| "He is calling us crybabies again." "What if we are?" |
I gave the LQ (sic) denizens a simple challenge - address these key passages:
- Genesis 15:6
- Romans 4, summed up in Romans 5:1-2
- Galatians 3:6-7
They have quoted everyone except Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, but they still run from the Scriptures.
A Literary Criticism Exercise - How Do Selected Chapters in Romans
End and Start?
3 30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
4 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4 23 Now it was not written for his [Abraham's] sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

The chapters and verses are arbitrary, added later, but the themes are not. We can see how Paul used the ancient literary device of starting a theme and concluding one part of the theme or argument through transitions to the next stage.
One's teachers, parents, grandparents, synod, heroes, or villains should not make any difference. Biblical doctrine is derived from the ruling norm, not from secondary sources. I could explain how the latest LQ (sic) Gerhard quote is not OJ, but why bother with someone who runs away from the Book of the Holy Spirit, the Bible?

| Yet, one of their persistent LQ (sic) fanatics, Jay Webber, spent 50 pages trying to get a tiny audience to share his delusion that Luther was OJ. |
