the video in no way represents or addresses the issues I addressed in my post:
"Are you lost and without direction for your life? Let's be F.A.I.R."
The same words are used, but that's all. The people in the video complain about not being treated fairly, but they have no idea what fair is, and their understanding of fair is not based upon God's word but their own false emotional standards. Do not mistake them for talking about the same thing about which I wrote. They do not. And make no mistake, what is truly fair is right, and what is right is fair.
Why do you believe that others do not or cannot understand what you write. The video is correct as it shows the difference between the grace of GOD Almighty and the works of man.
Was it fair that Messiah had to go to the cross to pay the sin debt of man in full, NO, BUT it was right, for there was no other way for man to be redeemed. Nor was there any other way for man to be declared justified by GOD Almighty, and for GOD Almighty to be justified in His dealings with man, except by the cross.
"Was it fair that Messiah had to go to the cross to pay the sin debt of man in full"
There is a distinct difference in being forced to do something, and electing to do something of your own free will. What I stated, and is true, is that it would not be fair, nor right, for Christ to to pay my debt.
"Which of you thinks that if their next door neighbor kills someone, that you should pay for the crime, instead of your neighbor?"
I was speaking of being compelled as a matter of personal obligation. It is clear that I was speaking of having a personal obligation to pay the debt, which He did not have. However, He clearly stated that no man was taking His life, but that He was laying it down, and that He would take it up again. This was fair, and right. Had I given any consideration to the idea that someone would try to supplement, contrast, or randomly use the same language in such a contradictory way, I would have been more specific in the first instance.
What was stated in the video by those complaining about not being treated fairly, was that they earned a better result than someone else, based on how good of a person, or what good deeds they performed, without considering the wages of sin being death, and that overriding all other considerations. These two things are not the same thing. My discussion was based up the truth of scripture which says all have earned the wage of death for their sin. Their discussion was based upon the false standard of personal performance. These are not the same thing.
And no, not everyone will catch this critical distinction, which does make a monumental difference in its application. I waited 4 days after I saw the video to comment. It was and is necessary to understand this critical distinction. It should not be assumed that others would comprehend it on there own. There are many baby Christians, those who are not fully exercised in the discernment of good and evil, who could easily misunderstand.
