The Wages Of Sin Is Death

I agree with a lot of what you're saying, but without Paul I doubt we'd be having this discussion on a "Christianity" forum because there would probably be no such thing. To me it seems almost miraculous that a Hellenized diaspora Jew, who had never met Jesus in the flesh but knew him only from visions, could be the primary architect of the conventional doctrine of the world's largest religion. He did this by developing a Gentile-friendly version of Judaism, minus circumcision, the dietary laws, and an emphasis on the importance of works, and by toning down the criticism of the rich by Jesus and his brother James (Mark 10:17-25; James 5:1). Paul may have sensed that the market was ready for a religion that combined the sacred book and One God of Judaism with the personal savior and universalism of Greco-Roman philosophy and the mystery religions. His main rival, the Jerusalem church under James which held True to the Law of Moses, was wiped out by the Romans in 70 C.E. There but for the grace of God...

 

Paul was also persecuted christians and on the road to Damascus had a vision of Jesus after that, he changed his way of thinking. He reasoned from the scriptures with many about the necessity of the ransom sacrifice that had to be made in order to redeem us from sin

 

si if death has no value to life why do we Revere death or rather ending life as a solution to a difficult life that is life experience

 

actually Paul was the interlopers who supported the message for his own egotistical aims which was Empire you can see the expressions in the Bible where he says that these things are of my own inclination I have come to apologize for Paul's behavior I I bring you thedope

come to cut off the head of the snake so it hisses at us no more cqome to undo the Church of Rome welcome friends

 

i don't remember having the word uphold in my post .....

i suppose any experience is valuable, even unpleasant ones they can be learned from.

btw ... the way the time stamps on posts work is the number of seconds that have elapsed since midnight on Jan 1, 1970.

 

Show me where it said that

 

Thats a lot of seconds

 

when the post doesn't have a time it indicates that the quoted text has been copied manually rather than using the quote button, which has the potential to introduce changes or errors whether unintentional or not.

 

What's it and were you talking about I'm telling you what it says I am throwing this little green bastard in the pit and sealing it over this is the millennial reign there to dad

 

no you didn't express the term uphold but I use pronouns is always meaning I and you in particular or we together not anybody in the exclusion of anybody else I really appreciate the time stamp information because it's going to cost me now to reflect on that year and the events of that. And what and what possibly we can can discern involving interracial or in a relational integrity

 

you make an excellent point is that we should be discerning the world as an object with are subjective determinations as it stands now we let our sensational impressions tell us the nature of things that we experience and so we regard things as happening to us we need to get our minds out in front and see you all how what it is that we are participating in we are full of it as a species of superstition and suspicion and ignorant of you since nature is self-evident and tastefully arranged

 

This^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

are you saying you agree with those terms

 

Hardly

 

hope you will enjoy this and an angel said to me busted at those that are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb these are bird bird true words of a third of invocation I must not be revered in any form I am starving and b the testimony of a stray is the spirit of prophecyrother and to you then I saw heav and makes waren opened and behold a white horse here i in righteousness He judges and makes wars called faithful and true in righteousness He judges and makes war his eyes are like a flame of fire and in his head are many understandings and he has a name which no one knows but himself

 

the wages of error in your life is the level of contention you feel in your life having and beating are the same

 

The title of this thread is based on Romans 6:23
For the wages sin pays is death,
but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.
