It's in a corporation interests to maintain a level of moderation in it'so treatment of consumers and employees. There will be a pressing of boundaries where employees are mistreated. But these things will always bounce from extreme to another. Equilibrium will always pull towards center.

To put all humanity on equal footing. Without Sola-FIda the strong, intellectual, ect...... have leveraged access to God.

Are you speaking of the general richest, or those working at individual businesses? Big difference as to what might be possible. Either way you inhibit the rights of individuals. The lowest paid workers, of which I'm one, contribute labor and craftsmanship. The wealthiest provide the...

Ignorance isn't enough according to Romans. Which relates to us that none will be excused because of the inward knowledge of God, through general revelation. This gives God the ability to judge righteously every person. [Qoute="Neogaia777] Anyhow, including those who did not get to have Christ...

Will not the Judge of all the earth judge rightly? He can't if my lack of evangelism or conduct played a part in the plaintiffs failure to turn to God. Each is responsible for himself. Romans gives us God's response to those who never heard, or refused the gospel due to other religious beliefs...

No, I'mean saying if you want to help your brother in any way you will have to risk your relationship.

Your going to have to risk your relationship with your brother if you are to help him. Nothing financial, but the problem expressed in the OP

There's no safe way to avoid conflict with your brother on this. No easy answer to get out of it either. This is the cost of loving people. You will have to stick your neck out or let this go. Sorry. Have you spoken to his pastor, given him details of your brother's situation? You may find that...

Just shotgun shells. Little cost effectiveness there either. If things get a little boring try leaving a little black powder in the ashtraysame around the house. Good fun and experience for the whole family.

There is no longer jew or greek, slave or free, male or female. It comes down to whether you take this as the definitive biblical answer, or the epistle writing that appeals to church structure in which women weren't to rule over men in teaching. Not allowed by Paul in any of the churches. One...

God's wrath is one of his passions, God's holiness is part of his essence. Both are perfect, yet as such they can't be equal. Wrath is by itself an attribute. As is justice while being expressed. While justice itself is part of the essence of God. Of...

I have read these just to see if you had any insight that I may have missed, you didn't. Then they were all addressed by others, in a manner that reflects the verses. The return comments haven't helped your position in that they only show that certain Christians, particularly missionary/apostle...

My comments were made in reference to the OP. The OP presentation of the Christians being drug out of the synagogues is incorrect. It's a very sloppy rendering of the English language let alone the Greek. Letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there. There is Damascus...

Was Jesus in his full humanness perfect in the sense you seem to be implying? Would sinlessness in a human qualify that person to be a perfect sacrifice? Surely then an infant would meet the requirement if you concede that no sin is imputed to them until a knowledge of sin. Why not sacrifice...

Could it have rather been that Paul was seeking letters to the synagogues in Damascus because they were an authority over the Jewish community there? Personal records were kept there and the synagogue leaders were familiar with Jews and Jewish Christian converts living in Damascus. They would...

My apologies for the comment of the word Trinity not being found in scripture then. I have mixed the comments of earlier posters to yours. This thread is getting so long that I'm trying not to go back into it for specifics and may have done the same for other comments in the below posts. Please...

The Gnostics professed the deity of Christ in a polytheistic sense. They despised the flesh of all life and refused to believe a deity would consent to corruption. See the gospel of Judas.

Actually anytime a church is being chastised in the N.T. the trouble makers are a small minority within the church. John and Paul both accuse individuals or sub-groups within a church. To take what they say as an implication of a corrupted church is an exaggeration. Paul could give that same...

Please accept my apology then. The verses and what you wrote below it caused me to think the thoughts were connected.
