I posted this in response to someones clear misrepresentation of Paul's comments of Paul's teachings on Romans 7. I think I have made it clear enough for anyone who actually cares to know the truth, of Paul's teachings on this subject, to sit down and work through those verse to know for certain what Paul taught, but as tolstoy once said: "Even the strongest current of water cannot add a drop to a cup which is already full.

I am getting to the point where I just don't know what to say to people who wish me a happy holiday that I don''t even celebrate or believe in.

Part 1 of satire

Narrator: As the door slowly opened, a tall, thin old man entered the room with a lamp in his right hand. Despite his age, as shown by his white hair and goatee, he moved with incredible agility. After closing the door quietly behind him, he held the lamp aloft and looked around as if to check for intruders. There were no one else in the room save for scores of shrunken human heads hanging in several rows on a wall. They seemed to stare at the old man with a... [Read More]
