Subject: repentance sin and everything
I came across this section on the first of Luther's 95
theses and thought of the sinless perfection discussion:

To Rush Limbaugh Haliburton and, by extension,
Cheney can do no wrong.
To the critics of Haliburton and, by extension,
Cheney can do no right.
IFO view Haliburton and, by extension, Cheney as
somewhere in between.
It depends upon the criteria brought to bear on the

of sin and repentance. This was the cultural mindset then, that the
depravity of man was so great that nothing could be done about it. Their
thinking was that everybody sins even when they are unaware of it. This
Lance quotes Debbie:
How can we deny that we share in
this corporate responsibility, and does
that not also count as sin?
She makes a good point here.

Who is this David she is talking about? Did she really mean to say every
I don't follow Rush Limbaugh much, but I am skeptical of the assertion that
he thinks Haliburton and Cheney can do no wrong. Are you using a little

First,
who is David Miller? His theological understanding is wholly wide of the
mark.
Two,
Debbie is a surer guide.

"First" and "Second" or "One" and "Two"?

greater understanding of the issues
Lance quotes Debbie:
a false rumour has the power to destroy a person.
Considering the truthfulness of this statement, I would like to clarify some
things because it has come to my attention that John is engaging others on
this forum in gossip about me. John tells me that he will not courtesy
Dear David Miller,
I believe that my first post was critical of the way that members were
treating one-another. Soon after, I found myself to be a recipient of ad
hominem remarks. Since that time I have been very sparing with what I have
contributed to the forum.
