I thought Jesus was a law abiding jew teaching other law abiding jews how to pray and they had no idea about death, burial and resurrection.
Their sins were covered up by sacrificing animals and spilling their blood.
I keep that prayer where it belongs because I realize that prayer was not addressed to us gentile dogs.
We can pray it (I do all the time)even though I know my sins have been forgiven, not because of anything I have done other then hit bottom and ask for help.
There goes that double standard of yours again.
I've upped my standards. Now, up yours.
Really....exactly how did you “up your standards” when you accused a Catholic of trashing Protestants simply because he/she posted a thread that was pro-Catholic Faith? On the other hand, if a Protestant posted a pro-Protestant thread you would take issue with a Catholic poster calling them anti-Catholic?
Good advice.
James 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
The thread is about the Lord’s Prayer.
Do you pray it?
I have often wondered how people get around revelations 20:12 : I saw the dead great and small...and all were judged by what was in the book...each according to his deeds. It seems fairly clear cut. Faith is obviously necessary...but cooperation with that faith translates to deeds...faith without works...
Gloom, despair and agony on me.
Deep dark depression, excessive misery.
I think you know where this is going. 😇
So God doesn’t really forgive our sins and never bring them to mind again? He actually brings them all up at the end of time anyway? How does that work?
Nice straw man. I posted mine in response to your response regarding faith and works. Why don't you deal with that rather than opening up a new line.
Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.
:-) If it weren’t for double speak.....
Rome also forgets to tell those in her grip that if they attempt to keep the law, they are responsible for the whole law. And if lawkeepers break even one point, they are guilty of breaking the whole law.
Galatians 5:3— “For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.”
James 2:10 — “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.”
Christ speaks of finding rest for your soul in Him. He said “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. In stark contrast, Rome puts sinners in bondage.
You got it bro. 😅
You are now my favorite poster on FR. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
Please try to remain humble as ever. :)
Got a ping list when you post? I’m all in if you do.
Loving it. Keep up the good work.
Gotta remember.... Salvation, NYer, Pgyanke....all posters I need to follow.
