It says "for if you do X then you shall be saved." Meaning, at the point you do X, you are saved, and not a moment before. Greek verb tenses are what tell us this, which are a bit more than "is," "was," "will be" etc for English. If it said "for if you X, then you are saved," B57 would have a...

You quoted me four times in that post, and then quoted scripture. Clearly you thought that the passage was important enough to quote, and relevant to what I had said. So what was the point, then, if not to make an argument against my position?

Genesis-Revelation Genesis-Revelation. Yes, I'm serious. No, that's not a cop out. The ENTIRE BIBLE is my proof-text. Supra. Those verses are my prooftexts. If you feel the need to bear false witness against your neighbor to make yours, we can stop now. Quote me doing so. You can't...

By the way, this passage specifically says "anyone," and reinforces it with "your eye shall not pity." “But if anyone hates his neighbor, lies in wait for him, rises against him and strikes him mortally, so that he dies, and he flees to one of these cities,then the elders of his city shall send...

As opposed to the whinings of Arthur Brain... Bet you didn't even bother to look the verses I posted up. If it were legalism, Arthur, then I would be promoting every law in every book under the sun. But I don't. I promote five laws, on which the foundations of society rest upon, and from...

Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:18-32 Deuteronomy 22:23-24; Luke 18:19-20; James 2:11 Deuteronomy 19:11-13, 15-21 Deuteronomy 22:28-29 Yep, you're quite the crock, indeed, trying to belittle those who are on God's side for being on God's side.

I'm not surprised. Most of Reddit is left-wing. Even /r/Christianity is a cesspool of left-wing ideas.

He should be put to death. If the government doesn't do it, it's almost guaranteed that one of the inmates will.

2 Samuel 22:2 (among others) calls God "Petra." Your oversimplification of the text has led you to confusion. "You are Peter [petros, little rock, a boulder, larger than "lithos"], and upon this rock [petra, mass of rock, a cliff or ledge, distinct from petros] I will build My church."...

Guess I win?

That's what Scripture says. I'm just the messenger. It's too bad you disagree with Scripture. And one Apostle... ...for the Body of Christ, the second church. But for Israel, twelve Apostles, twelve tribes, twelve thrones, twelve gates, one Messiah. And when was that Epistle written...

Yes. But not the gospel of the Kingdom. We agree! But not an Apostle to the Jews! He provided the bulk of CHRISTIAN church doctrine, much of which was a mystery to the Twelve. False. The reason is that the Twelve, who were given the authority to do such things, chose Matthias, not Paul...

Noted! Thanks!

If the qualifications for being part of the Twelve were to write large portions of the New Testament, then most of the Twelve are disqualified. In other words, Paul writing half the New Testament isn't evidence that Paul was one of the Twelve, unless you want to disqualify most of the others...

No. We're saying that the Apostles (the Twelve including Matthias, not including Paul or Judas Iscariot) were not part of the church started by Paul. Saying it doesn't make it so. But none of them are the TWELVE Apostles who will sit on TWELVE thrones ruling over the TWELVE tribes of Israel...

So the Jerusalem Council was 17 years after Paul's conversion, which was about a year after Pentacost?

1) Using a verse from around a year after Matthias was chosen to fill the role (and had been filling) that Judas Iscariot was supposed to fill does not help your argument. 2) Yes, Paul stayed with the Apostles for a time. Guess what, though. There were already 12 of them. Scripture says so...

Not what I'm referring to. You'd think you'd have figured that out by now. False. Says the one spouting off random words... Yup. Every time you claim that homosexuals have a right to be perverse. False. Is that you're best Biden impression? You need to do better than that if you want...

False. Nope. At least what I say makes sense. Says the one sitting on the self-constructed high horse advocating that others be beholden to your religious ideals. Quit judging, you hypocrite. Maybe you should pay more attention then. I'll let you figure that one out yourself...
