What did you think of the new character from last night? What about his decision? I liked his arguments, but I didn't like his choice. Thoughts?

“Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.”
Romans 11:5-6

Here, Paul talks about “the election of grace”.

It is not the election of works.
It is not the election of grace + works.

It is the election of GRACE.

And as IF to prevent the error of thinking that election and salvation is according to (or based on) grace PLUS works, Paul continues his argument to say:

IF it is according to grace, then it CAN’T be according to works. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace!
IF it is according to works, then it CAN’T be according to grace. Otherwise, works would no longer be works!

"To grow a little wiser day by day - To keep my inner life both clean and strong - To free my life from guile, my heart from wrong - To shut the door on hate and scorn and pride - To open up to love the window wide - To meet with cheerful heart what comes to me - To turn life's discords into harmony

"To share some weary worker's heavy load - To point some straying comrad to the Road - To know that what I have is not my own - To feel that I am never quite alone - This would I pray from day to day - For then I know my life would flow - In peace until it be God's will I go." --Anonomous



"I would converse with Thee from day to day,

"with heart intent on what Thou hast to say,

"and through my pilgrim-walk, whate'er befall,

"consult with Thee, O Lord! about it all.



"Since Thou art willing thus to condescend

"to be my intimate, familiar friend,

"oh! let me to the great occasion rise,

"and count Thy friendship life's most glorious prize!" --Anonymous

That if we see a pattern of apostates jumping at every opportunity to subvert Jehovah's earthly organization, by our participation in either asking questions, that apostates will come to answer in a negative way, to prevent honesthearted ones from seeing the truth, and will use as an opportunity to post their dangerous websites,which has nearly stumbled one sister I know of, or by answering questions that may have actually been posted by apostates, that we should look at Witnessing elsewhere. Where we can make return visits and conduct progressive Bible studies.

Instead of risking any of our inexperienced ones, or even decieving ourselves that we are pleasing Jehovah by allowing ourselves to create a launch board for attacks on His organization.

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I know that Fundamentalists do not like to be bothered with actual "facts", but every once in a while I have to throw a few out there when I see posts full of errors.

Here is what the church teaches regarding grace, justification, and works:

CCC 1996: "Our justification comes from the grace of God. Grace is favor, the free and undeserved help that God gives us..."

CCC 2010: "Since the initiative belongs to God in the order of grace, no one can merit the initial grace of forgiveness and justification..."

CCC 1992: "Justification has been merited for us by the Passion of Christ who offered himself on the cross as a living victim, holy and pleasing to God, and whose blood has become the instrument of atonement for the sins of all men."

Psalm 46:10 says "Be still and know that I am God"

I know I need to be! And that is exactly why I remind myself of this verse quite often~

A woman is pregnant, then diagnosed with cancer.
Cancer treatment has a very high liklihood of killing or harming the baby, but without it she will most certainly die either during child birth, or within a few months.
Does it make a difference if her life expectancy is shortened to before the child is born/can be successfully removed?

I am horny everyday.. or almost everyday. I don't know what to do... I got saved and wanted to be clean... But, I can't help it.... I try listening to gospel. But, my hormones... I am 21 years old and at that age where hormones go up.... I slipped and masterbated a couple days ago.. & then I felt so bad and repented... I feel like I should just be married so I don't have to go thru this... But, I have no one I want to marry & I don't want to marry someone specifically just to take care of my hormones...

...apple trees, and looking over at Eve, naked, youthfully voluptuous, with her long silky hair draped upon her shoulders? Did he think she was a fox? Did he feel an irresistable urge to "be with" (don't you like that obtuse biblical term?) her? Was he leering at her? What was Adam thinking?

The Nile has a Grand Canyon, at least as grand as the U.S. Grand Canyon.... All the rivers have canyons...

Why do creationists say that only the Grand Canyon has a great canyon?

Is it a matter of the former beliefs having religious texts to back them up? Is it the age of the belief system...the number of people who subscribe to the belief? Or what?

Only a call from the depths can provoke a response from the depths. Nothing shallow can touch the depths, nor can anything superficial touch the inward parts. How does the verse in the Psalm touch you as a christian. How have you considered this verse in your pursuit of the Lord. Do we have deep roots in Christ. Do we have deep experiences from Him and with Him.
Share anything either related to the verse posted or of your experiences of the Lord.

Why are there physical descriptions of Hell? Fire? Isn't that physical matter still? Lava? Bones? More physical matter...
Is there really supposed to be fire and brimstone just like the stuff we make every day in a "spiritual hell"?
Demons? So you will be able to SEE them without eyes? And feel pain from fire without nerves?
Get my drift?
