No, I don't think she saying that.
Suzianne is a liberal. She believes in liberal causes and its politics. She has attempted to justify and reconcile her liberal political agenda with her so-called Christian beliefs without regard for the clear teachings of the scriptures.
Now she's really going to be mad at me. 😲 😉

There are a large number I can respectfully disagree with and still count them as a brother or sister in Christ. Agreeing with me isn't the prerequisite for being a Christian, it makes me feel better, but loving God and each other stands as most important. Where we each can be wrong about some topics will work themselves out in grace over time I hope.
I may need her wisdom from time to time as I may need yours!

What about thr idea that one can live a life in willful sin and still expect to be found righteous?
Originally posted by EladarThere are topics such as that, I agree that we need to put Jesus above our sinful nature. Turning our lives over to God in Christ is to put God before our sinful nature.

The fact is the Bible is widely open to interpretation because it is a metaphorical and esoteric work that contains inconsistencies, discrepancies and outright contradictions. It is what it is. As such, people end up choosing verses and passages that support their beliefs and end up dismissing those that don't. If you can be honest with yourself, you know that this is true.

To which suzi and her ilk see as either not being sinful at all or acceptable behavior.

The real fact is that it is man that "contains inconsistencies, discrepancies and outright contradictions."
You believe a lie. When you disparage God's Word in such a way you are calling God a liar, and because you don't realize that's what you're doing tells me you're void of The Truth.

On the contrary, you blithering mouthpiece, I have never done any such thing. Prove otherwise or shut your lying mouth.

God has spoken to us in the Bible.
We need that very much.
And God still speaks to us when His living Spirit enlightens to the heart the words of the Bible. This is called the rhema or the word. The previous is called the logos.
No, Ghost, I would rather let the word of God erase in me those sins, transgressions, iniquities, wrongdoings, and foreign godless things of the fallen Adamic humanity.
Did this answer your question?
Did it over do it ?
Good.
