Should Each State Become a Separate Country?

[Van]

You go around this board attacking me personally quite often. It seems to be your hobby. I find your protestation to be insincere.

You we know you claim to be a mind reader, attributing wrong motives to me in many posts. I defend biblical principles, like the lost can respond affirmatively to the gospel and if God credits their faith as righteousness, obtain reconciliation.

Exhaustive determinism is not a biblical doctrine.

Would it be wrong to point out that the Bible teaches freedom is to be preferred over slavery?

If one is born by the Spirit, then one is a slave. If one is not born by the Spirit, then one is a slave.

Romans 6:17-18 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. (NKJV)

God never credits any sinner's imperfect faith as perfect righteousness. Only the perfect righteousness of Christ is imputed(credited) to God's elect.

You have faith in your faith, Van.

Did anyone say God credits our imperfect faith as perfect righteousness? Nope, This poster posts falsehoods one after the other.

Now we are told crediting faith as righteousness is the same as crediting perfect righteousness. Where are people made perfect according to scripture. When they obtain approval through faith, or when God places them spiritually into Christ's spiritual body?

Perfect righteousness is required to be saved. Anything less is to be in a lost state.

More nonsense, with no reference to scripture. When a person is saved, they are made righteous by the washing of regeneration. (Titus 3:5)

Thoughts?

What ever protections from the no law clause in the first amendment would go away.

It could vary from country to country.

Bear in mind, I was simply putting forth the question for discussion. I didn't say it would be practical.

Does this verse say people are made perfect through their own efforts. Nope

 

[KenH]

Romans 4:6-8 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, saying,

Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven,
And whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

Question, how many Americans have died to protect the Union? How many have died to protect freedom, even the freedom of people from other countries?

It is time to stand up for truth.

Red and yellow, black and white, Jesus loves all the little children in His sight. I was born high in the rockies, so should I look down at the flat landers? You know why the Air Force has training facilities in Florida and Texas? No rocks in the clouds...

Once again we have those who ask questions in order to imply something, and then when called out, claim they did not intend that implication.

Van. You have posted that you are from England.

I agree 100% with the cooling off period prior to voting. I've thought that the first generation of immigrants from another state ought not be able to vote in their new state, otherwise New York could flood a state like mine (NC) and change everything in 5 years.

What attack? I asked a question. And I see you didn't answer the question, just another inane attack on me personally.
