Bible Note: Grace and Truth: Was Paul writing under inspiration of the Holy Spirit when, in Ephesians 2:8,9 he said: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works lest anyone should boast."? Answer THAT with yes or no. [The answer, of course, is that the writings of both Peter and Paul that appear as part of Scripture are God-breathed and absolutely true.] But please, dear fellow forum user, let's not drag this thing on and on. You've obviously had your fair turn at the baptismal podium, have spoken "at sundry times and in divers manners" your piece about your views on baptism and works. Few of your fellow forum users agree with you; not a single one, to my knowledge, have you persuaded to adopt your views, so what in the name of common sense motivates you to play the same theme over and over? Do you think that endless repetition is going to have any positive effect? I don't. We listened to you the first time, we got your message, we didn't buy it then, we aren't buying it now, so what makes you think we are likely to buy it by having it incessantly repeated to us? Don't you people have any other theme or know any other song? A cappela, of course :-) --Hank |
