Thank you! A very kind thing to say :) It all really boils down to faith...true blue, unadulterated complete faith, Amen! "John makes no promises with regard to these people. We can pray for them out of love and concern, but we can't have the same confidence with these prayers that we have...

Wonderful, ty. I have saved this post to my computer, I would like to re read it. One thing though: "A good beginning is to accustom ourselves in saying 'forgive me' and assuming the blame in all circumstances." Yes, I am all for asking for forgiveness but to assume blame to oneself if they...

Amen. We also tend to forget "Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Romans 8:1 I also tend to beat myself up over things done in the old nature although, it has kind of morphed into more of a "regret" than condemnation...and we KNOW where that comes from...

:rolleyes:

There's something a bit off with you, I really do not appreciate the rejoinder. It smacks of sexual innuendo. Careful.

Yes, I hear them every day and see them in my yard as well, they are beautiful. I hear that in the animal kingdom, the males are "prettier" because they are the ones who have to attract the females, rather than the other way around with humans, lol.

Did not know that! Are there acceptions? Like, one who might have a criminal record? A felon?

Very nice Helen. Surrendering can sure be scary, until we know that His plans for us are always better than our wildest dreams ❤✝

I wouldn't waste my time @Yehren . So very many are simply blinded and deafened to the truth, they would rather believe a lie and point fingers, putting people in their own little boxes. Sad really :(

Okay, so what does the bible say about it?

Yes, I am aware. And they were the ones who attributed the works of Jesus to satan.

"but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin "-- It seems pretty straight forward to me. Eternal is eternal whether it be before or after the Cross, speaking to Jews or Gentiles, pharisees. I see no pardon through grace either. (shrug) :)

Thank you Philip, I suppose, yes, of course by His Grace, and if blessed enough, to find good fellowship with our brothers and sisters as, we really do need each other. It seems to me that some people are prone to certain behaviors throughout their lives. There are some wonderfully calm and...

I have my moments :D

Agreed. Ty.

"at the same time we were sanctified, set apart unto good works. You see, I no longer believe the process we go through during our life is called sanctification like most of the Church does. I kept seeing it as past tense" Hi CL, I used to believe sanctification was a process too but, no longer...

Kind of like when Seinfeld wears a mailman's uniform does not make him a mailman :D :D Sry, couldn't help it! :eek:

"Before everything else, we need humility —so as to be ready to say to every word we hear forgive me; for by humility are all the arrows of the adversary broken." I love that phrase. Just might "borrow" it :) "Humility does not become angry at anyone and angers no one, and it considers anger...

"In both cases, as I understand it, these are people who will spend the remainder of their lives in their sins, without hope, having already been judged." Sadly, yes...I agree :(

May I ask, is there a reason for all white?
