I wonder where modern day Chlam is located? Or what is that land even called these days?

Romans 1
[28] And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
[29] Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
[30] Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
[31] Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
[32] Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
The above ^^ is an excerpt from a letter composed by Paul - but more like a theological essay - to the people of the Church of Rome. While we today can read this letter and other letters of Paul, the letter was not for us. It was for the Church of Rome. Moreover, Paul would have had no inkling that his epistles would be read by we in the 21st Century. But anyway, after Paul gives the above lengthy list of 'the behaviors of a reprobate mind' (listen up, scgraham) he throws it back at those who pass judgment on others while participating in the very same things themselves (Romans 2:1).

I ask a couple of things from scgraham. Since he's so fond of lifting Bible verses to rub other people's noses in them, I ask, 1. please supply a current 'sin list' of your own that YOU feel are keeping present-day people out of God's kingdom, and, 2. provide some form of evidence that YOU have attained righteousness and are therefore qualified to judge others as you do persistently on these sub-forums. Thanks.

That commandment is not mandatory. Mercy and grace can always be shown, just as God shows us His mercy and grace when we sin.
But you still think that children who disobey their parents are worthy of death.

Almost every religion uses GUILT to keep the flock in line. The Christian bible is no exception.

Absolutely! It seems to me that even the more conservative Christians on this forum would surely be rolling their eyes at the asinine contents of most of scgraham's posts.

I aree. One or two of them appear to show flashes of intelligence and a modicum of insight.

But scgraham is "one of theirs," so at most, they avoid his more vile postings. But you'll never see one of their ilk publicly disagree with, or admonish him.

Their numbers are few, and thankfully, disappearing by the day.

Just sending them right to heaven, right omega?

As long as the child hasn’t reached the age of accountability.
