Because salvation, per se, has not yet come to the Jews. For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.And so all Israel will...

We agree, even if only on this point. Physical science cannot address the supernatural, simply because it is beyond its scope. That's where reason comes in handy. Agreed. This begs the question that a supernatural being doesn't exist to hear such prayers and therefore cannot act in...

Despite it containing good news? Musty answer the challenge. Provide the chapter and verse that says this: Chapter verse. Then they are saved, in spite of what they believe, because they put their faith in Christ (and all that that entails, as per Clete's list) Are they correct to say...

Says who? Not the Bible. The point is that Paul did NOT say "you are incapable of sinning" but rather "don't let sin reign in your bodies." Just because you don't let it reign in your body doesn't mean it's been purged from your body. But we are not sinless. We are no longer identified as...

Chapter verse, please. Here's what Paul said (speaking about : I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.But even if we, or...

And yet, many Christians, despite their being "in Christ," still walk in the flesh.

There is indeed no sin in God, but there is still sin in us. Otherwise Paul would not have said: "Do not let sin reign in your bodies... sin won't have dominion over you because you are under grace, not law."

Why are you trying to mix dispensations? Salvation under the New Covenant (which the Circumcision were under (yes, "were," as there is no "Circumcision" today) Again, mixing dispensations will only cause confusion. Under the dispensation of the New Covenant, Jews (and proselytes) had to...

There was a cult that used this very verse to commit mass murder (and/or suicide, I believe). (Or it was one person who killed some people, I don't remember the specifics, but they cited that very verse as their justification for doing what they did.) Their reasoning was correct, but their...

Duh...

There's no need to assume that. It's a matter of fact. Because they are under a different set of house rules than the Body of Christ. If you go to a friends house, and decide to play pool, and you go to shoot the 8 ball in, and your friend stops you and says "you can't just shoot it in, you...

The Circumcision. The same people the rest of the book is addressed to.

Instead of assuming the worst, how about giving him the benefit of the doubt, and explaining, as I just did? Guarantee you that not only would he not consider this site a waste of his time, but that it would result in a productive discussion about the topic at hand. Agreed. And yet...

If I may, @Clete...: This is saying that "faith alone" and/or confidence in that doctrine causes one to be anathema. This is saying that works are required for salvation, and that if someone says they are not required, but are simply a result of having faith, they are anathema. This is...

"Science" isn't something that "detects" anything. It is the process of obtaining knowledge, or simply knowledge itself. Using reason itself is sufficient to find out whether an invisible supernatural Entity that we call "God" exists. Here's how, simply because of the phrase, "I think...

Why do you think John violated His commitment in Galatians 2 to Paul to only go to the circumcision? John is writing to Circumcision believers. He's not writing to Christians. That was Paul's role.

Or stumble backwards into justice...

I think this is the problem here. I have no problem if someone only wants to only pray to the Father, but I have to wonder, Why? Do you think that Jesus doesn't want to have that same relationship with you? What about the Holy Spirit? There's no specific prohibition in Scripture against praying...

No, but we do have access to His word, in which he tells us that killing the innocent is wrong. That includes babies in the womb.

Love the CoD Zombies theme as background music for that one guy lol. Here's the theme (1-hour version):
