good work in the faith by His power. (note: God in us is required for that now)

I notice something very interesting about your comments. You have ignored the part of the passage which conflicts with your doctrine. Here it is :

In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 KJV)

Jesus is going to destroy those who do not obey his commandments

I hope you got that.

Dude, I was agreeing with you. (While simultaneously showing you up with a more serendipitously selected passage).

After I replied, I scratched my head and thought, "Wait... was he agreeing with me? Naahhhhh..."

Thanks for setting it straight! Sir.

edit: And I noticed that I didn't get a "sir" in your reply to me. Are you slipping, or, have I been demoted? 😛

It is technically illegal sir in the UK to call someone 'dude' and 'sir' in the same sentence.

...I don't make the rules.
