Poor reasoning my friend. Christians are positionally saved and justified by the blood of Christ when we believe the gospel and receive the seal of the Holy Spirit, but our sanctification and the renewing of our minds is an ongoing process until we receive the redemption of our bodies. I believe...

It was published in syndicated news papers back in the 1960s when I was a child and read the "funnies" every day in the Long Island Press. That strip was loaded with irony, but it was innocent and made people laugh at themselves. That one statement by the character pogo was so well recieved that...

Maybe you don't know how ignore works, but your posts won't even be seen by those who hit that little button, unless they push another little button to view ignored content. By the way, the Holy Spirit will teach any believer willing to believe Him, but we all aren't taught the same things at...

Nope, you clearly neither understand me nor God's purposes in Christ. Your corrupted thinking is consistently on display, making assumptions that exalt yourself over your brothers, and maliciously implying that we believe things that we don't. I won't be responding to such sin anymore. Now it's...

Oceanprayers believes the world's narrative and condemns the saints without examining the truth.

No , I didn't. What the character pogo was saying (and you'd know this if you'd followed the comic regularly) is that we are our own worst enemies. You've been brainwashed by the tares and unrepentant sinners.

I'm not sure that I would agree with this at all. I understood and finally believed the gospel at the age of 39, but I loved Christ's words and wanted to be like Him while still very young, certainly before the age of 10. My problem was that I believed that I deserved a reward for doing the...

That was yesterday and sorry, I'm not even sure what I had for dinner. However I can assure that what we both saw as obvious was taught to us by the same teacher, God the Holy Spirit. I say it isn't obvious to everyone, because some people teach themselves, not believing that God will teach them...

That's what scripture says, so I believe it, but God's grace is primarily for the lost, not the saved. If you're being obedient as a believer, you're being blessed, but what did God say? 10 “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels...

Nonsense. The cartoon depicts animals having conversations with bizarre language and the originator was a Christian. What race do you imagine that the characters depict? Such a statement only implies that you think like a racist, assigning race to animal cartoon characters because of your low...

My eyes are getting a bit blurry, so that's fine. I can get a bit unpredictable when I'm tired, but it's pleasant to walk in agreement with a brother.

I believe that repentance is the work of the Holy Spirit upon our hearts when we are convicted of our sin and turn to Him as Savior, but I don't know if it's possible to ignore such conviction. It's not the same as conscience as I was able to ignore my conscience with self justification and...

I don't know why anyone would be named after a color pattern, but my family's crest is 3 pines vertical or 3 piles of cut wood. I assume that my ancestors were foresters for the king, but I really don't know a thing about them. (I do think that I've seen another crest associated with the name...

Still one for one. I spent 4 years in Spanish classes, got passing grades, but still can't follow a conversation or a Spanish broadcast. I never had any desire to study a dead language and I can't conceive of being more proficient at one than the language of my paternal grandparents. I just...

Faither's post (the one I responded to.)

I didn't mention you, but if the shoe fits.... (Typically, those who defend themselves before being accused have conscience issues. Don't sweat it. God forgives all our sin, not just some of it.)

But he specifically said he was addressing the journey before salvation, or our "Lost state". Some people equate redemption with salvation, and claim that only the saved have been redeemed, but redeemed just means "bought back" and in the case of the world, Christ "paid it all" and has become...

That's why I lovingly refer to the Don as the great pumpkin. (I'll admit that I never liked what I read about his exploits in the local New York newspapers growing up. He was always portrayed as the spoiled rich kid that had the world for his playground and I can't see how that's really changed. )

Hi brother. That cat is Pardo in the native tongue of my paternal grandparents but I avoid calling myself good except in the vernacular (I'm okay with that.) It's funny as a meme, but I'm thinking that the big cat is motivation for the dogs to run, and that, I find even funnier. Carnivores don't...
