No problem. I appreciate your advice. Been there, done that.
Please forgive my impertenence. Salvation is a gift from God, offered through Christ, in which a person is changed into a new creature through no effort of their own. This is the ultimate gift given by virtue of the blood of Christ shed for each of us.
The recent claim by the President that he is a Christian by virtue of accepting the tenants of Jesus does not satisfy Biblical teachings about salvation. He talks about the Grace of God falling into Bonhoeffer’s trap of cheap grace, accepting salvation without repentence.
I get the same sense from reading your many posts on this thread. Please clarify for me that your words do not carry the contempt and ridicule they seem, often, to convey. I have no doubt but that sitting nez a nez we would have the added quality of personal contact as means of understanding each other so am willing to acknowledge my flawed judgement.
In short, “Been there. Done that.” is not satisfying.
