It benefited Joseph; one person among the multitudes. That’s a stretch.

She states quite clearly that if you are a sinner you belong to Satan, regardless if you have faith in Jesus Christ. IOWs she does not know or value the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Not to mention the fact that she throws many stones while living in a glass house.
