"Saved by faith alone" not doing good [long-hair-tied-into-a-back-of-head-ponytail-in-public] works of the Law?
I can understand that that is meant or interpreted as our (and not Christ's blasphemy-alleged) sins atoned by the crucified-and-risen-back-to-life-and-ascended-upwards Jesus alone and His good work(s) instead of our frequently-fallible-and-imperfect hit-and-miss [sometimes-bared-arms-and/or-legs and/or sockless-in-sandals exhibitionist] works and attempts at doing [up-do-hairstyled, long-sleeved, long-slacks, socks-in-sandals] good works.
But saved by faith alone and simply lying there in bed like a non-responsive wife non-willing to affectionately respond back herself to her husband's erotic aggression...and misconsidering such forwardness on his part "illegal" or "socially-disreputable spam?"
That does NOT sound orgasmic to me!
To give an example:
ME: "Hey you, with the naked legs and sockless feet in sandals. You have sexually incited me to ask you if you have done that to wordlessly solicit me to have sex with you sometime before the day ends. What are you going to do about it?"
THEM: "I did not mean to incite only you, but instead erotically and sadistically tantalize every Tom, Dick, and Harry who I happen to mindlessly and randomly terrorize with my demonically-worldly non-solicited sexually-harassing sleevelessly-naked-armed bare-legged-in-shorts socksless-in-sandals immodesty."
ME: "So? You have aroused ME. WHAT are YOU going to do about THAT?"
THEM: "I'm sorry. I did not mean to single you out for visual sexual abuse."
ME: "Sorry is NOT enough. WHAT are you going to do about it with ME personally?"
THEM: "You want to go with me now to talk to my husband about it?"
ME: You should be arrested and fined. Damn shame we both are currently not in fundamentalist-islamic sharia-law Iran nor Saudi Arabia enforcing hijab and burka public modesty!
Or another example:
ME: "Pardon me, but do you have the time of day?"
THEM: "For WHAT? What do I look like, an ALARM clock? Why are you so STUPID that you do not wear a watch YOURSELF? Quit SPAMMING me. I did not first give you permission to ask me anything - especially the time of day or what I thought about the weather or anything else. Your abusive name is now blacklisted to me, and to all others. What is your e-mail address, real name, real address, real home phone number, and your Social Security number so that I can report you to Spamhaus, who will (for myself, because I am too much of an accursedly-despicable coward to personally convey my objection to you directly and succinctly in writing), tattle and gossip to all others my scurrilous blacklisting malicious slander so that none of your further e-mails using Hotmail, G-Mail, MSN, Yahoo, GMX, Yahoo, nor Yandex will ever get through again to anyone."
ME: "What is YOUR e-mail address, real name, real address, real home phone number, and your Social Security number so that I can construct a webpage report against you to cut and paste into the response form boxes of everyone on the internet I can think of to devastatingly ruin your reputation, blacklist you to them, and bankrupt your spammy business?"
THEM: "If you do not go away now as of yesterday, I will phone 911 for the cops to come and arrest you for harassing me, and sue you for causing me great mental anguish."
As you can readily ascertain, the demonically hostile, adversarial, and anti-social spirit of churlish Nabal is still around, rife and reeking.
Such impolite response is plainly NOT concordant with:
John 16:24 Up to now you have asked nothing in my name; ASK, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
One guy in the past said to me: "Why do you mail messages to people who do not want to receive them?"
My logical retort was: "How to I know if they are going to misconsider my missionary mail to them offensive? What am I - psychic? If their faces are dirty in the sense that they are embarrassing or shaming others by their dirty faces, should I not tell them about it, particularly if some are so dumb that I even need to inform them that for them to continue to have dirty faces in public is reprehensible to other people, and they need to clean themselves up to quit hurting other people?"
Amos 7:12 And Amaziah said to Amos: "O seer, go, flee away to the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there;
13 but never again prophesy at Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom."
14 Then Amos answered Amaziah: "I am no prophet, nor a prophet's son; but I am a herdsman, and a dresser of sycamore trees,
15 and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said to me: "Go, prophesy to my people Israel."
16 Now therefore hear the word of the LORD. You say: 'Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not preach against the house of Isaac.'
