Ah yes, the old "sum it up with 'liberal' like it actually means something."
“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind.” ~ William Shakespeare Eph. 5:21–33, Heb 13:4Sounds to me like you believe there's such a thing as God-approved, Spirit-derived sexual lust for others not one's spouse...
It's a shame when you have to get this deeply personal when clearing your name.
She dares to presume to know who deserves God's grace!
Who do you dare to presume does deserve it?
It seems to me you omitted important details that would have effected GD's opinion. You surely know what I'm saying, so I'll leave it at that.
Grace is when we receive favor that we do not deserve.
God's children. Any child deserves the favor of his father. The child did not choose to be born, but was formed in the womb by the Father of us all (Acts 17:28-29).
You don't even know the definition of grace? Wow.
Grace is simply God's favor, which is merited by His children.
Bybee, you really should think before you jump. :nono:
NO ONE deserves God's grace. Yes, I do dare to presume exactly that because it's a fact. Who do you dare to presume does deserve it?
Grace is when we receive favor that we do not deserve.
Mercy is when we are spared punishment we do deserve.
“Put on therefore, as God’s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye: and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful.”
**Colossians *3:12-15 *ASV

You are a pompous unmitigated judgmental gasbag devoid of mercy. Yet, our Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sin of the world.
That would include you.
Unlike you, elo, I don't give a rip about the personal details of someone's life.
I don't care what you have done in your relationships, and I've heard plenty....more than I ever wanted to know.
What I care about is when people claim to be believers and preach lies about the word of God, like you do and many others on here do.
So, you'd do well to leave it at that.
Any child deserves favor according to who, Elo? You and the other humanists?
That verse doesn't come close to saying what you claim.
She has my full grace. I just can't help myself from teasing her. She begs for it.
Believers aren't trying to maintain a superiority or blame more wrongs on others, but we most certainly can and must call all immoral behavior wrong. Strippers can't blame others for their own wrongs any more than believers blame their own faults on others. There is enough fault and wrong doing to go around.
No, it's a well-known Bible principle.
Matthew 7:11 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!"
Well, grace is a GIFT, that's true...merited NO. Deserved? NO.
Paul told idolatrous pagans that they were God's children (Acts 17:28-29). The point being we are descended from God through Adam and should all think of God as a Father. The Lord himself said to call no man on earth father because we have one Father in heaven.

I don't recall anybody saying that Strippers or anyone else can blame others for their own wrongs but a stripper can most certainly blame and prosecute anyone who raped her.
