This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

question for the board theologians by melanzana
I saw a clip going semi-viral of Scott Scheffler after he won the Masters saying he had gotten a message from a friend in the morning that no matter what happened in the final round, his "victory's secure on the cross," that he is secure forever.
What does he mean by this? Is that the (largely?) Protestant belief that as long as one believes in Jesus one is saved?
In my pea brain, his comments seem presumptuous. Doesn't he still have a life to live and be a good person and do good things? How can he be so sure right now? Can one ever really be sure?
