The whole prison heard Paul and Silas singing hymns, Acts 16:25. That shows the power of God's word in song. The church needs more of that.
and just hours earlier their backs had been t orn open with whips .
Paul and silas had THE joy of the LORD , the true abundante life . Even in prison they were a SINGING .

Sure everybody likes FAIR…. To love, hate, gaslight, badger, speak whatever they please.

Scripture is neither easy or simple or appeasing to the Carnal Mind.

The Carnal Mind concludes by weighing a logical choice.
There is nothing Logical about believing in something…
A man can not, see, hear, smell, taste, touch.

Scripture is Knowledge and the Understanding thereof, is According to God and what Is JUST.


Glory to God,
Taken
Lets not judge one another but discuss the words of God as he Spoke them instead.

If you will start a new thread on what you wrote here, I will discuss: "I did tell you ch 4. I don't know why we would discuss that if you don't accept Paul. That is the problem I have. You are never going to see what I'm showing you about the Sabbath if you can't accept Paul (warts and all) as apostle to the Gentiles sent by the Lord. it's such a shame because it's really very beautiful. Jesus is our Sabbath- He is the whole idea behind "rest""

About Paul, I am critical of the way he wrote. but I do not reject him but the complicated way me mixes concepts together that confuse so many. Paul was trained under Gamaliel, a respected teacher of the law. Because of this, his way of writing follows the style of the learned men of his time. He often builds long arguments, uses deep reasoning, and connects many ideas together. This kind of teaching can be hard to follow, especially for simple readers.

That is why even in the early days, some believers found his writings difficult. The apostle Peter himself spoke about this:
2 Peter 3:15–16 (KJV)
“And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.”

Paul wrote with a trained and complex style, and because of that, some things are not easy to understand. When people twist those hard parts, it can lead them away from the truth instead of toward it. it is why I prefer to use the words of Jesus but not exclusively, I do quote Paul when he is clear about something. It is to avoid long arduous arguments. Also the way to salvation is perfectly explained by Jesus own words in Matthew, John, Mark, and Luke. so it you start a new thread I will gladly discuss.
I'm glad that you are beginning to change your view on Paul. I absolutely agree with Peter on Paul's writings. Much can be terribly confusing and we do see the results today- but having said that- Peter wasn't blaming Paul- instead he pointed to those who abuse or twist what he wrote- and we do see that today- but 9/10 it is about cherry-picking verses. He wrote A LOT- and we need to take it all into consideration and meld it with the other apostles and the Lord. It' works very nicely when we do.
I'll start a thread but not just yet. I will tag you when I do. I'm a bit busy this time of year.
It's not a terribly popular view as I can see.. but I think that is because many have been trained to think that of Sunday as the Sabbath.
Some do know it's every day, but they feel they've done their part on Sunday which is also wrong think.

@amigo de christo -

You are preaching, your story, and other men…
Who have Received Salvation…continue to Sin…
while quoting God Forbids, continuance of Sin.

What exactly do you think Sin IS?
Remember, Jesus always said after a healing go and Sin No more? jesus did in fact ask not to sin. can we on our own? Remember Jesus dis say he would send us the Holy Spirit to help, so yes its possible to sin no more of he would not have asked.

yes and I see this abuse and twisting constantly many don't even notice it, the main reason is they do not know the words of Jesus very well or have forgotten its why I preach his words. ill be waiting don't rush , no problem.

I have no issue with rightly judging, or word meaning in context, or discussion in truth, or disagreeing, and knowing why.

So how does one say, they became Saved and continued to Sin? Even quoting…God Forbid”… and not know How God forbids Sin, after receiving Salvation?

I specifically, Said SAVED…
And this your example…
Do you believe, this Person, in this example is speaking of…
Was SAVED?
Then UN-saved?

Tnx.

Hebr 6:4 For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit,
Hebr 6:5 and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come,
Hebr 6:6 and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.

I think yes.

Jesus said so Himself. Best example, The Parable of the Sower. 3 types of Christians, only one is in the Book of Life written before the creation of A&E.

Biblical examples :

1. King Salomon at the end of his life.
2. Judas who saw all the miracles, even performed miracles by the authority of Jesus, only God knows what went wrong in that brain.
3. Hymenaeus and Alexander -- 1 Tim 1:19

We are saved, but have to endure, till the end.

