Think we've just figured out exactly why you're having trouble.
Quote:It means nothing other than one has excepted the attonement offered by Christ. It says nothing as to how said believer is to live their life.
Do you need me to repeat this question for you, because if you answered a question, or made a remark that addressed anything someone said with this response, it wasn't any question or comment of mine.
Quote:What are you talking about? He is constantly reminding these people of the gospel and of their faith. What the OP is arguing is not that Paul Never references the Gospel (Or I would shut this arguement down quickly with serveral references to the Gospel Paul makes.) The OP is saying Paul does not reference the very specific aspects of the gospel he has brought to lite. (Mary's name, the deatils of the resurrection, Pilate's name, Judas' betrayal etc..)
Yes, constantly reminding people of the gospel, except those parts he seems to be completely unawares of, which is precisely the point.
Quote:If you contend that Paul never references the Gospel read the opening chapters of galatians, The Book of Romans are littered with several references to the gospel and the sacerfice of Christ, The resurection, and the attonement of the sacerfice is well established for the forgiveness of sins.
What a wonderful pattern, Paul invents himself a christ, you invent a conversation.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
