You asked a question I gave You my answer.
I already told you, if you did answer my questions the answer had nothing toi do with my question. You chose to skirt the clear and simple questions, but that's fine, I also already told you you don't have to answer if you choose not to....end of story
In my last post I merely ask it was possible to understand what I said, even though you disagree?
I also already told you, I did understand, and told you I understood before you even brought it up because your stance was a favorite of OSAS. Why do you keep bringing up things I have already answered to, and claiming I ignored them?
I ask this because you keep responding by accusing me of saying things I did not say, or utterly ignoring my answer to your question.
What did I accuse you of saying that you did not say? For the last time, I didn't ignore what you called an answer, I told you I disagreed with it, that is not ignoring it, I considered the comment and told you I disagree, what else do you want from me?
Instead you just repeated again everything you have said before.
?
Nothing you said here thus far was anything but repeats, and you're accusing me of repeating. I say things I said before because you keep repeating thing you said before, and I'm only commenting on what uyou are saying
The other thing is questions for you.
How many works does it take to earn salvation, and what do they need to be? And who determines these works? And can you have enough bad works that will cancel the good? And if so, how many more good works or how good a work, would it take to cancel the bad work? Will two good cancel one bad?
I'll be happy to answer all questions, but as I tell everyone else here who skirts the questions, both sides need to answer each other otherwise it's an unfair/useless debate.
What i will do is answer one as en example of actually answering a question, and not skipping it and claiming I answered.
How many works does it take to earn salvation,
We can never do too much good, or avoid doing too much evil, so as many as we can/will. If you know of a place in the bible where God specified a number then please show us, and that would be how many. When your parents told you to be good, did they specify an exact number of things you had to do in order to obtain that goal? Of course they didn't. Curious though, what is your point, why do you need a number when it's clear because a number wasn't specified, there is no particular number? Or will you not answer that either?
I ask because, that is another common, learned from men, not God, OSAS question, and I'd like to know what you all expect when you ask it?
So, you see how I answered directly, and in detail, on the exact question you posed, as well as commenting on the question itself? Now I could have just said something like, "Faith without works is dead" and then go on about that, but that would have nothing to do with the actual question, however that is much like you handled the question, then claimed you answered it. Maybe you can show me the exact sentence, few sentences, or whatever was that answer to my question. All you actually did is post a fairly long post and said the answer in there, no specifics. I'll be happy to look those specifics over, but I still may come to the same conclusion. But I'll at least know what you considered an answer.
That's just in case you honestly have no idea why yours wasn't an answer to the question, but as I said, you still don't have to answer it unless you now want to try again now that you understand what I mean.
