Why o why do people like so much to contradict Scripture?

Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto
your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give
good things to them that ask him?

The NT does NOT teach this. James is COUNTERING this false understanding
of Paul. But instead of listening to his correction, you corrupt his
message to mean exactly the *opposite* of what he is trying to say.

>That is semi-Pelagianism.

You just can not avoid calling us names, can you? And worse, names that
DO NOT APPLY BECAUSE WE ARE NOT PELAGIANS. OR ARMINIANS. At this point,
I can only conclude you are purposely being obtuse, or worse, simply too
dense to grasp the simple fact.

Time and time again you prove that you know nothing about Orthodoxy.
Not a whit.
