This objections seems backwards to me! It is I who am reading the whole thing! How can you not read the whole thing, understand that James is specifically talking about how faith alone cannot save you and then come here and say that it's all about faith? Which is true! How is it that you didn't...

Both appropriately so, by the way. Abraham is legitimately the father of both groups and thus of the whole household of faith.

That IS too what James was saying! That is explicitly what James is saying. The entire premise of the book of James is about what it takes to get saved. He is not talking about sanctification but salvation! It is literally the theme of the book! NO! His own example proves this false... James...

The problem, Idolater, is that your "belief" amounts to lip service. It isn't the same doctrine at all really. You believe not only that works are required but that there often isn't even enough good works that one can do during this life to overcome the evil actions you're guilty of and you...

Good works aren't prohibited under grace, Derf. Doing good is still a perfectly desirable thing. It just isn't a prerequisite of getting saved. It's good enough to get you saved, Derf. It's good enough to get you saved. No one is suggesting that you shouldn't do rightly! No one is suggesting...

This is your interpretation but it is not what the text of scripture teaches. James and his followers were all "zealous for the law" and if it isn't works of the law then just what sort of works would you suggest that he is talking about? Acts 22:8 On the following day Paul went in with us to...

How is it possible for that effect to work from more than one perspective?

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Liar.

The argument that has been presented proves that it isn't 100%, it's zero! It cannot have happened. It did not happen! Given then that we are here and that life cannot have happened by accident, the conclusion then is that life was created. Here we are!

That is not what I'm doing at all. I'm using a computer to perform billions of random actions in an attempt to assemble a particular sequence of 26 letters by random chance. A feat far and away simpler than assembling an RNA molecule by random chance which you believe happened! Are you really...

I always imagined him hanging there dead until the rope or the tree broke and then he laid there, dead and bloated until he burst open.

I take you off of ignore long enough to read one single post! ONE POST!! I have proven to you that Paul cannot have been the author of Hebrews more than once with evidence that you have NEVER even attempted to counter. You are simply dishonest. You couldn't care less about the truth. I can't...

Well, Manuel seems to have not stuck around. I was hoping the the above would prompt at least a question or two but it didn't and so I thought I'd just take the next logical step myself, ask the question that my post above should have prompted and then answer it. Perhaps Manuel will come back...

It's annoying that anyone would think he would do that. What Elon is doing is all about common sense. It isn't just cutting for the sake of cutting stuff. Although, in this bloated heap of crap we call a government, he could almost just do exactly that and be just fine.

Anyone remember Strong Bad?

I agree that such record keeping is a terrific idea. History is always valuable to record and to remember. That alone makes this a good idea. Is the idea to require the king to make this record himself or could he delegate the doing of it to someone who's job it is to record all the official...

Always good to have new folks around!

Yes, you are wrong but not in the way implied by the way you asked the question. It's clear that your exposure to Mid-Acts Dispensationalism is somewhat superficial. You've come to the right place to fix that! It would be basically impossible for Paul to have stated it any more bluntly...

TRUE! I love it! It's just one sentence but what makes your post so awesome is that it is an actual argument that is directly responsive to the point being discussed! It is just pathetically ridiculous how rare that is to see from anyone who doesn't already agree with most everything I say. Keep...