17 Therefore thus says the LORD: "Your wife shall be a harlot in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be parceled out by line; you yourself shall die in an unclean land, and Israel shall surely go into exile away from its land."
Micah 2:6 "Do not preach" -- thus they preach -- "one should not preach of such things; disgrace will not overtake us."
Luke 16:16 "The law and the prophets were until John; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and every one enters it violently [kicking and screaming].
Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all godlessness and wickedness of those who by their wickedness suppress the truth.
Acts 13:45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted what was spoken by Paul, and reviled him.
But, the question is, has GOD the Creator spammed us?
He has created us without first asking our permission (which, logically, is easy to understand - being that we had not been created yet to be asked by Him or anyone else about anything at all), and then (again, without first asking our permission) confined us to an inescapable environment which admittedly is rather conducive to our survival.
So HE took the initiative to both create us and - in various ways - both directly and indirectly communicate to and manipulate us as HE chose and chooses (without our prior permission).
So now if we object to all that, and have "duly conveyed" that objection to Him for doing that, is He thus now guilty of spamming us by continuing to directly and indirectly communicate to and manipulate us as He chooses - IF we do NOT want that as we never wanted it in the first place?
IF we so mis-consider such being spammed, WHO can, should, would, or do we complain to, and what (if anything) will the one who we complain to (if anyone) do about it to supposedly "correct" the situation and blacklist God against further spamming not only us but all others?
Had HE a "right" to "spam" us (IF that is (in fact) what He has been, and continues to be, "guilty" of)?
The question of God the Creator having a "right" is both absurd and ridiculous, because the word "right" implies that permission was given to Him by a higher authority to do whatever...and obviously God Himself is already The Highest Authority in existence.
Did HE have an "obligation" or a "duty" to create us and put us into the generally-beautiful, totally-reliable, and indescribably-imaginative environment we all are now "trapped" within (IF one mis-considers that being "trapped")?
The answer is NO.
God the Creator was never bored without us around. He created us simply for the heck of it. In fact, knowing what we know about ourselves, we could quickly and definitively conclude that we are more of an especially-during-warmer-weather partially-exposed-immodest nuisance to Him than occasional entertainment.
Now, there are many (like talkshow host Michael Medved, even Dennis Prager, and even Mark Levin) who believe in a Creator who created everything that exists in reality, but seem content presuming that it is both sufficient and adequate to simply acknowledge His existence, and declare that His immutable will has been and continues to be revealed in the entities around us and of us which He has obviously created....but no more.
They apprehensively sense that further or closer involvement with Him could and most likely would involve themselves with probable inconvenient obligations and responsibilities they really do not want any part of.
Unwilling to be "humiliated" by accepting Jesus as their Redeemer (and then publicly declaring such to their talkshow radio audiences) while embarrassed to acknowledge the non-self-atonable sordid depravity of their own atrocious/worse-than-Nazi-holocaust? sins of (among other things) doubt and proud disbelief against the gospel of Christ instead of humbly proclaiming their helpless dependence upon Messiah Jesus as their Savior and Lord...and instead substituting in their own self-righteous justification, concerning their actual condition to God, with allegiance to "jewish" adiaphora, names, holidays, bodywear, foods, practices....do NOT want to take further steps of publicly-acknowledged faith to admit to the Creatorship of Jesus Christ (Proverbs 30:4, Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1-2, Colossians chapter one and Hebrews chapter one), His redemptive provision for them, and their own dire need for dependence upon Him alone as their Divine Atoner -- even though they declare belief in God having communicated to certain (notably Jewish) humans as our representatives (and indirectly communicated to the other humans) alphabetizable-language words, phrases, sentences, and more to those special humans.....and that the LORD actively directs circumstances to work positively FOR the survival of those who have read and obey His "Scriptural" commands, directives, admonitions, and orders...while working negatively AGAINST the survival of those who have read but NOT obeyed His "Biblical" commands, directives, admonitions, and orders.
When we read the Sacred-66-canonical-books Old-and-New-Testaments Holy Bible, it is clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that (according to that indisputable historical record) He indeed HAS audibly and verbally communicated language-laden messages to certain humans of His choice....and those respected and obviously-honorably-truthful humans as eyewitnesses have relayed that wanted-or-non-wanted ask-for-or-non-asked-for info to the other humans who have not so directly been contacted by their Creator God.
