If by "word games" you mean, "You actually take what I say seriously," yeah, reading your words and taking you at your word is a "word game". When you change your words, it's confusing. So, OK, you agree with 1 John 3:23,24, you just don't agree with what you think my understanding of it is...

Oops, you said I was stuck on 1 John 3:23,24, then, afterward, you said I'm not stuck on Scripture. You can't seem to keep your words straight.

I can't be asked to continually repost your words. Rather, why did you change your words?

So, you're saying you agree with those words, but you don't agree with how I'm interpreting them?

To clarify, one example of abiding in Christ by obeying His commands would be when the Galatians received the Spirit after they heard the Gospel and believed it (Gal 3:1-3)--one of the commands is to "believe in the Name of God's Son". The issue is you deny the second part of that command, "love...

Well, I don't know why you're saying you don't know why I'm saying you're going back on your words--I literally quoted your words to you. Here, let me remind you again. I said... You responded So, yes, you affirmed the words, but, now, you're repudiating the words, and you're even denying...

So, you're going back on your words you formerly spoke You do not agree with God's Word, which explicitly states abiding in Christ is by obeying His Commands (believe in the Name of God's Son and love one another) and then you receive the Spirit. 1 John 3 23This is His commandment, that we...

So, then, you agree that only those who obey Christ abide in Christ and are given the Spirit (1 Jn 3:23,24), bc the eternal life God has promised us is only located in His Son (1 Jn 5:11), right?

For instance, someone actually boasted that they and their like-minded friends here all relished the fact that they made me upset because of their disorderliness and destruction of my thread. They did not treat me with love, they loved harming me, contrary to God's command (1 Jn 3:23). They love...

I edited to add this: "He who waters others will himself be watered"--I get reminded of a lot, and enlightened sometimes, while talking with others. Even people who hate me. LOL

I'm partly discussing this to suss it out myself! lol I present what I found, and with all the grace in us hovering over it, it helps me understand it. Talking with Christians is edifying because they have the Holy Spirit, not because they have answers per se. Their grace edifies me, corrects...

Romans 2 says the Christian Jews were storing up wrath for themselves because of their disdain for their Gentile Christian brothers and their pride over their knowledge of the Law while also being breakers of the Law (hypocrisy), so, yes.

I hope you abide in Him even better--that you were edified.

Abiding in Him includes believing in His love and mercy.

You have your own experiences with God. I would think God's Word only echoes those Realities.

Yeah our heavenly homes are affected by our deeds.

Yeah, you're revealing God's righteousness from faith to faith (Ro 1:5,16,17, 14:5,23), not your own from the Law (Php 3:9).That does lead to becoming spiritually wealthy.

Abiding in the Word, remaining in faith, walking in faith, means you're abiding in Christ, and you're in a position to receive the eternal life/Spirit.

Since abiding includes believing He forgives you when you fail/sin, I don't see why not.

The words don't change depending on my motives : you abide in Him by obeying His commands to believe in the Name of God's Son, and love one another. 1 John 3 23This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us. 24The one...
