    If you say the word "probably'" is enough to disqualify the statement as a condemnation, I'll just have to take your word for it. I trust you. :)

    I'm sorry it took so long to reply to this. I got distracted. Let's see... (Hopefully we can find one on-topic) I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. (John 10:28) Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those...

    I guess that's why I said not necessarily helpful instead of not helpful at all. ;):):D:cool:

    With kind and friendly regards to you, as well, I tend to agree but your say-so doesn't quite make it so. :)

    Do I need to quote all that Paul has to say about unity? Because it is immense. The fact (based on reputable research) is that most of us (Christians) are not actively drawing nearer to Christ, and it is a matter of simple geometry that, as we draw nearer and nearer to Christ, we cannot help but...

    How limber is your neck, BB? ;) Happy? It seems sad to me. :( Are you sure of that? :)

    Not every verse that contains the word "saint" definitively defines "saint." Other verses depict saints merely as church members. :)

    Not to belabor the point, but what I like or don't like really doesn't matter. If you think acknowledging a victory on your part is the best way to get through to those you're trying to reach then, by all means, continue. I just think much of what you say needs to be heard, so I express my...

    God changed Seventh Day Sabbath Worship to First Day of the Week

    Uh, you're quoting stuff that I never wrote and, frankly, I don't understand how come to such twisted conclusions from Scripture that is so plain that a little child could understand it. I don't know how to answer such obfuscation. I think we're done. At least for now. May God bless you.

    This is atrocious, FB. I'm really disappointed by this. I'm sorry if this raises your ire, but I don't get the calling into question others' standing with God. It is exactly the kind of judgment Paul warned against. And I'm pretty sure it's squarely against forum rules. I hope you still consider...

    I'm not into ecumenism for ecumenism's sake, if that's what you're getting at. And there's a big difference between marking and avoiding, and agitating and insulting. I don't see much avoiding going on, at all. I don't remember calling anyone a divider, either. :)

    We're all part of the discussion here, aren't we? You don't think "I win" is just a little inappropriate?

    It's the least I can do. You're welcome. :)

    The problem is, denying Him usually does not happen overnight, and it's usually a result of being faithless one time too many. So making the distinction between being faithless and denying Him is not necessarily that helpful. The emphasis should be on "abiding" where the glass is half-full...

    I thought it was all excellent. Whether I like the "tangents" or not is of no consequence. I don't think it would serve any good purpose for me to point out what I believe are tangents. I think it would only cause you to get angry and defensive. If you want to try an exercise in constructive...

    How is this humorous or even relevant? Is this a quiz show?

    You know me fairly well by now. What do you think?

    I was simply commenting on a particular post. I don't have an ax to grind.

    Not one word about merit. We do not deserve salvation by doing our just duty. That's why grace is called "unmerited favor." All is of grace.