We all, however, SOMEWHAT-directly experience, and hopefully accommodate to, manifestations of the will of Creator God - even those who stubbornly and fearfully remain a tacitly-"devout" non-Christianized jew or muslim.
When we see a huge boulder in the road having fallen down from a mountainside, we adjust to that and survive....or instead seriously injure ourselves or even painfully die if we pretend that it is not there or that we can plow through it unscathed.
That huge boulder is, essentially, a form of Creator God non-verbally saying to us: "YOU get out of MY way, because I am NOT going to get out of YOUR way." If we try to defy that huge boulder as an obviously immutable manifestation of God's will by arrogantly running into it, we will experience the disasterous, pitiful, and pathetic consequences of such non-accommodating defiance and rebellion. And many many things in life, which ALSO are myriad manifestations of the IMMUTABLE and NON-CHANGEABLE will of Creator God, are like that - in principle.
So, MUST we draw closer to God in seeking more knowledge of His revealed Divine Biblical words to us, try to do all it says for survival, and even try to atone for our past mistakes by so doing?
It is that LAST part of "trying to redeem or atone for our past mistakes, errors, and sins" by (though admirably and understandably) trying to be ABSOLUTELY perfect 24/7 in EVERYTHING He has commanded to and for us in His Bible....that is problematic.
And impossible.
Enter the sacrificial system mentioned in the Torah.
It dealt with atonement for mistakes, errors, and sins. But the bloody animal-sacrificial scheme therein was, from the start, and turned out to be, woefully inadequate for complete, permanent, remission and removal of our past sins.
First Samuel 3:14 "Therefore I swear to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be expiated by sacrifice or offering forever."
First Samuel 15:22 And Samuel said: "Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Hey, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to positively respond than the fat of rams."
Psalm 40:6 Sacrifice and offering you do not desire; but you have opened my ears. Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required.
Psalm 50:14 Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High
Psalm 50:23 He who brings thanksgiving as his sacrifice honors me; to him who orders his way aright I will show the salvation of God!"
Psalm 51:16 You have no delight in sacrifice; were I to give a burnt offering, you would not be pleased.
Psalm 51:17 The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, God, you will not despise.
Psalm 116:17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.
Psalm 141:2 Let my prayer be considered incense to you, and the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice!
Proverbs 15:8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is His delight.
Proverbs 21:3 To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
Proverbs 21:27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; how much more when he brings it with evil intent.
Ecclesiastes 9:2 ...one fate comes to all, to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the evil, to the clean and the unclean, to him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As is the good man, so is the sinner; and he who swears is as he who shuns an oath.
Isaiah 57:7 Upon a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed, and to there you went up to offer sacrifice.
Hosea 4:14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot, nor your brides when they commit adultery; for the men themselves go aside with harlots, and sacrifice with cult prostitutes, and a people without understanding shall come to ruin.
Hosea 6:6 I desire continual love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God, rather than burnt offerings.
Hosea 8:13 They love sacrifice; they sacrifice flesh and eat it; but the LORD has no delight in them. Now He will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins; they shall return to Egypt.
Matthew 9:13 Go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.' I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.
Matthew 12:7 And if you had known what this means: 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless.
Romans 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
First Corinthians 5:7 Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed.
Ephesians 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Hebrews 10:1 Being that the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices which are continually offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near.
2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered? If the worshipers had once been cleansed, they would no longer have any consciousness of sin.
3 But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sin year after year.
4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should [and could] take away sins.
5 Consequently, when Christ came into the world, He said: "Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body have you prepared for me;
6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure.
7 Then I said: 'Wow, I have come to do your will, God, as it is written of me in the roll of the book."
8 When He said above: "You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings" (these are offered according to the [ceremonial-not-moral?] law),
9 then He added: "Wow, I have come to do your will." He abolishes the first in order to establish the second.
10 And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. [NO kidding.]
11 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same [only-friendship-dating-service] sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
12 But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice [permanent concubinal-or-more heterosexual marriage] for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God,
13 then to wait until His enemies should be made a stool for His feet. [honeymoon awaiting]
14 For by a single offering [one-time heterosexual marriage contract] He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.
