It's odd I think that one poster complains that Jesus wasn't mentioned or that some part of the verse was lighted upon rather than the part that says "In Christ Jesus". Another poster wrote about weeds, roots and a seven fold worsening of matters. Yet all that the first post observes is that...
I had a rather long and pleasant sleep last night. It is now 09:18 and I am awake
:smirk:
I listened to Messy's song (the Paul Simon song "call me Al"). I remember that song from the 1980s (I think). My mum liked a number of Paul Simon's songs.
Do you think every word in the book of Ecclesiastes is inspired holy scripture and if you do then what do you make of statements like these?
Ecclesiastes 1:2-4Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity.
What does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the...
John 8:30-32 As he spake these words, many believed on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed me from the law of sin and death.

For those who see radical separation between gospel and law the law of the Spirit of life in Christ appears to be an exception if not a contradiction of their radical separation.
Imprecatory Psalms, contained within the Book of Psalms are those psalms that invoke judgment, calamity, or curses, upon one's enemies or those perceived as the enemies of God.
Why are they in the bible do you think?
Psalms 137:1-9
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept...

For me the grace of God is unmitigated good news. The law of love is very good news indeed. The commandment to love one another as Christ...

Watch, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. Matt. 25:13
Take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For...
I am thinking that I can make a nice soup by cooking a couple of pork chop bones that I have in the freezer - having removed the meat a couple of weeks ago - and adding some chopped onion, carrots, potatoes, and a little garlic. With suitable seasoning.
I do not think that he said that. It sounded to me that he said that Luther was okay with it for a little while at the beginning and then was not okay with it later.
I am sure he got his statements about the availability of the bible in German wrong. The bible was available in German, Italian...
