As usual you use your lack of understanding

I have already proven that you have no understanding. The proof is that you can't give a detailed response to anything I say. Instead, you have done nothing but thump your chest and prove that you are hellbound.

So where do you go to offer the appropriate sacrifices for the sins you commit?

[editor-surveyor]

Why do you mock the religion forum with absurd questions?
.

[editor-surveyor]

Most of what you post is nonsense.

To respond is folly.

Matthew 7:23 describes your condition.
.

[metmom]

You’re telling us we have to obey the Law.

How do you decide which parts to pick and choose to obey?

[OKSooner]

Thanks, even I am familiar with John 1:1 and I applaud your point.

>>That’s one of the common defenses of ‘the don’t move a muscle to believe’ crowd.<<

That is your underlying presumption as I never took the point that faith is comatose. Faith is an action.

[Zuriel]

**That is your underlying presumption as I never took the point that faith is comatose. Faith is an action.**

True. Then obedience to Acts 2:38 is faith. Just as Abraham leaving Haran to come to the promised land was faith.

Theology is just the all-encompassing term for man made beliefs that are promulgated as Biblical truth.

Believers have no need for theology, nor ‘interpretation.’

Believers read and hear the word of God, and thereby find faith, through the work of the Holy Spirit.

Theologians believe in their beliefs and interpretations, and have no need for the Holy Spirit.

This is very well said. It's where I've finally gotten to while trying to understand Christian Faith and the "denominationally damaged" christians amongst us and throughout history.

You can't always tell by looking, but often can by listening. And not just with others, but also with ourselves and our own internal dialog.

Yes there is a hymn addressing the above.

[GarySpFc]

"The rabbit trails of long, rambling sentences that lead the easily distracted astray to follow the error of their own hearts, as Peter so clearly stated."

You will not find the words in the Bible, but both Trinity and the imputation of Christ's righteousness are thematic facts found in the Word.

[GarySpFc]

I would say that most ‘theology’ students were never in fellowship.

Is that so? I'm a theologian, and almost every theologian I know walks in the light with Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

[editor-surveyor]

You have made it clear that you “believe” that you walk “in the light.”

I have also pointed out the ways that you are not in the light, so are we going back to this endless confrontation?

I thought that we had agreed to disagree.

I have yet to know a theologian that accepts the plain words of scripture. If they did, they would have no need for “theology.”

Theology is the philosophy that there is a need for an “enlightened” man to interpret the word for the lowly and limited sheep.

Wrong! Theology is not a philosophy, and so you obviously don't have a clue what you are discussing.

[editor-surveyor]

I have the clues, you have angry retorts, as usual.