15 And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying:
16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days," says the Lord: "I will put my laws on their hearts [ultimate fertilization], and write them on their minds,"
17 then He adds: "I will remember their sins and their misdeeds no more."
18 Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin. [no need to re-marry once married]
19 Therefore, brethren, being that we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,
20 by the new and living way which He opened for us through the curtain [the hymen?], that is, through His [penile?] flesh,
21 and being that we have a great priest over the house of God,
22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. [stinky bodies should be cleaned before having heterosexual non-transgendered/non-transsexual sexual intercourse]
23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, because He who promised is faithful;
24 and let us consider how to stir up [erotically arouse?] one another to love and good works [sensuous foreplay, followed by cunnilingus and fellatio, then genital conjugative coitus?],
25 not neglecting to meet together [in the marriage bed non-defiled?], as is the habit of some, [prudish] but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
26 For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins [including and especially Christ's sacrificial death on the cross for us],
27 but a fearful prospect of Judgment [temporal and eternal], and a fury of Fire which will consume the adversaries.
28 A man who has violated the law of Moses dies without mercy at the testimony of two or three witnesses.
29 How much worse punishment do you think will be deserved by the person who has spurned the Son of God, and profaned the blood of the covenant by which he/she was sanctified, and outraged the Spirit of grace?
Hebrews 13:15 Through Him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge His name.
Only then can blissful and ecstatic sacred-and-holy spiritual orgasm with the God of Creation occur, which is probably why Christ Jesus mentioned non-transgendered/non-transsexual, male-genital-inserted-into-female-genital, electric-cord-prong-into-electric-wall-socket, gas-pump-nozzle-into-gas-tank-hole, husband-with-bride heterosexual-NOT-homosexual marriage so much in Scripture:
Matthew 22:4 Again he (intending to convey non-spam non-solicited e-mailed-and-other messages with or without the previous permission of Spamhaus) sent other servants, saying [the NON-spam Divine-Commission Law-and-Gospel Missionary Message]: "Tell those who are invited: 'Hey, I have made ready my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves are killed, and everything is ready; come to the marriage feast.'"
8 Then he said to his servants: "The wedding is ready, but those invited were not worthy.
9 Go therefore to the thoroughfares, and invite to the marriage feast as many as you find."
10 And those servants went out into the streets and gathered [with e-mail and other non-spam solicitation?] all whom they found, both bad and good; so the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment [effeminately mopheaded without beard? topless? in shorts? socksless? shoeless?]
12 and he said to him: "Friend, ["friend?"] how did you get in here without a wedding garment?" And the guy was speechless.
13 Then the king said to the attendants: "Bind him hand and foot, and heave him into the [invisibly-flaming] Outer Darkness [while suspended forever]; there they will weep and gnash their teeth." [in airless silence?]
14 Many are called, but few are chosen.
Matthew 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast; and the door was shut.
Luke 12:36 ...and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the marriage feast, so that they may open to him at once when he comes and knocks.
Luke 14:8 When you are invited by any one to a marriage feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest a more eminent man than you be invited by him
Luke 14:9 and he who invited you both will come and say to you: "Give place to this man," and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place.
Hebrews 13:4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be non-defiled; for God will judge fornicators and adulterous. [immodest exhibitionists who randomly exhibit warm-weather-exposed arms and legs and feet in general mixed-gender public view to whoever they are not presently married to]
Revelation 19:7 Let us rejoice and exult and give Him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready
Revelation 19:9 And the angel said to me: "Write this: 'Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.'" And he said to me: "These are true words of God."
Song of Solomon 5:1 I come to my garden, my sister, my bride, I gather my myrrh with my spice, I eat my honeycomb with my honey, I drink my wine with my milk. Eat, friends, and drink: drink deeply, lovers!
Isaiah 62:5 For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.
Jeremiah 2:2 Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem: Thus says the LORD: "I remember the devotion of your youth, your love as a bride, how you followed me in the wilderness, in a land not planted."
Revelation 21:2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband;
21:9 Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and spoke to me, saying: "Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb."
22:17 The Spirit and the Bride say: "Come." And let him who hears say: "Come." And let him who is thirsty come, let him who desires take the water of life without price.
