LOL.... this has been my week of collecting the Catholics.... and placing them in forum purgatory.... Some people are just too difficult to follow... and I don't have much patience anymore.I thought to unignore you for a chance to see if you had changed your style, sadly, no.
How do you know?not that you are blatantly committing aggregious sins like adultery and murder,
You truly have no idea, and as long as you persist in this you will be on ignore.But that You are failing to grow in Holiness and godliness, and using doctrine as an excuse why you need not repent.
I really do what to help others! And God has given me a lot of patience, only, sometimes there just IS no fruit!LOL.... this has been my week of collecting the Catholics.... and placing them in forum purgatory.... Some people are just too difficult to follow... and I don't have much patience anymore.
With this I can wholeheartedly agree.Submitting to God is the most liberating thing a man can do.
@Addy@marks.... I have spent a lot of time in quite prayer and worship these last few weeks... LOTS of beach with my beautiful red beach chair.
My heart seems to be telling me that the legalists do not want help... they like their rules and lists... and they refuse to BELIEVE that Salvation is a free gift.... Nothing can be done about that... they think we just want freedom to SIN... and no matter how many times we try and tell them... it just isn't that way... they come back with more accusations.
Some Christians do not believe that SALVATION is a one time thing.... a supernatural event... They do not believe we were actually PURCHASED... at GREAT COST by the BLOOD of CHRIST..... and that is the issue... the belief that salvation is an EVENT... that really occurs at the time of our conversion... They can say it... but they do not actually believe it is that simple.
This is not something that can be DEBATED with success.... in my opinion... and this is an opinion that I have just recently come to... because of my involvement in the OSAS threads.
I will ALWAYS DEFEND GRACE.... but I'm tired of fighting with the kill-joys... and harsh accusers. All I can seem to think with regards to legalists is that they are a NASTY BROOD of VIPERS... and they come in many different forms.
It's impossible to meditate on this and WANT to sin.... and that is where my heart lives... in the SHELTER of the ALMIGHTY... the ONE that promises to finish within me what HE has begun... which is a GOOD WORK.... NOT what I need to ADD."All of grace, yes, grace surpassing,
Such a portion to bestow,
But the love, all knowledge passing,
Grace has taught us now to know.
Love that bore the stripes and sorrow,
Love that suffered on the Tree,
Love that shares the bright tomorrow,
With the loved ones, you and me."
@Addy What you say reminds me of Psalm 110.3: "Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth."It's impossible to meditate on this and WANT to sin.... and that is where my heart lives... in the SHELTER of the ALMIGHTY... the ONE that promises to finish within me what HE has begun... which is a GOOD WORK.... NOT what I need to ADD.
I think we have all sorts here from the sincerely misguided to "spiritual narcissists", those who have such a distorted view of themselves the only way they can feel relevant or powerful is to climb up on the backs of others.My heart seems to be telling me that the legalists do not want help... they like their rules and lists... and they refuse to BELIEVE that Salvation is a free gift.... Nothing can be done about that... they think we just want freedom to SIN... and no matter how many times we try and tell them... it just isn't that way... they come back with more accusations.

Once you know His love, it will carry you through every affliction!from a very long coma... after decades of suffering with severe depression.... and HE has turned my mourning into JOY.... It is overflowing to the point where I simply cannot UNDERSTAND.... NONE of it is me... because of me... or because of anything I have done... HE has chosen to LAVISH me with HIS LOVE... I am that bruised reed that HE would not break... and OH the JOY that floods my soul.... I was blind.. but now I see... I was lost... and drowning in despair... and HE RESCUED me....
These are also a lot of hurting people.I will ALWAYS DEFEND GRACE.... but I'm tired of fighting with the kill-joys... and harsh accusers.
I agree... with everything you have said.These are also a lot of hurting people.
How do you know?
See, David, the thing of it is. I've continued to discuss doctrine and not persons with you, but as my doctrine refutes yours, you have embarked on an unending quest of assumption and accusation.
Until you get this sorted out, we can't really begin to have any sort of real discussion. You have this mental construct of me that has no basis in reality. You simply have no idea about me. You don't know whether I'm committing adultery, or shooting heroin, or whatever.
Is this supposed to impress me??? So... you know me from Worthy Forums... LOL.... Whoever you are... your words run cold on me.r @Addy who I know more about than she thinks I do from a previous forum.
Don't let him get to you.and just to clarify... I have never... NOT once stated that HOLINESS is legalism.... this is something that gets thrown at me in these forums.... I live my life with REVERENCE to Almighty God.... but I understand who I am in CHRIST... FINALLY I understand.
See . . . it's not just me you tell lies about.Holiness is not legalism as @Addy claims here,
