    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    You apparently think of Faith as something that applies only to the Elect few and is essentially a symbol of what had already been accomplished. But if it's claimed that Faith is meaningless or impossible for other people, then the New Testament Epistles has to be seen as disagreeing with that...

    However, there's no good reason to cling like that to the remnants of your claim against MacArthur. Not when the rest of us instantly understood the intended meaning, not when MacArthur isn't generally known to be a proponent of what you attributed to him, and certainly not when there is almost...

    Good Friday FAQ

    Indeed. If someone were to ask which religious topic has been the most thoroughly explored and discussed here, at least during the past few years, I think this would be the one that would come to my mind first. In addition, the matter was previously settled. I am going to guess that the...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Sure, but your contention is that it doesn't have any role in the process of salvation even if it is given.

    What Day are we Celebrating?

    I figured that it was Octoberfest.

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    On the contrary, it's saying that without Faith, there is no life. Your theory gives no place to Faith, but the Bible teaches the opposite.

    A flat tax system

    Yes, but there's nothing new about that. ;) It's already enshrined in many different government programs and not just with the federal income tax. That's right, and a flat tax system would have to have an across-the board rate applicable to rich and poor alike (except that, as noted before...

    A flat tax system

    Well, yes, but we can count on a single person earning less than $10,000 or a couple earning less than %20,000 (for example) to be exempted altogether. There is no chance of Congress agreeing on payment of a certain percentage across the board, and not exempting ANYONE at all on account of...

    A flat tax system

    How so? Even with a flat tax, I would think that some at the "very bottom" would pay nothing at all because there wouldn't be a tax bracket for them. Okay. Much depends on exactly how the flat tax proposal would be set up. It's very unlikely that any such proposal, as it moves through...

    When I read it, that is what I guessed he meant. Otherwise, the statement would be shockingly heretical and MacArthur would be widely known as some kind of cultist or fringe type to be avoided (which I do not think is the reputation he carries, whether or not we agree with all of his sermons...

    Frankly, it is possible to manipulate almost anything that is said about God if the reader focuses on one and only one possible interpretation of the words used. When we who come upon such a conversation involving someone else and then draw our conclusions without being able to get at what the...

    In the other place ....

    I didn't much care for the article ('Exposing the Idolatry of Mary Worship: An Overview') and that's for several different reasons. One is that I can't agree with including the lengthy introduction about Rastafarianism that has no real bearing upon our issue. However, there is a point that's...

    The limits of free speech

    They are private concerns, and there is little that can be done. It's clear, though, that most of the well-known ones are today simply mouthpieces for one or another political cause or organization. If this were commerce or manufacturing, there would be some means of regulating them. However...

    Social security and retirement

    Well, it can do so, but being the way government programs and legislatures work, there are only stop-gap measures taken by Congress until a crisis impends. They say that such a crisis will be reached in the next decade. Then some new taxing provision will be instituted in order to keep the...

    Much like having one's child in the usual way?

    Step aside when someone takes a photo?

    Absolutely! I don't want to mess up their photo, and I also don't care to be part of it in any case.

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    LOL Which one do you want me to consider to be "the truth"-- Christ was raised for our justification OR Christ was raised because of our justification?

    Why are so many catholic priests pedophiles?

    Well, I assume that the reason is that the higher-ups want to shield their church from a loss of credibility and also from the lawsuits. We can understand that urge, while not approving of it, but the worst of it may be the moving of priests who are perpetrators from one parish to another in...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    It's fairly easy to see how your theory departs from the Bible's testimony when you have to change the meaning -- or make it seem like two different meanings are saying the same thing -- like you do in all the above instances. 😒

    Religious beliefs

    Certainly. I can't think of any religion that doesn't affirm a number of different beliefs. I'm thinking that the question intended to get at some other idea, however. For example, a person considering himself to be an unofficial adherent of several different religions at once. I don't think...
