A humble man would understand that God will choose whom He will and save whom He wills....
Just so.
Without holiness none shall see the Lord.
Again, just so.
And I could cite you..and I have...over and over ...all the warnings...but you ignore these. Many are like you...who read what they want to read and believe what they want based on an emotional human logic that is set on self-preservation.
Your opinions, but not based in fact, only on your perceptions, as colored by your temperment, which is revealed in your posts.
You want to paint me as emotionally set on self-preservation, but if you believe this, you have only deceived yourself, and then go on to misrepresent me to others. What would you call that? If you don't believe it yourself, and say it anyway . . .
You warn that those whom God gave Himself in a human death to purchase to Himself, that He will send this into eternal shame and misery if they don't measure up, and you don't see the contradiction in this statement!
So don't ask me over and over for bible verses you know you are going to ignore.
I ask you already knowing that you will not reply, cannot reply, that's why I ask. I know you won't. My hope is that others will see what is true, that these things are not in the Bible, and that is why you will not post Scriptures to teach these. They don't.
Now you will complain that your sensitive nature is being attacked.
This is just you launching into your ad hominems again. Those without valid arguments always reach for the fallacies, I think! At least that's what I've seen over the years. Call someone on it, and that's the refrain. OH, You are SO SENSITIVE!
Remember . . . your words are not mine . . . so where is the dishonesty really?
But the truth requires that you sacrifice your emotional attachment to yourself. You can play the victim or... humble yourself and learn.
This would be that straw man that keeps floating around.
I say, Where is this in the Bible, and you say, OH, stop playing the victim!
Some discussion, huh! Not much a picture of holiness to make me sound like something I'm not.
