Anytime any of you have "corrected" me, I have gone to the word of the Lord as a Berean, and have found your correction to be wanting. Iow, what you have said in correction of me was not consistent with the whole counsel of God. #1, first of all, I did not call you satan, I was addressing the...

I think that He did, indeed, mean what He said. However, some people have to be given it gently, eased into the truth of what God can do for them. I think that Romans 4:5 speaks on the issue well. We are declared righteous even though we are ungodly, our identity in Christ is that we are...

I always considered that to mean that it is better to declare your love and be openly rebuked for it, than to keep it to yourself. I suppose that there is a place for people rebuking other people in the body of Christ; but I will just say that when it shows up on the internet, it looks ugly...

What speaks to me more is the exhortation that comes immediately afterward: 2Ti 4:5, But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. and before: 2Ti 3:10, But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith...

Mal 3:6, For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Heb 13:8, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

John may indeed be using hyperbole in his statement in 1 John 3:9, so that he is in effect saying, that if anyone is in Christ, the direction of his life has changed, from walking towards sin, death, and hell, to walking towards righteousness, life, and heaven. I, for one, do not believe that...

Show me. Up to this point I have heard very much the accusing finger pointed at me; but no scriptural refutation of anything that I have said that you call heresy. I am in good company with Paul the apostle: Act 24:14, But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy...

My contention has nothing to do with complaining about real correction from the word of the Lord; but with the spirit that some "Christians" come across with that is basically abrasive and not according to the Lord's kindness. I would remind those posting that unbelievers are watching and that...

I guess some are further along than others.

I am beginning to grow tired of "Christians" responding to other Christians with insults and abrasive statements. I have to say that this kind of bantering is not glorifying to the Lord. One point to remember when posting is, "Is my post according to the Lord's kindness?" For is it not...

If Samuel and Elijah were alive today, they might have been one of your patients...? Except that they truly heard the voice of the LORD in an audible way; while your patients apparently are hearing demons or else a figment of their imagination.

As a foundation for your understanding you need to understand that God is the Father, 1 Corinthians 8:6, Romans 15:6, James 3:9 (kjv), Ephesians 4:6. That is who God is. He is the Father. One God, even the Father. When you get around to verses stating that the Son is God, understand them in...

Then you will side with the opposite side to what you are siding with now.

2Co 5:17, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 1Th 5:23, And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus...

Yes, shame on you.

The Spirit, obviously. Which is not to say that the words of holy scripture do not stand as the bastion of spiritual truth. If anyone says something that is contradictory to scripture, I will take the holy scripture over and above what that person is saying any day of the week. Now if they...

No malice whatsoever in that post...:rolleyes:. The reality is, your "sound exegesis" is so often contradicted by something else in the word of the Lord.

There is one group here, that pats themselves on the back for bearing thorns and briers to certain others on these boards, and then there is the other group, that does not bear briers or thorns but sits and takes it while they are "verbally" attacked by the first group. I think that I will side...
