They do it all the time, when analyzed theoretically. Theory supports ideology and when public officials take public actions based on illogical and unsupported notions, it is from the theoretical perspective which supports our ideologies that we make such judgments. There's a certain ideology...

I'm beginning a thought experiment right now, to mentally substitute in my reading, wherever "the law" is instead I'm going to think "Old Covenant" or "Old Testament". I'm going to see if it helps clarify anything. Of course where Paul says "if a law" which abstracts the Old Covenant making it...

Granted. But you proffered a chart of hospitalizations, so I responded to that.

Exactly the point. Body of Christ = Body of Messiah!

Don't you think that the Body of Christ believes that Jesus is the Son of God and the Messiah?

John 10:35 " the scripture cannot be broken;"

Compare with John 1:47 " Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!"

They look at the tax burden and the government services offered by other democracies and they feel that by comparison we're 'greedy' and we should welcome paying something like 45-50% of our income in taxes. Big fight.

I'm not seeing the notion of 'losing' in anything she's saying; she's talking about 'walking away', not 'losing' anything. Losing faith maybe (and that by free choice), but not salvation. Which was his? @glorydaz offered up that since a believer's faith is Christ's own faith, that it is...

But it is a remnant no more of works. So what Covenant is that?

When I said hoax I meant it as shorthand for every possible way that the Resurrection of Christ could be fictional. The most likely possibility as far as I'm concerned is actually a 'suicide pact' including Jesus, John the Baptist, Judas, and all the Apostles including Paul. The motive would...

And yet there in the middle of it is this "remnant" "no more of works". Romans 11:5-6

What's your PhD in?

And this last part is so important. It's being humble and submitting to the Apostle here, in understanding exactly what passages in Hosea really means, and meant. The Apostles including Paul are the authorities for the Church in matters of Old Testament interpretation. A Nonpauline example is...

What's that work out to proportionally though? You've got 1367 hospitalizations for unvaccinated and 2656 for vaccinated, but what's the relative proportion of vaccinated versus unvaccinated in the population? 1367-to-2656 is almost exactly 1-to-2, so is that the proportion of unvaccinated to...

I think we need our ideologues to get to work articulating our political theories more succinctly because I just don't believe that we differ as much as we might appear to on the surface. I think we're 'talking past' each other in many cases. Could be wrong. There are way more just Americans...

My point was in the nature of the claims being made. "God exists" cannot be disproven, just analytically; logically (it's impossible to prove a negative). There isn't any evidence that can be discovered or supplied which will prove that God isn't real. For the Resurrection however it isn't...

So, didn't you just show that there is no 'Gospel' that involves works and lawkeeping? Viz., there is a Remnant "no longer of works."

And that would happen if you freely chose to stop believing, right? Is there some other way salvation could be lost while still continuing to believe in Christ?

Unless I'm missing something nobody in this thread is saying that salvation can be lost. As far as I'm concerned it's a dispute about 'losing' salvation versus that it can be walked away from, or that it can be given away willfully. Not 'losing' it. I'm reading you and Musterion saying that...
