My main point was (which I don't see you addressing) ...
"True, but only the remnant will not trust the arm of man.."
The remnant being all the 'called' from every tongue, peoples and nations. Echad, one people. IOW, those born again, who have a heavenly kingdom (without an earthly ruler)...
True, but only the remnant will not trust the arm of man...
Romans 11:4-5 NKJV
But what does the divine response say to him? "I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal." [5] Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election...
"By faith" are the words Mr. Bright would have to answer, but he is so ALLERGIC to that word, he couldn't spew it out, but rather threw back a question to me instead (post# 1143).
How do we 'receive' something that is objectively true?
By hearing or by seeing?
Romans 10:17
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
Luke 17:20
Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of...
The cry of the Reformation, "justification is the article by which the church stands and falls.”, would be turned into a whimper, to Rome's glee, if @brightfame52 had his way.
Oh I got the meaning alright, but my giphy wasn't intended your way, but had 'Mr. Bright' as it's intended target, sorry for the confusion.
I'm also sorry for the misquote. Wait! It was actually a confirmation of what you were saying...Mr. Bright is scripture twisting.
Yes, since you believe the whole world is objectively justified before God, then it would follow that Justification from sin is prior to Faith in Christ. That's just building on (what I believe is) a false premise though.
In the summer of '63, (14) I worked as a dishwasher in a trucking cafe; in summer of '65 (16), I worked at DCASR (Defense Contract Administrative Services Region), stocking/warehouse. In '66 (still in high school) part time boxboy at Safeway and at 19 (1968-69) I worked weekends as a...
I hitchhiked several times between Central Wa. and So. California, even stoned out of my gourd in Mexico on my way to Guatemala, (that was, as @Ammi said in the '70's). That was then, this is now. I also picked up hitch hikers if and (hardly) when I had a vehicle.
Today? No way, Jose!
'Back in the day', it meant ex-communication or burning at the stake. But I wouldn't be part of a denomination that would 'do God's work' in the way of burning 'heretics'.
When our legs stumble
When our knees buckle
When our organs malfunction
When our lungs fill with fluid
When our ears hear nothing more
When our tongue no longer employ
When our eyes cannot steer the course
When our hair cannot be found
When our heart pumps no more
When our flesh falls to the...
