I think you should step aside and let Rajk argue the case. You appeared very confused in your argument.
Passive aggressive much?

What analogy best explains how the concept of the "free gift" works or what it means? You are invited to offer one.

In your opinion, what type, volume, frequency and consistency of good works are required to attain eternal life?
Don't you believe that your faith automatically - the "Spirit moving within you" - answers this question? It sounds like that of a barrack room lawyer whose client doesn't want to walk the Christian walk. "How much walk must I walk?"

I think I have argued my case using clear bible teaching. Lets see what the Christians who oppose this have to offer.
FMF relied more on personal sentiment than biblical teaching.

You're dodging the OP challenge. Why?

You are replying to my reply to divegeester. Your atheism is not the topic.

It was packed with personal sentiment rather than biblical understanding.

You keep riffing on this instead of engaging anything that's being said.

What analogy best explains how the concept of the "free gift" works or what it means?

What's your offering?

Please refer to the other thread where this was discussed exhaustively, and in which you didn't fare well.

I thought our discussion on the other thread was very good. I'm not sure your narrow understanding of what a "free gift" might or might be was very convincing, though. Hence this thread.

So you are opting out of this thread?

It wasn't 'my' understanding. It was the biblical understanding.

All my posts have been based on what the Bible teaches, as I see it. You were rather vague about what "free gift" actually means and I sensed you backing away when pressed. Hence this thread. You could distill your personal interpretation of what "free gift" means into an analogy. It would be interesting.
