Some persons are very bitter, and it comes through in their writing.
I, as yourself, am sorry about this.
She's even told me I'm ignorant.
Not a very friendly comment.
I am not "bitter" as you assume and imply--since it is quite clear about whom you are speaking from your third statement. You are ignorant--we all are--you would be wise to accept that about yourself. Do you have the Bible memorized? If so, are you word-perfect in that memorization? Since you seem to be one who touts yourself as a Bible teacher, perhaps it would be good to hear from Pastor J. Vernon McGee (departed now but who held an M. Div and a Th.D from Dallas Theological Seminary). I remember a broadcast of his where he declared (and he was elderly at the time), "I've been studying the Bible nearly all my life, but all I know is that I don't know anything." He would often cite, "Knowledge puffs up but love builds up."
I still believe your teaching of the necessity of maintaining salvation through good works to be seriously in error, denying God's effectual work of grace.
