@rajk999 saidThe reason for your cowardly dismissal of the question in the OP is because you know your answer will expose you for the fraud you are, and expose your doctrine for the heresy it is.
You are making a fool of yourself.
First of all you do not start off a thread with insults.
Next if you want a discussion then start it.
Provide some basis on which a discussion can begin.
I suspect the reason why this thread has failed is because like Cheney3, you make it personal and it is designed to insult, rather than discuss.
So I would take BDP's advice if I were you.

What's up with you BDP? Why the invitation to STFU? Do you have a dog in this fight?
Rajk spews his vitriol against Christians posting in the threads of this forum claiming to know and understand the Bible with total disregard for its precepts relative to the gospel of God's grace by presupposing that we, the Christians posting here, are living in sin because he thinks w ...[text shortened]... eply in kind based on the merits of your contribution relative to the topic of discussion.
Peace!
As a result of his disdain and contempt, an attitude antithetical to the heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ, Rajk levels all manner of insults, criticisms, judgments and condemnations, of which, curiously, go ignored by you and others.
C'mon. Rajk999 has had more "vitriol", "disdain and contempt", "all manner of insults, criticisms, judgments and condemnations" leveled at him than he has dished out.
Which "curiously, go ignored by you and others". Why is it you call it "an attitude antithetical to the heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ" when Rajk999 does it, but you don't seem to apply it to yourself and others? Isn't there a word for that? Hint: It's a "simple biblical principle".
@secondson saidIts your thread pal. Start the discussion.

This is not your church Sunday school.
Im waiting.
@thinkofone saidCorrect, and the funny thing is I do not complain about their insults.

They dish it out but they cannot take it.
@thinkofone saidYour problem thinkofone is your inability to examine and consider contexts and intent.

Foremost is your inability to divide between the difference when one is attacking the Truth of God's Word and when one is making a defense.
Like divegeester and Rajk you make the issues personal, thereby losing perspective with regards to the objective discussion of the Truth and the topics being discussed.
What's even more alarming is your disregard for the veracity, immutability and reliability of the scriptures.
Why that is is probably related to why you think Rajk has had more criticism leveled at him than he levels at the Christians posting in this forum. It's obtuse.

The question is posed to you. What's the difference between grace and mercy relative to the biblical narrative?
Either you know or you don't.
-Removed-That's just more of your belligerence.
Perhaps you would like to take a stab at answering the question?
I'll give you a hint. The answer lies at the heart of the gospel.
One might think that Rajk, or even you, would jump at the chance to answer it, since it would dispel any misunderstanding relative to the question of salvation and how it's obtained that is so vehemently argued over in this forum.
@secondson saidActually, this is a discussion forum. People start threads and invite discussions. You are not entitled to cross question anyone. BDP gave you some good advice.

@rajk999 saidWell, if I'm not "entitled" to ask a question, especially one that's relative to what's being discussed in this forum, then you're not entitled to give advice.

Your post above is merely a weak attempt to make an excuse for hiding your fear of not knowing the answer to the question.
You fear the answer will undermine your doctrine of works for salvation. And right you would be to fear it because the answer will reveal the truth about everything you have posted in this forum relative to salvation as fraudulent and heretical.
If you won't answer the question, then my advice to you is to quit posting in this forum.
@secondson saidI think you are making yourself look pretty foolish. Maybe in your church circles you can demand that someone is your church answer your question otherwise they will be disfellowshipped. This is not your church. People behave in a more respectable and decent fashion around here.

Or are you going to express your fear by the use of hypocritical obfuscations?
Grace and mercy are biblical terms with meanings. Either you know what they mean, or you don't.
The real question is, what does the Bible mean by those terms? If you don't know, then just say so. If you do, then what are you afraid of?
Are you afraid the mask will come off?
