Apparently there have been some 'Snake-Oil' salespersons selling Jesus as a cure-all.
For instance I am acquainted with two individuals who profess to be Christians. One is a confessed thief and the other a habitual liar (people pleaser). These two expect God to 'fix' them. So if God chose to take on that responsibility then the next morning the thief wakes and reaches up to scratch his nose only to discover his hands are missing and the liar is unable to speak as his tongue is missing.
I don't know anything but I'm pretty sure we're still responsible for our choices and life is a series of choices. We are responsible for our daily renewal.
I just got here.... why does it smell like ozone in this thread?
IATZ !!!
“He’s DEAD, Jim!”
He’s dead?
Poor troll.
“Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret”
Anybody want to discuss that passage?
IATZ!
Damn! It looked like fun!
Thanks for the ping...
IATZ, Again!
Thanks for the education. I felt like a dog at a party before - excited but no clue what was going on. Now I am a savvy freeper who is educated in all things Zot.
Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

There are other people with your IQ currently serving in the US Congress. Just look at the (d) side of the aisle, and you are probably at the top of the IQ list. The swimmer teddy is probably your true political hero, since he is stoned most of the day. Either he is or Robert KKK Byrd may be. Or are you more on the SAN FRAN NAN side? Maybe B Hussein O is your leftwing hero.
Did you have a few too many snorts of cocaine with your Tequila this morning? Why don’t you go to the local office and collect your stinking food stamps and go buy your liquor and cigarettes for the week? Druggies like you should not be allowed anywhere near a computer. That can be dangerous, since you may accidently access a porn site and that could affect your IQ even worse at your age.
Just leave us alone to have our intelligent political discussion. Well, you don’t know what intelligence is, which is evident by your totally ignorant initial post. What is with liberals like you? You have to mess up the Internet with your whiny, juvenile ideas. I know first graders who have much more intellect than you exhibited with your little rant. There is nothing that indicates any amount of intelligence.
Does your mommy know you are alone with her computer? You should be banned from ever being allowed anywhere near any electronics again, since you may accidently shock yourself. Well, that could do some good and ensure you never reproduce any offspring. Go back to doing what you Dummies do best – trash anyone you disagree with and praise the idiot democrats who hate America.
Whatever the case, you should never be allowed to vote in any election. It takes some understanding of politics to understand that every candidate and his or her supporters agree with and have the courage to ensure that agenda is good for America.
I felt that someone might interpret my first posting (#32) as a license to sin at will, so I posted the verse in (#40) to show the attitude we should have toward sin.
“so I posted the verse in (#40) to show the attitude we should have toward sin.”
I didn’t mean to imply any criticism. I am genuinely interested in that subject.
Ok, I don’t pretend to be an expert but am willing to explore the topic. Are interested in one particular aspect or the whole verse in general?
