    The apostle Paul invented it. The Gospel writers, who wrote their works after he wrote his, attempted to refute his teachings in the Gospels, or perhaps Jesus actually did teach what is found in the Gospels that contradicts Paul's teachings. Basically, Jesus didn't teach it - Paul did.

    Lord, Lord is found in Matthew 7, with respect to a salvation based on works. Paul the Apostle is a prime example of living a nearly perfect life under the Levitical Law. It is Paul that first coins the phrase "Saved by grace." (Ephesians 2) Chapter 2 of Colossians expounds more in-depth concerning the Law vs. the work of Christ in a man's heart. The Law is against us. Christ is for us.

    I saw my friend today. Here is why I call her Sugar Bowl.

    She asked if I wanted to make a deal about taking a pic of her 'spider'. I jumped in the car and had the money in her pretty little hand in like twenty minutes. She needed four hundred to pay some mechanic under the table to fix her fender and tail light to hopefully stay out of jail.

    She took my camera into the shower while I waited for her to reappear in the drive thru window and talk..

    She shouted triumphantly when she returned to give me the camera. She told me to go to Burger King and score her a #1, "With cheese."

    I looked at the picture when I got to the parking lot of the Burger King. I had to text her that I wasn't talking about a real spider when we agreed on what she would be willing to do.

    The pic shows her pubic region. there is a spider kind of stuck to her inner thigh. If you turn the picture just right, it is apparent that she is sitting down.

    We talked about her butthole which is what I meant when I used the word 'spider'. She had made the distinction between her 'cookie' and her pubic hair in previous exposures..

    She also observed that I probably wanted some of 'her front' and I assured her in no uncertain terms that she had observed correctly.

    She is going to retake the spider pic now that she knows what a spider is according to my dictionary.

    One other thing I found interesting was the amount of time she spent in the shower arranging the pic. Her skin is very white and she has luscious thighs. Portions of her skin are red.

    I believe it means saved by the grace of the all good spirit of God because He is graceful, as long as you follow His ways you will be saved

    Paul said that. Jesus actually said good works is very important in getting to Heaven.

    Jesus did... The Thief on the Cross! Jesus told all who came to him with willingness...

    I condemn you not, go and sin no more... Now that is Grace, and to be told to go and sin no more... really means *live in Grace*.