And what scrips they do know they were trained to see throu gh the lens OF a teaching of man . and boy they sure did twist it too .
But open that bible and let us see who it is we have truly been believing and been following .

exactly my friend . For God has given us a new heart . IT is he who worketh through us
what is PLEASING IN HIS SIGHT . and we both know SIN IS NOT PLEASING IN HIS SIGHT .
SIN is of the flesh , yet many STILL walk AFTER THE FLESH .
WHen i say many i speak of christendom , cause all unbelivers still walk after the flesh .
What DID paul say . IF any man has NOT the SPIRIT of CHRIST then he is NONE OF HIS . as i once was .
AND if one has the SPIRIT then the body is dead because of SIN .
Shall we continue in SIN . GOD forbid .
MANY , my friend still walk after the flesh . NOT only do they do so , THEY EVEN JUSTIFY THEIR SINS
for all to see . Holding rainbows , saying GOD IS LOVE , but knowing NEITHER GOD OR HIS LOVE .
Claiming to have the SPIRIT
but not having the PROOF . FOR what is the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT and WHAT DOES IT DO .
WELL lets see what the bible says shall we .
FOR the fruit of the SPIRIT is in all goodness , righteousness and T RUTH
proving what is acceptable to .............not the world and the changing views of it , BUT TO GOD HIMSELF .
TOo many love a jesus that accepts SIN . that one cannot save them at all .

So how does one say, they became Saved and continued to Sin? Even quoting…God Forbid”… and not know How God forbids Sin, after receiving Salvation?

Jesus clearly calls a person to leave sin.
John 8:11 (ASV)
“…Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.”
This shows the direction. A person who comes to Him is not meant to stay in sin. The call is real.

But Jesus also shows that this is a daily walk, not something finished in one moment.
Luke 9:23 (ASV) “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.”

So the believer is learning, growing, and choosing what is right each day.
we are not left alone to do this.

Jesus promised help.
John 14:16–17 (ASV)
“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive…”

John 14:26 (ASV)
“But the Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you.”
This means we are not trying to overcome sin by our own strength only. The Holy Spirit teaches, reminds, and helps us walk in what Jesus said. This is why change is possible today.

Still, Jesus also shows that we may stumble, and when we do, we must turn back, not stay in sin.
Matthew 6:12 (ASV) “And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.”
He teaches His disciples, his followers to ask forgiveness, showing that when we fall, we return to God.

And He shows the heart we must have:
Matthew 18:21–22 (ASV) “…Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?…
Jesus saith… Until seventy times seven.”
If we are to forgive again and again, it shows that God also receives the one who returns sincerely.

At the same time, Jesus gives a warning:
John 5:14 (ASV) “…sin no more, lest a worse thing befall thee.”

So this is not permission to live in sin. The direction is always away from sin.

Blessings.

Hebr 6:5 and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come,
Hebr 6:6 and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.

I think yes.

I disagree.

Why?

Heb. 6:
[4] For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened,
and have tasted of the heavenly gift,
and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
[5] And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
[6] If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Enlightened…Heard the Truth
Tasted…Had the Truth in their Mouth
Tasted…Believ-ED the Truth in their Mouth.
Holy Ghost…WITH Them.
Holy Ghost… Blessing Them.
Fell Away…Rejected the Truth.

Fell Away… Spit the Truth out of Their mouth.
Fell Away… Stopped Believing

Having the Truth, Then Rejecting the Truth…
IS a Shame Reflection Upon God.

Man no longer WITH God.
God no longer WITH that man.

Jesus said so Himself.

I disagree..

* Being enlightened, is steps to Learning About God.
* Tasting, is experiencing, Gods Truth, Results, Blessings, Being WITH God, and God WITH the man.
* Falling Away, Is Falling Away from what they Were Given… Faith.
* Thus… Falling From Faith…
* Not fallen From / Salvation.

When they Fell from Faith…

By default They Jeopardized, THEIR, Bought, paid for, offered Gift of Salvation…
* Which REQUIRES a mans living Body TO HAVE FAITH, before it Dies…
And Receive it’s Gift Of SALVATION AFTER, the man’s Body Dies.


scripture teaches …
“Taste” the Word of God….God shall Be WITH you.
Spit out…God shall Leave you.
“EAT” the Word of God…God shall Be
WITH you, and IN you, and NEVER Leave you.

We are saved, but have to endure, till the end.

Disagree…
The Sav-ED… Are Already… Bodily Dead….

They WHO are NOT bodily dead, NOT Saved, wHO have Faith, WHO do NOT fall from Faith…(enduring)…
SHALL BE Saved, when “THEIR” body dies.

Why Is THAT…(taking a chance)?
Because humans constantly have HIGHER Powers ( Not with or In God ) Influencing them…(demons, governments, parents, friends, celebrities, teachers, employers, internet, etc.)
And taking that chance is called “Hoping”.
Not secure assuredness.

Tasting…Believing, Have Faith, With God…is Not Saved…it is hoping, your are Not influenced / under pressure to Fall Away from Faith.

Sav-ED is With and IN God…
And God WITH and IN the person…
Having Gods Power in you…
And what Power is Greater than Gods,
That could, make you Consider or Ever Reject God?
Zero.

