Evan Plante The biggest problem I see is, when does it count? God allowed a gradient of "turning over," . . .

What do you guys think about Christians going out witnessing with just the NT and Psalms? What do you think about "Bibles" that omit most of the OT because that makes them more portable? What about leaving this type of "Bible" as a gift to people when going witnessing?

Help me out. Would I be correct in this statement, "Believing in a God that is loving and merciful, while rejecting the idea that He is also a God of justice who WILL punish sin is to believe in a different God and thus, idolatry."

(The questioner asked "Is believing in an incomplete view of God (loving side only) or a wrong view of God idolatry?")

Would I be correct in my response, or would having a correct understanding of God as both "merciful" and "just" . . .

I received a question this weekend that I've been thinking about quite bit, even before I received the question...
..."Hello, The bible tells us to humble ourselves. Also, that God gives grace to the humble (not the other way around-that God humbles those who he has given grace). We know we can do nothing (even have faith or soften our hearts [without God's help]) so how can we humble ourselves?"
