"Empty gracers"...is that the pet term now for those who believe in the promises of Almighty God who saves us by His grace through faith and not by works??? It sounds to me like those who presume that their own merits, works, efforts, deeds and obedience to all God's commandments earn them salvation are the REAL empty gracers. It is not grace at all when you have to deserve the gift of eternal life. It isn't a gift that way, either! It makes God your debtor instead of your Redeemer/Savior.

Not even close!
It’s for those that read selectively, leaving out the meat of the scriptures, and holding fast to what sounds sweet.
