The same as for anyone reading it. I do understand English, you know.
But when I say "the same as for anyone reading it", I meant those who read it
without an agenda.
What you fail to notice is that the person who usually puts this passage up is someone who believes that all Christians are like the second son, when nothing is further from the truth. What he fails to see is that fulfilling good works comes from the Holy Spirit. It is a RESULT of salvation, not a CAUSE. But he's sooo busy calling out ALL Christians for this imagined behavior that he doesn't notice that he fails to obey God himself.
He marches on incessantly in this forum like a good little "Christian soldier" with a staff of "righteousness" that is really a testament to his own failing.
But I am not sure why I bother explaining myself to you. You'll just twist some more, because after all, you cannot allow me to appear "correct" ever.
