Except for the fact that the Greek grammar of the New Testament does not support such an interpretation. i'd fail any of my students who proposed such an interpretation, because it is bad grammar. Paul and Luke were a lot of things, but they weren't clumsy with Greek grammar. Incidentally, as...

Sigh, It is quite evident from the text that, grace, faith, and salvation are the gift of God. There are no works involved. It is ALL given by God, Grace, Faith (your ability to believe) and salvation itself. It was the answer to your initial question.

i did read the passage sir, in the original Koine Greek. Frankly, whether Geneva's "dogma" or Rome's "dogma" what is true depends on what the text says. i do not believe that Rome has a correct interpretation and Geneva does.

Compare the passage with Ephesians 2:8-9.

The present Intelligence Community is a product of the Truman Administration. It has been a source of grief for every President since regardless of party including Harry Truman. IMO, it is time that the Intelligence apparatus in this nation be restructured in order to make a servant of...

Old fake news. Unlike other pieces of fake news, this one was reputedly put out BY the Trump Administration. The purpose was to identify a leak in the Administration. Suppoesdly, different texts of the basic story were given to different suspected leakers. i do not know whether i believe...

As you said, it was a guess. The issue you want to contemplate is whether or not the guess is accurate. (Hint: it's not)

i don't know if i can be any help to you. But here's the rest of the story: i was 60 years old before i ever married. My wife is 25 years younger, but still of an age where she would have gotten those kinds of questions if she didn't look 10 or so years younger than her real age. Two years...

Respectfully Madam, it is not inaccurate, and you know it. To claim otherwise is to deny the claims of your "prophet" and Mormon Cosmology. It is a rather disingenuous tactic to claim and and then redefine Christian terminology into something that Christianity has never confessed or believed...

With all do respect for what you're trying to accomplish, you are making a slight error. Mormons are actually Henotheistic. That is to say that although they believe in the existence of multiple gods, they worship only one god. The difference is subtle but important. However, you are...

Just as Obama was before Trump, and Bush43 before Obama, and Clinton before Bush43, and...all the way back to HRH George III of Britain, Scotland and Ireland back before there was a United States. Yes, it's hard to keep perspective at times, but i think that times of testing brings out what God...

No problem Bro, i was just in rant mode and got caught up in it. i had images of Berkeley in my head, and one thing lead to another... We're electrons on a screen to each other in fact, and caricatures of each other in our heads. i can't speak for you, but i sometimes forget that. Sometimes...

i live in Gettysburg, Adams County Pennsylvania. There are more guns here than refrigerators. Those people don't come here because they're not THAT stupid. About eight miles down the road from where i sit at the moment there is a memorial that is partially dedicated to the last poor fools who...

Riiggght. Do you know how laughable that is? An international businessman doesn't have a firm grasp on economics or trade.^_^ Which reads an awful lot like "those rules my political faction agrees with=good, those the other guys agree with=bad, those that both sides agree with, on a...

You might want to re-evaluate in light of the fact that most of the media and commentators were saying that he wouldn't get there at all. So what was their analysis worth?

Naaa, i just enjoy watching Breitbart and Trump living rent-free in their heads. And the irony is that i didn't even vote for Trump.

Now we're back to the line that it's all Trump's fault, he doesn't understand the "bigger picture", etc. Of course ignoring the fact that the guy comes from a business environment and has --in spite of failures-- managed to do it successfully. So are you going to complain when Trump moves...

Yes it is. None-the-less, there are people who are so suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome and Breitbart (or Drudge) Derangement that they can't see straight. Wasn't very long ago that the same people would have been condemning the Eeeeeevuuuul corporations. Of course the guy in the...

So now they're responsible for the work of Amnesty International, and the reporting of a Rhode Island NBC Affiliate? So what else do you want to blame Breitbart and the Trump administration for? Celebrating a win in the Election? Global Warming? Kids starving in Ethiopia? Halitosis?

i'm pretty sure that THIS had a lot to do with it. Of course it is more convenient for the usual suspects to blame Trump.
