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...

1. 1 Jn 3:23,24 says His commands are to believe in Him and love one another, and that only those who abide in Him by obeying these commands receive the Spirit. 1 Jn 5:21 shows us what leads the "little children" to not abide (1 Jn 2:28): idolatry. If we examine Jn 15, we see this same dynamic...

Even if your ridiculous assertions were entertained, wood is not "refined" by fire, its burned. Lol Metals are refined in a fire. Lol You're really having a hard time accepting your error, so you raise even more errors. Just humbled yourself.

Lol "Again", you get thrown in the fire if you don't abide. You want people to believe that's not problematic. You are not helping them by telling them that.

You don't know Scripture. I can't help you if you reject Scripture. What can I do.

I believe God changes lives, and I believe it says "God is at work" there fore "obey". You see mutual exclusivity wherever there is none. That is your issue not mine.

The serpent was a type, it doesn't have a one for one comparability--if it does, then you believe that Jesus Christ will be destroyed in the future, because people are idolizing Him, just as occurred with the bronze serpent. You demonstrate profound ignorance once again.

Yes I preach walking in faith, just as James said "Abraham was justified by works [of faith]"--just as Paul says the believer who doesn't walk in faith, but does what he doubts, is "condemned" because Gods righteousness is only revealed "from faith to faith" (Ro 1:5,16,17, 14:5,23).
