We're not saved by faith in His DBR, are we? Isn't our faith in him, and what he's told us? Just knowing about the DBR won't do it--the demons believe that it happened. The faith isn't in the power of the DBR, as the activity has no actual power. But the power to resurrect someone is something...

Can you explain what you mean by "paths"?

Yet you think there are multiple ways to achieve eternal life. John 14:6 (KJV) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If we can't agree on that, there's no point in arguing over same or different gospels.

It would be a better match for him.

And apparently has nothing to offer the discussion, by his implicit admission.

I figured you wouldn't understand.

So you need "coordinated randomness"? I hope you can see how sophomoric that is.

Not if he's too cowardly to respond to mine.

Yes, because the gospel of the kingdom was related to eternal life. Unless there are two paths to eternal life, then the gospels must converge. [Mat 19:24-26 KJV] 24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the...

I would appreciate it if you not comment on my threads unless you're willing to actually communicate with me directly. I.e., take me off you're ignore list, or move along.

I don't have a problem with God's law setting us at liberty, either. I'm saying they are compatible concepts, and therefore don't need to be differentiated as distinct gospels.

I don't have much problem with any of that except calling it a "gospel" on par with the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

Especially since most was directed at those who knew nothing of the Hebrew scriptures.

Do you think there was a “law of liberty” the Jews would have been following? Can you describe what that would mean for them? I wasn’t conceding the point yet, and perhaps I wasn’t quite clear in the partial sentence you quoted. I’ll try again. So James may be only writing to Jews, but if so...

We started the book of James today. The greeting you cite is fairly strong for your view. But here's a twist to consider. James says his audience are living under "the law of liberty": James 1:25 (KJV) But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a...

And I hope you noticed how the phrase "kingdom of Israel" is not used in the example you gave? The fact that Jesus had risen from the dead says "there is a resurrection, Jesus has shown us the way!" I'll be happy to consider the difference between Paul's version of the unearthly kingdom and...

The great thing about the passage is that it's the exact passage the two-gospel advocates want to use to show two gospels, but as you've pointed out, it shows exactly the opposite.

Paul on the kingdom: Colossians 1:13 (KJV) Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son: 1 Thessalonians 2:12 (KJV) That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. 2 Thessalonians 1:5 (KJV) [Which...

Thanks, Idolater. As a 2nd firing in a specialized field, I don't expect there's much more for me there, so it may be an opportunity to try another field. It wouldn't have been such a big deal to do the testing, which they were willing to pay for, but I don't feel comfortable working for a...

I was fired a couple weeks ago. Not for the reason stated above solely. They had this odd covid test policy that only applied to those who were unvax'd or wouldn't provide vax status, where they wanted me to test twice a week. I told them I would do it as long as they treated everybody who could...
