    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Very well. By failing to bother with what the Apostle had to say in the verses that led up to Romans 5:10, you fail to understand that he's already explained that we are saved by the whole process of Christ paying for the sins of mankind AND our acceptance by Faith of his substitutionary...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    I invited you to read Paul's letter to the Romans, starting from earlier than Chapter 5, and I explained why that's important to do. As a matter of fact, I reproduced the critical verses for you in post #612, so it'll be really easy. THEN, if you don't understand the words there, ask me about...

    By failing to bother with what the Apostle had to say in the verses that led up to Roman 5:10, you fail to understand that he's already explained that we are saved by the whole process of Christ paying for the sins of mankind AND our acceptance by Faith of his substitutionary sacrifice. As a...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    That ^ is what has been posted in some of the messages here, but I was referring to other ones in which the poster insisted that faith did nothing because the person was heaven-bound already, thanks to having been predestined to it. Such was that person's own idea of predestination, but I do...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    ...which is exactly what some of our colleagues here believe and then tell us to believe it also. To be more precise about it, they believe that some of us are born saved and faith plays no part in that, but that others among us are born lost and have no way to appropriate the saving work of...

    Medical marijuana

    That was YOUR fantasy. I merely looked up the subject and found a lot of different articles that delivered basically the same information. I chose to link my post to one of them chosen almost at random. I was not about to go to the trouble of linking to six or seven different articles from...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    No one can be "reconciled" who doesn't need it. No one can be reconciled unless he's first "on the outs" with the other person. Get it now?? :rolleyes:

    Child rapists eligible for the death penalty

    In this country, almost nobody is put to death anymore, not even for first degree murder. That has to be considered when thinking about applying the "death penalty" for anything less. However, with the new Florida legislation, the point of it probably is to take a stand against the growing...

    I chose one article out of a number of similar ones that were published by a variety of different organizations. IOW, you lose.

    Medical marijuana

    There is no question about the fact that smoking dope is widespread and increasing. Our friend wants us to think that it's confined to one's own living room, but it was reported recently that in one large American city the stench of marijuana now continuously hangs over almost every public...

    Medical marijuana

    Well, I have to say here that I do not look at widespread drug use and its consequences as something confined to smoking a blunt in one's living room. You apparently do, however, considering that you come back to that one example time and again. (groan) In the real world, there are all manner...

    Medical marijuana

    All right. You said this: "If you think it's a bad idea you are, of course, free to act on that belief and not smoke weed." That comment supposes that what some people do cannot possibly impact the people who do not do whatever it is. Or else, you were meaning to say that it's just "tough...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    I see what your reasoning is, but you simply cannot reach a decision or think you've understood when you don't consider the whole of scripture or, in this case, not even the whole of this one book of scripture. You said that faith has nothing to do with it, but scripture says the exact...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Yes. And I already told you that your interpretation of the verse is in error.

    Medical marijuana

    Or a car on a manufacturer's test track? None of this actually addresses the issue. Well, there are other people we are also concerned about and who could become your victims. The person who might have stepped out from behind a tree or any kind of structure on his way to the mail box, among...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    That's a good start, so far as the basis for salvation is understood. But you missed the fullness of Paul's letter to the Romans by stopping your reading too soon. The thought he is explaining here is continued through to its conclusion in Romans 9, particularly in Romans 9:30 and 32. Here is...

    Medical marijuana

    Really? What ARE the circumstances under which a person can drive on a public highway at 100 miles per hour and not endanger anyone? And I'll bet that you will be able to MODIFY every one of the examples I offered until they bear no relationship to what I wrote or to the real world situation. :D

    Medical marijuana

    There are all sorts of people who "think" they can drive at 100 miles and hour because they are more alert than other people. And there are people who think they can refuse to pay their taxes because, you see, they feel entitled to decide on which laws they will adhere to and which they will...

    Medical marijuana

    I've taken up specific aspects of the matter as others here have introduced them. I also know that it would be wrong to cherry-pick the matter as I see being attempted by some posters who are more than willing to comment on what they think are the "good" aspects of some drug use while...

    Testing The Waters

    It's not quite like Communism or any other totalitarian rule; and that's because there is no enforcement of the rules you just enumerated. If a member doesn't like it, they can leave the church. They'll be committing a sin, etc. etc. so far as that denomination is concerned, but they can follow...
