    ^^^^That's a lot of halo's. How do I get those? :)

    Justification

    Yes. Completely. God uses law to show us the truth. Upon seeing the truth, contrition follows. I've experienced this many times. No one has left out God. Certainly not the one who has repented. There is recognition, and attributing of, the work of faith wholly to God. I, in faith, turn to...

    Justification

    Imo, I think who's "rendering Jesus a bad joke" are ones who aren't adequately understanding that no-one has said that the dead can save themselves. I think it's entertaining that the rubric of 100/100 is so often applied to other things in the Christian life (i.e. marriage), and with a hearty...

    Justification

    I'm sorry, but God did not repent for me. Having been given the gift of faith (work wholly of God - 100%) - one must "come to their senses" (100% - what "they" do). Please, no responses to my post about how Christ is not the Savior as a result, as there is no denial of where the gift of faith...

    And those he doesn't because he chooses not to. Like I said, a Godly coin-flip

    Justification

    What we're left with, then, is that what's is mandated is not possible. And such a thing is not plausible. In obedience to the word of God which we receive, we follow the mandate. Being given His grace, we are no longer considered "enemies" or "haters of God", but have been adopted by him and...

    At times that's how Calvinist doctrine seem to me. A Godly coin-flip. "For God so loved the Elect that..." oh, wait...

    iBot Poll: Do you wear your shoes in the house?

    I never really paid attention until we had a couple of bad winters in a row here, and from rain. I got tired of cleaning/drying up wet and muddy spots on the tile by the door, so now I take them off every time. It's one of those things that I never thought I'd be so conscientious about

    Yanny or Laurel?

    It's "laurel", but some people have manipulated the recording by varying the pitch, tone, and rate of speech. It does sound like "Yanny" after repeated manipulations. I tried to listen to a news piece about it on the radio today, but the guy explaining it was so dry that I couldn't bear...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 5

    I'd been using my coffee table for a TV stand temporarily (which actually suits that purpose well), and looking for another one. But I found a great coffee table on a 24-hour bidding site for cheap. The guy even dismantled it for me so I could get it in my car. So it's put together. Metal base...

    Justification

    The answer would be to rejoice with him first - "That is great news! How did you come to that decision?" Make it practical - be interested. However God has worked on that sinners' heart, He has worked! Acts 2 does not say that someone in the crowd "cut the listeners to the heart" it says "they...

    An honest request

    Josiah - First, I started this as a way to address some things that confused me as a reader (and appeared to be confusing others). To call something "narrow" would necessarily mean (to me) that it is very specific and tight - it has clean and clear borders. While the definition offered has few...

    Justification

    Well, the response from our Lutheran friend on repentance didn't go over so well with you, so I figured go to the source. I wonder if you gave it a fair reading. It did seem to answer your objections. Maybe not as you wished, but still...

    Working (on call) which is good. Gives me time to catch up a bit on the online training stuff.

    An honest request

    That's fair enough. I appreciated Josiah's response because it does give me a few more resources to go to. I would encourage that a bit more in the threads as well since (imo) sources are always helpful to bolster one's opinion - it gives me something to weigh it against. And, as I said, the...

    Perhaps this will help - It's been said that "Lutherans don't follow Luther", but it might be a good thing to reference him a bit regarding repentance: [indent]

    An honest request

    Thanks for responding. I'd asked in a thread and it wasn't noticed, or was skipped over, or... It just seemed that the phrase "Justification Narrow" is used quite a bit in your posts, but the "narrow" definition isn't quite so narrow. There are a number of nuances to it that, when unpacked...
