Bible Note: Hello Inquisitor, First, I'd follow behind brother Beja, in his post #223429. What you initially posted seems to belie a works orientation of salvation? Second, I'm one for brevity. Most of the time I don't address every point simply due to constraints of time:-) Third, I'm feeling a bit of a "cat-and-mouse" type of dialog developing. Correct me if I'm misinterpreting anything. I'm not trying to be disagreeable, but is it necessary that I answer your "quotes from Jesus". What's the point, if I may kindly ask? Fourth, you're welcome to view my User profile if you haven't already. I strongly encourage you to expand on yours- especially if you intend to be a long-term participant.

In all fairness, your is very vague and doesn't tell me a lot:-) For that reason, I'm a little reluctant to answer you. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
