WVK;
It is considered appropriate protocol to ping those whom you would denigrate on FR.
***Mary, Pete has nothing to offer but his feeble attempts at humor.***
The screen name is Petronski, not Pete.
***markbs is stuck in the law, and can’t see his way out. ***
Firstly, my name is capitalized, and secondly, the sophomoric toilet humour of appending ‘bs’ to my name is not usual FR behaviour. I have done you the dignity of capitalizing your name and I have never appended toilet acronyms to your screen name.
Secondly, I have posted all appropriate Scripture in order to debate your points; any law invoked is from the words of Jesus, not a bishop.
Proverbs 6:
16
4 There are six things the LORD hates, yes, seven are an abomination to him;
17
Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood;
18
A heart that plots wicked schemes, feet that run swiftly to evil,
19
The false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers.
***Shake it from your feet. There are some forces who wish to keep things the way they are... and bondage to the Mosaid law is their requirement! The Roman Catholics prefer bondage to freedom, and want to keep others in their misery. So, be girded...***
The ‘freedom’ of the Reformation is guided by the evil one; the repudiation of Matthew, for the most part, is very telling on Reformed and allied theologies.
Galations 1:
6
5 6 I am amazed that you are so quickly forsaking the one who called you by (the) grace (of Christ) for a different gospel
7
(not that there is another). But there are some who are disturbing you and wish to pervert the gospel of Christ.
There is another stark and frightening gospel that is perverted from the Gospel of the Apostles and the early Church and that is the freedom of interpretation gospel of the Reformation and its spawn. Your personal interpretation is in error.
John 3: 16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned... - with love and the FRE GIFT of justificatiion, Jesus.
