And the Church was condemned by the church...
Wherever have you been? We need a bit of insanity in this discussion.
The mystery of the Gospel of the Grace of God was given to Paul to bring to the church...Jesus did not teach anyone the Gospel of the Grace of God...Paul did...
And just when I thought that the discussion was serious.
To Paul it was given to explain the workings of the church and it requirements and responsibilities...Jesus didn't do it; He had been resurrected...
What's the point of Jesus anyway, right?
It was given to Paul by Jesus to teach the church on this side of the Cross the new revelations of Jesus...The adoption of the Gentiles, the Gospel of the Grace of God, the Rapture, Faith without works, the Body of Christ, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the believer, the Judgment Seat of Christ, etc...
I see. So we should pray in the name of Paul, not Jesus, right?
None of these things were revealed by Jesus while He was on the earth...These things are all on this side of the Cross...Your religion is stuck on the other side of the Cross...
Yeah, we're kinda funny that way - we believe in Christ.
You all will be judged by your works...We have been judged already; and found to be just...Jesus made the complete payment for us, in full...
Just make sure that it's not in Weimar Republic marks.
It's almost funny but actually really sad to see people who are stuck on the wrong side of the Cross try to explain the scriptures to those of us on this side of the Cross...
From your explanations, I'd expect that you guys are on the right side of the bar with a very active bartender.
LOL! :)
