Unconditional: God's Love & God's forgiveness
jt: If the above is so then why did Jesus tell those he healed to "Go
and sin no more lest a worse thing come upon you?" and why is the
professing Church dressed in the curse and no different from the
world in outward appearance. judyt
Sequence = forgiveness then repentance
jt: Can we agree that Jesus came to forgive?
So why was John the Baptist sent to prepare the way for him?
What was the message of John the Baptist?
I rest my case... judyt

What happens to the fellow who is not aware
of his sin? The flow of the blood doesn't work until he, the sinner,
does the right thing? How in the world do you explain "salvation by
faith apart from works?" And why is it necessary for God to continue
accepting our faith IN THE PLACE OF righteousness? What is your
message of hope to the addicted? And the guy in South Africa who
has never heard of Christ? And the gang banger who was molested by a
minister and rejects "religion" out of hand because of that experience?
Where does I.Q. fit into your scheme of things. Some people just
do not have the smarts to understand sme things but can grasp others.
Rather than answer all your objections, I have decided that our
thread is better served to limit the discussion somewhat. I
believe the above gets to the heart of our disagreement. Looking
forward to your response.
John Smithson
