Murr could not be more vacant!

Biblical Grace is unmerited favor. Not a girl from Poughkeepsie! Unless "Grace" is defined in it's correctly Biblical meaning, Murr preaches a Different Gospel!

GRACE is the corner stone of Biblical Salvation! And defining it is exactly what seperates a true Christian form works oriented religionests such as Buddhists, Roman Catholics, JW's, Mormons and universalists!

It is God's free action for the benefit of His people. There is nothing we can do to EARN it as in dori's religion. It is different than Justice and Mercy. Justice is getting what we deserve. dori has chosen Justice, and so she shall receive her wish. Mercy is not getting what we deserve. Grace is getting what we do not deserve. In grace we get eternal life, something that, quite obviously, we do not deserve. But because of God's love and kindness manifested in Jesus on the Cross, we receive the great blessing of redemption.

Grace is God's Riches At Christ's Expense. Grace rules out all human merit. It is the product of God, that is given by God, because of who He is not because of who we are. It is the means of our salvation (Eph. 2:8-9). We are no longer under the Law, but under grace (Rom. 6:14). (See 1 Cor. 15:11; Rom. 5:2, 15-20; 2 Cor. 12:9; and 2 Cor. 9:8).
