The answer is always B - 2/9/08

Which is the correct wording of Romans 11:6?

A.
And if by grace, then you must add some works; otherwise grace is not complete. But if it is of works, it is supplemental to grace; otherwise grace will no longer work.

B.
And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work (NKJV).

C.
And if by Grace, then it is no longer of Sally; otherwise Grace is no longer Grace. But if it is of Sally, it is no longer Grace; otherwise Sally is no longer Sally, and Sally is very confused about who she is.

  1. LOL Joel.

    I found that funny! I think second runner up would be C. I don't know who Sally is but hopefully she will soon!


    In Freedom, Nicole!

  3. The only Sally I know is Charlie Brown's little sister. I know she has a big crush on Linus, Daelon, but he doesn't seem to reciprocate. You might have a shot.

    Thanks for the good reminder, Joel.

  4. If I am led to believe right 'Grace' is Sally's sister?

    'But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together wit Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved though faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a resul of works so that no one might boast' (NAS Eph 2. 4-9)

    sounds like He is doing all the work...and if I am found in Him; He is doing all the work in and through me. Sounds like I am resting.

  5. I just got a message from Sally. She said she went to look for herself, and she asked that if we find her, we keep her here until she returns.

    So technically she's not 'available' at the moment, but hopefully she will be soon.

    And if Grace and Sally are sisters, I wonder if they are related to Mary and Martha (?). Things that make you go hmmm. Or not. (Hey, welcome back to blogging, WC!)
