Sadly, I must conclude that you are so set in your ways, which you seek to cloak in orthodox, pristine Christianity, that you are no longer open to real discussion.
Free Republic, as my years here have shown me, is a wonderful venue for real discussion. Not all threads are golden.
I will take my part in the blame for failure of this thread.
May God bless you abundantly for your virtues.
Sursum Corda
“May God bless you abundantly for your virtues.”
I don’t have any of those:
Isa_64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Luk_18:19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
Perhaps when you stop trusting in your own righteousness, you’ll not defend the false righteousness of those who deny Jesus Christ.
Why do you think it is failing?
