Jude 2

Those weren't doctrinal posts. What the heck? They were part of a general interest series I'm working on.

What are you trying to prove?

Generally interesting to whom?

Lovers of the truth?

We have a doctrine board and all these multiple posts seem to just be trying to get around having your posts put there.

They tend to collect too much dust there. I'm just taking out a little treasure my brother - old and new. Dusting it off for public consumption. Loving on my peoples...edifying the bretheren.

You are too kind.

Thank you Dewayne and bless you sir.

You know, you could have titled this "Dude, who stole my general interest posts?"

Crisp, that's a pretty good suggestion my brother. I think I will re-title it.

Well I've done my good deed of the day. Now I can live like the devil. Which must be very hard when you think about it. You gotta park in handicapped spaces without plates, help yourself to the offering plate, challenge a pastor to a drinking contest, steal candy from a baby, pour jello in the baptismal pool, bounce tithe checks . . . that's just too much work!

Isn't that the program Martin Luther embraced?

Perhaps you are referring to this famous quote?

" Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong (sin boldly), but let your trust in Christ be stronger, and rejoice in Christ who is the victor over sin, death, and the world."

I've read that this quote has a different meaning taken in context of the entire work, but I don't know enough to be sure. Hmm, there's that context thing again...

Crisp, that's the quote I had in mind. Just too lazy to look it up. But hey, if everyone is depraved, we just can't help ourselves. We are poor pathetic weak sinners and all we have to do is think hard enough...convince ourselves that Jesus rose from the dead and...voila...instant Christian. Then we don't have to worry about all that works stuff.

I vote we give irthnvesl his own forum.

What title would you give it?
