Why do these Armstrongites always assume that people who trust in the Lord's grace are automatically antinomian?<br /><br />Also, there are people with insurance who take chances, or indulge in scams, and yes the system does chew them up and spit them out. Those people are clearly miscreants, and in the minority, just as antinomians are very much in the minority in grace-based church environments. That is, unless you are an old covenant pharisee who redefines Christianity so that everyone is eliminated except Armstrongites.<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-85235962967761764622017-03-02T16:24:01.609-08:002017-03-02T16:24:01.609-08:00So being a false prophet is like stealing a Ferrar...So being a false prophet is like stealing a Ferrari, driving it recklessly, creating accidents, maiming and killing people without one ounce of regret and insist that the car is yours and even though you aren't insured, it doesn't matter because you are above the law. The people who are injured and have their property destoyed are supposed to pay the thief (on the premise that if they pay, they won't have any more accidents). Furthermore, the thief expects people to pay for his food, booze, clothing, shelter and amenities by sacrificing their income for no particularly good reason except that something worse will come upon them if they don't.<br /><br />Is that about it? <br /><br />We can assure you that if you are faithful and loyal to the thief, when you die, you will NOT get your own Ferrari.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
