You then continue on by quoting from Psalm 94:16, which reads, “Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against those who practice iniquity?” … Lucy, I don’t know if you ever will do so, but I do know that I am standing TALL against “the wicked” right this […]
“You can judge me all you want, Scaughdt. I know what Jesus commands of us and how he wants us to live. He is very clear in his Word.” Hmmm … Do you really know how Jesus wants you to treat homosexuals, my Friend? Maybe so, of course, and yet you have to admit […]
“I carry the Peace of Christ with me always!” … Lucy, my dear, “carrying the Peace of Christ” does not mean feeling good about yourself because you have called out the sins of others and thereby ignored your own, nor does it mean feeling all warm & fuzzy because you know that you & yours […]
Lucy: Is it the will of the Father to live in your sin??? … “We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the Evil One does not touch him.” (1 John 5:18) Scaughdt: Well Lucy, I’m pretty […]
“When Jesus was talking to Nicodemus, he used an illustration Nicodemus could easily understand. A newborn baby entering its life was a perfect illustration of a person beginning a new life with God … Jesus called it being ‘born again’ — a new birth. He also called it being ‘saved’.” Well, actually, as I […]
You then quote Luke 5:31-32, where Jesus noted that he “came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” This was indeed the case, of course, and yet just who were those sinners, Lucy? Who was Jesus referring to in this verse? Was he referring to those who didn’t worship him as the […]
“The way back to God is to acknowledge our need of a Savior and to accept what Jesus Christ did on our behalf.” Actually my dear, even though Jesus would humbly agree with the second part of this statement, he vehemently disagreed with the first – and thus vehemently disagreed with Paul, from whom […]
Thereafter you cite Romans 10:13 to say that, “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved”, and yet you neglect to mention that Jesus made it very clear how we were to do so – that he made it very clear how we are to “call upon the Lord” – namely, […]
In closing, my Friend, it is an undeniable fact that there are many different, equally valid opinions about the Scriptures – not only what their individual verses mean, but also what the “correct” theology is that is contained therein (along with what the actual Will of God entails thereby) … One alternative is found in […]
You then use Luke 17:3 to further muddy the waters of this discussion … I must admit, my Friend, I was wondering when you were going to get around to citing this verse, and I am frankly very thankful you have finally done so. After all, while it does appear to be the only place […]
“God knows that there will be (and already are) people who come up with their own doctrines of truth and then find Scriptures to support that personal agenda.” YES there are, Dan, and Paul was one of them (with the doctrines of “original sin” and “redemption by atonement” being two of his personal, post-Jesus […]
