@fmf saidThat's altogether a different thing than just calling oneself Christian and calling it a day.
Do you believe people are saved by Grace because Jesus died on the cross for all mankind? In his case, do you believe Paterson is saved by his faith and by faith alone?
@fmf saidOne. More. Time.
I believe he calls himself Christian.
And you do too. Is declaring who is and who isn't a Christian an important part of your faith in action?
Declaring anything is fairly useless unless you back it up with action.
@suzianne saidIs publicly declaring who you think is - and who isn't - "walking the walk" in their Christian life ~ and insisting that your political opponents "cannot be followers of Jesus" ~ an important part of your faith in action?
Do you know the difference between 'talking the talk' and 'walking the walk'?
@suzianne saidIn the post you are purportedly replying to, I am not asking you whether he calls himself a Christian. I am asking you if you believe people - like you and Robertson for example - are saved by Grace because Jesus died on the cross for all mankind; that is to say, saved by his faith and by faith alone?

@suzianne saidHasn't Roberston ~ while being a "sinner" like every other Christian ~ used his fame and fortune to channel umpteen tens of millions of dollars into charitable works ~ medical care, feeding hungry people, helping refugees etc. ~ especially in the developing world?

@fmf saidAll of these supposed well-thought-out posts simply side-step my point, in one way or another, a technique you've no doubt honed through many such "interactions" in this forum, and are thus not worth answering in either direction. You post in bad faith. Clearly we can't have this conversation.
@Suzianne
Have you taken flight?
@suzianne saidBlimey. What a dodge.

@suzianne saidYes, but hasn't Roberston ~ while being a "sinner" like every other Christian ~ used his fame and fortune to channel umpteen tens of millions of dollars into charitable works ~ medical care, feeding hungry people, helping refugees etc. ~ especially in the developing world?

How is this not clear to you?