Glory to God,
Taken

Sirs what must I DO to Be saved . Lets examine the answer paul and silas gave that jailor .
I will leave us with an a , b , c , d mutliple question .
Was it
A . Oh just hug and get along cause we all serve the same GOD anyway .
B . Ye must walk ten miles and go dip into a river sev en times .
C . Oh ye must be a roman catholic or etc
D . BELEIVE YE ON JESUS CHRIST and YE SHALL BE SAVED .
Pretty simple if ya ask me .
But beware lest one cometh to another jesus who sure seemed to accept sins
and even gave a pass to other religoins t hrough interreligious anti christ dialogue . cause THAT One AINT JESUS and it cannot save .

What exactly do you think Sin IS?
anything in rebellion to GOD .
And if one believes not that JESUS is the Christ they shall die in their sin .
Something the ecumenical harlot calls a lie . But it be she who is the liar .
And let none walk into her ways and her call for interreligious interfaith dialgoue .
For she denies the dire need to Beleive on Christ and rather tells a fat lie .

Disagree.
Sin Against God IS “UNBELIEF IN God”
Period.

Forgiveness, IS for Having NOT Believed.

And if one believes not that JESUS is the Christ they shall die in their sin .

Disagree.
BELiEVERS in God, OT were saved.
BELIEVERS IN God, Shall Be Saved.
BELIEVERS IN God and Jesus, Shall Be Saved.
Confessed BELIEVERS IN God and Jesus IS Christ, ARE Saved.
Confessing BELIEVERS IN God and Jesus IS the Christ, now-future, Shall Be Saved.


Something the ecumenical harlot calls a lie . But it be she who is the liar .

Who / What / Where is this UnSEEN “ecumenical harlot” (talking in Ears of Christians)?
How ARE YOU Hearing, Reading Her Words?

And let none walk into her ways and her call for interreligious interfaith dialgoue .

What IS your… “ interreligious and interfaith”
Meaning that you talk about excessively but NEVER Define what you think those words Mean?

For she denies the dire need to Beleive on Christ and rather tells a fat lie .

She… who?
She… Her Words are Where?

all that writing to call CHRIST a liar .
WHO HIMSELF said , IF YOU BELEIVE NOT that I AM HE then you shall die in your sins .
BUT YOU said , YOU DISAGREE .
You must have thought , as usual , i brought my own words . NO mam . I BROUGHT JESUS OWN WORDS
and this is what YOU did to such words . Said , I , as in yourself , DISAGREE .
WELL you wont be saying this to JESUS on HIS DAY . WHen many who were double tongued
and preached both beleif and unbeleif , WHICH WAS REALLY UNBELIEF , are cast out into the Lake of fire .
You better get b ack in the bible and stop hoping and trusting in men and start actually learning
to TRUST GOD , CHRIST , HIS OWN WORDS .

I brought you a vidoe showing you some of this interreligious interfaith by pope leo .
It was huge on pope franics too . But when i bring you things , YOU NEVER seem to watch
or if you do its no comment . I been bringing you a few things .
THEY are LYING to all and trying to make it seem as if its the way to peace . THEY are lying to us all .
And they , THEY work on b oth sides of the aisle . But i see you arleady seem to be heading into it .
You brought many words to justify calling the one who said
IF YOU BELEIVE NOT then you shall DIE IN YOUR SINS , a liar . JESUS said it . AND HE said it more than once
IF fact they all went around preaching JESUS and EVEN warning them to beware UNBELEIF IN HIM .
Using words like PERISH . using words like unworthy OF EVERLASTING LIFE .
buT today everyone seems to be preaching NOT JESUS , NOT the DIRE NEED TO REPENT and BELIEVE ON HIM
but a fairy tale fable of how its okay if one believes not and that we must just be one for world peace .
WE are BEING LIED TOO my friend . Now bible up and fast . YOU SEE again the words of JESUS
and later of the apostles .
SEE THEIR WARNINGS as well as what shall come upon ALL those who had rejected JESUS THE CHRIST .
ITS not my way , its not your way , its not trumps way or bidens way or the popes way or the nar realm ways .
ITS GODS WAY and its time TO LEARN THIS FAST . seek YE OUT OF THE BooK OF GOD the HOLY WORDS of HIS TRUTH .

You should be sorry, Because I said no such Thing!

I have already been Made Saved and Quicken, by The Lords Offering and my confession TO Him of my Agreement and Acceptance of His Conversion.

you Do not have to continue on this path .

BS… utter Lie. The Converted IN Christ Are Never in Jeopardy of Being Without God.


I TRIED to warn you . I really did .

You warning the Converted… is Simply revealing your OWN lack of Faith and Trust IN God To Fulfill His Own Promises and Word.
