Yes, our obedience to the Lord.
--you don't think so?
With respect, I didn't know you were so experienced, fact is, I couldn't tell.I've been a Christian my entire life and I'm pushing 60.
I don't see where all the scripture you posted is germane to the longstanding debate regarding Peter's vision, which is germane to eating pork chops.
Never said we do anything for the Lord, that would actually be absurd: we obey Him because He is the Lord, and that we do for our sake, not His.I think our salvation is through what the Lord did for us, rather than though what we do for the Lord.

Moreover, the scriptures I posted where germane to the points I made--thought that was obvious, but then again, I also think that it should be obvious to obey the Lord, but you know me, always assuming others can see.

Obedience is not equal to performance: that is a false equivocation.Some believe that salvation is based on human performance, such as obedience.
No, it isn't.
I truly couldn't tell.
Just a statement of fact.
--Not to offend you, but just being honest with you, for whatever it's worth.
Obedience is not equal to performance: that is a false equivocation.
Performance implies success, yet obedience denotes attempt, apart from success.
It's been about twenty three years.
Obedience to the Lord, period.
No, justification is by His grace through our faith, which results solely from belief to obey. --All things revealed are for the obedience of faith.So justification through obedience rather than by grace?
No, justification is by His grace through our faith, which results solely from belief to obey. --All things revealed are for the obedience of faith.
It's quite simple really: God says it, I believe it, then I try to do it. --that's it, really.
Please keep in mind, that I don't subscribe, to man-made philosophies about God, and certainly don't care for seminarian prescriptions, but the meaning of the word of God, alone.Sounds like Lordship Salvation, but not quite.

I perceive seminarian recipes to be, doctrines of demons, designed to shortcut an interrupt into natural thoughts. Lordship salvation, and other none biblical terms, don't help the dialog, at all, but retard it.
That is not a response....According you your interpretation God was giving his OK to cannabalism. How does your interpretation square up with:Now you're just scoffing.
Not according to my quoted sources.....That only serves to prove my point, extensively. ...
Which is why you failed to address the comment and simply deflected.No, you're wrong about that too: by using selected readings a person can twist anything--debunking requires proving completely, twisting just requires citing partially.
Yep, I came to the same conclusion.I think I understand. You developed your own unique personal doctrine, philosophy, view (for lack of a better term) and therefore perceive most or all others to be false and incorrect. Which is why there's a lot of friction between you and others on the forum.
