The Law is not required because we have to live together.
Required by who? Who says it is required? Can you tell me who/what requires it? Do you have any documentation?
Always like to see evidence when someone makes a claim. Hucksters are a real downer. Jesus showed Thomas the nail prints. But giving that this is an online forum, when someone claims to be crucified with Christ it wouldn't be reasonable to see some evidence.
Same goes for "mercy". When someone says that it was an act of mercy to keep a sinner from the Tree of Life it would be nice for them to put down their power washer and prove it.
But expecting evidence is old fashion. Sort of like the Roman Cathilic Church.
It ain't hip to wear old fashion clothes. Someone might get kicked out of the wedding party.
Am I going to see red for saying such things? Maybe not. No one is seeing my texts except for Truster. And he just clicks.
This thread has legs. The Mystic has spoken.
hey your using my name out of context.:surf:
and i spoke earlier.
I see your texts
psalm 145:17 The LORD is righteous in all His ways And kind in all His deeds.
His mercy is not separated from his judgement.
even in his judgements He shows mercy.
look at genesis 3:22 Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever "-
God did not want man to live in a state of misery and decay forever. So He stopped him from partaking of eternal life in his sinful state.
The only way He wanted man to have eternal life is in Christ and His work.
His mercy endures forever. for all of His created Children
Mercy in destroying the wicked.
Grace for those in Christ.
Mystic,
There might be a problem here in this posting. (Just saying)
dialm
Well chrysostom in another thread you said a certain book is circular for teaching purposes. But you failed to tell what was being taught. I was just trying to conform to your thread by not saying what the problem is.
Isn't that your technique?
sometimes I will ask the question without giving my answer
but
once asked
I normally answer as clear as possible
you are not being clear at all

Once again I stand corrected.
Ok, this thread is titled 'mercy' by you. mystic claims that keeping people from the Tree of Life was an act of mercy. I questioned this statement and was ignored by mystic and by you. So here we are again.
Prove it mystic.
Prove it chrysostom.
You have, in the imagination of your mind, created a wimp and puny creator that is subject to your whims, laws and desires. He is not allowed to be Holy, Just or to Judge, but must stoop and become subservient instead of Sovereign.
You are welcome to him, whoever he is.....not.
