The same thing happened in Canada's United Church about 30 years ago.

Just for once, how about you respond to a question instead of continuing with the rhetoric. Please present some evidence that you have even the slightest clue about your subject. Show us the numbers as you understand them (not as you believe, but as you understand ball-earthers to believe): -...

We don't see it because he doesn't discuss. That's the problem. He just ignores challenges to his posts and continues with the spam.

I agree with you. However, I don't see any measure of discernment being exercised by RaceRunner. He just dismisses anything promoting a spherical Earth.

Fair enough.

We disagree. I hold that the Scriptures are consistent, and that the gospel Paul preached is the gospel that Jesus preached. You believe a message that is diametrically opposed to that. I think your message is heretical.

I'm not claiming anything about what it says. I simply don't believe it is Scripture, and therefore has no more bearing on what I believe than a fairy tale. Your conclusion is not supported by your assertions. Which says nothing about whether Paul does continue to pray for us. Speculation is...

You missed a fourth possibility: The "saints" (those who believed in Christ in this life and have died, and are with Him in the afterlife) witness our lives and don't pray for us. There is no evidence in Scripture that they do. Who said anything about it being a "sin"? I didn't. You exalt...

As Lucy P noted, this ^^^ has crossed the line into spamming.

You aren't grasping the concept. Most of Jesus' words were spoken to those under the old covenant. He pointed to the new covenant, and revealed it to His disciples. Paul (and the others) unpacked it to make it clear to Gentiles, who were never under the Law. My relationship with God is only...

Your reasoning appears sound, but you're missing a referent. There is no "surely" in the passage I quoted. ;)

You are a hypocrite, claiming that you are not judging me as you pass judgment on me. You have not made your case from Scripture at all, but instead dismiss and condemn those who present the truth of Scripture to you. May the Lord open your eyes to the truth of the new covenant in His blood.

Typical legalist out-of-context misrepresentation: if you aren't under the law, you must be disobeying the law. Utter hogwash. In contrast, the Scripture says, Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set...

Your own words refute your argument.

Your own words refute your argument.

"imo" as in "in my opinion". Please don't pretend for a second that your opinion carries the authority of Scripture, especially when it is based on additions to Scripture, not on Scripture itself. Jesus does not call them "guardians". No, Jesus does not even hint that angels pray for us...

While I agree this can include the saints who had already died, the context does not suggest that at all. You're using a strawman argument, and unless you can cite a source, I will disregard it. Most Christians would not say, "I don't need to love any Saint (sic)". We simply don't pray to...

They talk to God, yes. I wouldn't call it praying as they are face to face with Him. Further, they are not asking Him "for" anything, but asking a question. No, the angels are not interceding for us. The previous verse states that the angel was given incense to offer with the prayers of the...

With respect... When John wrote about the "bowls... full of prayers of the saints", he wrote nothing about which saints prayed them. It is complete speculation to conclude they are the prayers of saints in heaven. Lazarus could do nothing for the rich man, and the rich man could do nothing...

While this may be good general advice, I seriously doubt you are capable of cooking a truly terrible meal… unless you were mad.
