Jim Wallis. It figures. He’s always been a Leftist first and foremost.

Amen. Thank you for posting Proverbs 6. It was exactly the Scripture I cited during a discussion with some black liberals about Wallis and the Left.

What are the millionaires protesting, exactly, Jimmy?

Jim Wallis has been around for years, beginning in the Vietnam War era IIRC.

Wallis is always trying to pass off the current leftist agenda as being Christian.

Wallis and Sojourners goes back much, much farther than 2008. Like maybe 40 years.

The Social Gospel is the gospel of Judas. It was Judas who castigated the woman for annoiting Christ with expensive perfume. Jesus told Judas to leave her alone. Christ said the poor you will have with you always. Judas wanted to put a price on things for social justice, instead of focusing on Jesus.

It is not about what brings about salvation in the behavioral sense.

Salvation does not come about from behavior.

Outstanding quote! Thank you. Judas was a peacock/sjw (among other things).

You could not be more wrong.

Obedience is required; that is the point Yeshua made in Matthew 7:21-23, and that John makes in his entire first epistle.

Not just obedience, but willing obedience. Without that we have no “garment” for the wedding feast.

Here are some really sad facts about the political  hypocrites at the NFL.

 


In 2012 the NFL had an issue with Tim Tebow kneeling for each game to pray, they also had an issue with Tebow wearing John 3:16 as part of his blackout to avoid glare and made him take it off.
 The Liberal media crucified him continually.


In 2013 the NFL fined Brandon Marshall for wearing green cleats to raise awareness for people with mental health disorders....


In 2014 Robert Griffin III (RG3) entered a post-game press conference wearing a shirt that said "Know Jesus Know Peace" but was forced to turn it inside out by an NFL uniform inspector before speaking at the podium.


In 2015 DeAngelo Williams was fined for wearing "Find the Cure" eye black for breast cancer awareness.


In 2015 William Gay was fined for wearing purple cleats to raise awareness for domestic violence. (not that the NFL has a domestic violence problem...) Yea right.


In 2016 the NFL prevented the Dallas Cowboys from wearing a decal on their helmet in honor of 5 Dallas Police officers killed in the line of duty.


In 2016 the NFL threatened to fine players who wanted to wear cleats to commemorate the 15th anniversary of 9/11.

 


So tell me again how the NFL supports free speech and expression?

Well, a commie calls us names.

The Kingdom became visible to some for a few moments at the transfiguration.

That was a limited miracle. Human eyes cannot see the realm of Yehova.

We will be recreated into bodies that exist in that realm. That re-creation is what Nicodemus was asking Yeshua about. He was not asking how to follow Yeshua, he already knew the path; he was a High Priest, and had studied the scriptures all of his life.

Our bodies are biological, made of matter, which cannot enter the realm of Yehova. We must be reborn into bodies that are a part of the eternal realm, rather than the corruptible material universe that we can touch and see now.

It is impossible to measure whether or not the Holy Spirit has indwelt someone. But we do have behavior and testimony to try to figure out where someone is. The Dem party is on the wrong side of the bible on every single issue. When someone claims to be a Dem and a Christian it doesn't take much conversation to hear that they are really not into the bible or fellowship. True of a Catholic friend whose daughter just got married. He's a Dem and hasn't been to church for 5 years. He know nothing about the bible nor does he care to know.

But we are saved by grace through faith, not of works.

Sojourners?

LOL! Marxists & Commies that want to clothe Jesus with the Soviet flag as if he came to provide money for the poor.

Jim Wallis doesn’t know the God of the Universe - Yeshuah Moshiach!

The Social Gospel (Word of Faith/Name it & Claim it) is straight from the Pit of Hell!

Interesting that this cockroach bursts onto the scene at this late hour in mankind’s existence.

Saved by grace is Satan’s lie.

By the grace of Yehova, we are saved through the faith we are given to follow the Torah he has written on the hearts of his elect.

That faith, not magical non-biblical grace, is what gives us his righteousness.

Faith does it all.

John’s first epistle is the spiritual primer that you need. (desperately)

False gospels have dominated from the beginning.

Willing ears give them power.

Every one of them uses the word of Yehova, clipped in little sound bites, and deprived of context to win its converts.

Modern Christianity is cobbled together out of the most pernicious of them: “Saved by Grace,” “Born again,” “rightly divide.”

They take the beginning of a truth and segment it into death.

“Take up your cross & follow me”

Luke 9:23-95

Not buying your Christian sincerity Wallis - especially since politically you side with genocidal beasts who don’t like children too much.

Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

That pesky Satan hacked the bible!
