    Salvation - Part 2

    Not all want to ignore it but some do. Some want to expunge it from holy scripture. That is an impossible to achieve ambition yet it appears to be the ambition of some. I was reading saint Paul's letter to the Romans today. And I got to wondering how "imputed" (a word found in the NKJV) came...

    Refugees and refuge.

    "The Lord was speaking in the passage you referred to in Obadiah to the enemies of Israel and how they were treating them when they went into exile." that's right. "It isn't the same at all." That's wrong. The lesson to learn is that God holds guilty those who harass refugees and those who...

    Refugees and refuge.

    Against Edom Obadiah 1:1 The Vision of Obadiah. This is what the Lord Yahweh says about Edom: We have heard news from Yahweh, and a messenger has been sent out to the nations to say, “Rise, let us go against Esau.” 2 The day has come: you now are small among the nations; you are utterly...

    Refugees and refuge.

    You're right, brother psalms 91. Walls won't work, as the USA and Israel have discovered and as the former East Germany discovered. Floods of refugees is also a problem as Europe discovered in 2015. So how does a Christian think the issues through given the example God gave in ancient Israel?

    Refugees and refuge.

    Obadiah 1:10-14 For the slaughter and violence done to your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off for ever. 11 On the day that you stood aside, on the day that strangers carried off his wealth, and foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem, you too were...

    Is white nationalism a Christian virtue?

    Calumny is a sin. The sinfulness of calumny doesn't lessen the sinfulness of racism. Racism is a sin. That is a truth that is unchanged by the mention of other sins. Goading others into a fight is also a sin. Nevertheless that does not mean that racism is not a sin. Racism remains sinful even...

    Is white nationalism a Christian virtue?

    Racism is a sin. That is the truth. Other things are also sins but that doesn't mean that racism is somehow cleansed because other things are sins. And if millions suffer because of other "isms" that does not lessen the sinfulness of racism.

    Salvation - Part 2

    The paragraph doesn't say that a perfect act of charity is what brings one to salvation. A reminder of what we're discussing: This disposition is followed by justification itself, which consists not in the mere remission of sins, but in the sanctification and renewal of the inner man by the...

    Which side is your bread buttered?

    100% tax is unworkable isn't it and no one suggests it. But a marginal tax rate of 100% for income over, say, $4,000,000 might be useful. It would discourage excessive pay for company directors and excessive profit extraction for business owners. Business tax rates would need to be negotiated...

    Is white nationalism a Christian virtue?

    These scriptures make racism impossible to maintain for a Christian. John 13:34-35 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."...

    Salvation - Part 2

    Since it is not my aim to discuss myself I shall set aside this question. God willing the rest of my answer may be helpful. A perfect act of love is described by our Lord, Jesus Christ, in Matthew 25:31-46. Saint James also describes it in these words (James 1:27) This is religion, clean and...

    Why not arrange the verses in Romans 10 in the order that saint Paul wrote them? :) Romans 10:1-21 1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. 2 I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but it is not enlightened. 3 For, being ignorant of the...

    The verse you've quoted deals with individual belief and individual salvation. I am pleased you raised the matter of individual salvation because it is something I can deal with in this post. Individual salvation The Council of Trent describes the process of salvation from sin in the case of...
