Obeying commandments of your God is not on your "to-do" list? Thank you very much. What was I thinking!
Which struck me as your way of delegitimating the honor and reputation of a man of faith, a man of the cloth with long service as a military chaplain....
You give me way too much credit where credit is not due. Your conspiracy theory is false. My quesitons were theological, not personal.
My point was: if faith is salvific, no man can give it, to himself or to others, lest man save himself or other men. So, unless God wills it, no amount of preaching will give faith. By the commandment still stands.
If you disagree with this, just state why and spare me your conspiracy theories. If you can't answer it, then hold your peace.
by the commandment = but the commandment
