So I was wrong about you when I said you appear to have a very strong passion for the Word?
What this is actually all about is that you are as poor at receiving any negative about you as all the other fools on here are, who are ever looking down their noses at you and spitting on you for your not agreeing with their ever grace-less gospel of grace.
In contrast, I defend your right to your say, and I publicly agree with you where I find I agree with you, and I publicly concede your obvious love of the Word.
Your problem is that I also call you out where I don't agree with you on something but all you ever want to hear - just like the ever grace-less gospel of grace frauds on here ever spitting on you - all you ever want to hear is the positive about you.
Not gonna happen, GT - unlike those frauds, I am only fair with you because I am being objective.
You will just have to take the good with the bad.
In short...
Galatians 4:16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
Apparantly so.
Nevertheless, Romans 14:5 towards you, in memory of Romans 5:8 will remain my decided, stedfast attitude towards you, in general.
Because Romans 5:8.
In other words....
2 Corinthians 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
THAT is what I ACTUALLY DECIDEDLY think of EVERYONE I deal with.
For there but for the grace of God, go I, as well.
Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Again...
Galatians 4:16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
If that is what you think, then so be it. That is your wonderful perogative.
Nevertheless, Romans 5:8
