The cycle of abuse

[farouk]

Sounds odd to say not in this life but in the next. can’t answer for anyone else but more often than not I do not see plainly and I get tossed to and fro so was just wondering what others had to say there.

What I meant was, among consevative evangelical Protestants the 'holiness' teaching of 'sinless perfection' is not widely held.

Although positionally we are seen as perfect/complete in Christ.

In view of Romans and Galatians on justification, the believer can say:

"How perfect is His righteousness,
In which unspotted beauteous dress
His saints have ever stood."

(From: 'Come, let us sing the matchless worth'.)

Thanks! There is something so absorbing about history in stone! :)

It's very old. But aren't we highjacking somebody else's thread here?

Sounds a great idea; thanks!

Perhaps we should have a history thread.

Perhaps we should have a history thread.

Maybe so!

The "Fellowship" section seems to one where all sorts of subjects can be posted.

You guys in the UK have such a lot of history.

The original thread topic isn't much going anywhere, anyway.

Is that what the goats taught you. Do some independent bible study, then come back in a couple years and tell me who naild him to that stick.

Your love is cold.

Return blessings for curses it says, but I guess that what you believe is enough for you.

 

[JellyJam]

What I find disgraceful in this place, is how so many Christians think they can attack each other, and at the same time believe that Jesus approves of them.

Did you return a blessing for the "curse" that you think "Waiting on him" pronounced on you, Jelly Jam?

What you see as an "attack" is often just honest disagreement. We all know that, most of the time, ill-will is not intended toward a brother or sister in Christ.

Hmm, the burden of love lays on those who say they have it.

Seems to me that when journalists report someone has 'attacked' someone else, it really serves to make it sound more exciting and maybe sell more newspapers or get more website clicks.

Well, congratulations, guess what that makes you? Can you spell h-y-p-o-c-r-i-t-e? What do you have---hate?

JellyJesus and all of that.
