    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    In other words, the Atonement was for mankind, as opposed to being applicable only to some Elect few. Also, that this does not mean anyone was guaranteed salvation then and there, but just that they had been absolved of the sinful condition that all mortals were in prior to the Crucifixion.

    What about the Sermon on the Mount? John says you don't have God without it.

    So...the Savior didn't need a savior himself for the reason that he was God. Got it. Not exactly what you asked about, though, was it? Who's going to be in the position of being able to do what only God can do (and able to offer that opportunity) when I'm God myself according to your question?

    Not permitting a woman to teach...does that include hymn writing?

    It's necessary to be very specific when speaking about these matters. To teach doesn't automatically mean to be a priest, even if priests do teach. And while there were women who engaged in a range of important duties in the early church, there were no women deacons, priests, or bishops, which...

    USA The death penalty is 'immoral'

    I think I lean that way, too. If there is some emergency which might seem to justify an executive order, it follows also that the legislature wouldn't fail to act under the same conditions.

    What about the Sermon on the Mount? John says you don't have God without it.

    You're asking a hypothetical question, in as much as every human since (and including) Adam has needed a Savior. Anyway, you ask if I wouldn't rather be the kind of person who doesn't need a savior, and sure, I suppose that I would...if that were possible. It's sort of like asking if I wouldn't...

    USA The death penalty is 'immoral'

    Well, that's not what Executive Orders are supposed to handle, and in any case, the abuse of Executive Orders dates only from the beginning of the current administration. This would be the best time, therefore, to put an end to it before any tit for tat takes over. That is the case basically...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I hope the thread is closed now. The Scripture clearly "beats" the rationalizations. :)

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Incidentally, I've read you wondering in print why not all of your questions and propositions get answered. The answer is that people tire, after awhile, of reading smug, flippant, snarky, and deliberately insulting language that is as prominent in those posts as are your reasons for thinking...

    What about the Sermon on the Mount? John says you don't have God without it.

    Of course it is. Otherwise, no one would get to heaven, Atonement or no Atonement! First, you have no basis on which to say that they will continue to fail in the next (life). None. Second, the Sermon on the Mount is Christ teaching and exhorting his listeners. Regardless of what speculation...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    That's the theory, all right. It's not the proof--or anything even close to it--that was requested. THIS, you imagine to be some sort of substantiation for your belief??????? And as for Romans 8:39, it reads as follows: " Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to...

    Jesus born at thy birth

    It could be that the version did say what you thought you heard, but I doubt it and cannot find any example of it online, so maybe it was just one of those things that tricks the ear. It reminds me of that other line from Silent Night that has been rendered "Round John Virgin, mother and...

    USA The death penalty is 'immoral'

    I have no important reservation about what you've written. However, I'd like to note that the two parties, while having internal factions and special interest groups, do control, to a considerable extent, the ability of anyone to seek election and, also, to function in office after election...

    USA The death penalty is 'immoral'

    We were all raised with the view that the British system is all wrong because it's unstable, etc. But the Parliamentary system is beginning to look a lot better lately, isn't it? For one thing, rule by edict (i.e. issuing executive orders in place of legislation) is fast becoming routine in the...

    USA Biden signs gay marriage law

    Well, sure there is. For one thing, society still thinks in traditional terms of some situations being more appropriate than other ones, and this perception is rooted in our society's history. And that is what the radicals who want a different society need to overcome. However, if someone is...

    USA Biden signs gay marriage law

    Unfortunately, that's not likely, given that they have gotten away with legalizing, usually by fiat, a new electoral system in which non-voters can vote, votes don't need to be recorded at any particular time either before or after Election Day, any Party worker can round up votes from unknown...

    USA Biden signs gay marriage law

    It is that way in your own mind, you mean. As soon as the concept of marriage is completely unhitched from its historic meaning, a lot more than authorized cohabitation with a person of the same sex will have been accomplished. Polygamy will instantly become illogical...in the new way of...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Well, here's 19, and I don't think it changes anything. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. Or it was an honest mistake. After all of this, you have a theory and...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Since you ask me personally, I am of the belief that when we read further into that same passage we find the answer. 17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    It was a quick example, not meant as the only possible one.
