Thank you for once again proving my point.
You can have the last word . . .
You have proven my point.

If it is an issue of who has pride...

Being unyielding to what the Spirit is saying is a sure sign of it.

I find that you put on a front of always being right, when in fact you know that you are wrong.

For you, it is a matter of 'saving face" rather than admitting that you were wrong in a situation.

I have admitted to being wrong concerning a previous discussion that we have had. And that is the opposite of pride.

But, you know, you are wrong in this; and yet you will not face up to it.

I hope for your sake that you will face up to it on your day of judgment. Because the Bible says to agree with your adversary quickly.

Is that, no, it's not lashing out, or no, you don't need to understand to criticize?

I wish you were to understand . . .
So do I but if I can't I can't. Simple as that and I don't get all upset if I don't as there are plenty more fish in the sea.

Then again, I'd suggest that you hold the criticizisms if you don't understand what's being said.

Are these phrases indicative of loss of salvation in your opinion?

. However, can it be said that the blood that justifies does not also sanctify .

The devil's theology,= which is to deny that Jesus is our sanctification, as well as our Justification.

1 Corinthians 6

"""" But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.""

What I said.

It is also the devil's theology to deny that sanctification is practical in the life of the believer.

You are confusing sanctification with Discipleship.
Its the same confusion you have regarding believing that salvation and discipleship are the same.
You are a person who trusts in Faith, so, this explains why you are a legalist.

Explain to us, Obi-wan, how discipleship differs from the sanctifying work in a believer's life.

I believe that sanctification is God's part, and discipleship our part, in the very same thing.

There is no such thing as a "sanctifying work".
If there was, then there would be no need for Jesus's blood.
See, if you could sanctify yourself...then God didn't need to die on the cross.
Your issue, among 20 others, theologically, is that you have not understood that if you can't redeem yourself by your works, before God saved you by His blood, then your stupid self effort works, are just as useless to sanctify you after you are SAVED by God's blood.

Can't understand what i just said?

Try it like this.
What can't save you, before God saved you, can't sanctify you after God has already Sanctified you, with Christ's blood.

Discipleship is not the process of self sanctification, as you are already eternally sanctified by God's blood.
You think you can improve it?
So, discipleship, is to come into the full mental understanding of HOW to walk in the Light of the Revelation of God's Grace, and do it all your life.

@Behold, I have never said that we sanctify ourselves.

I hold to the teaching found here:

2Th 2:13, But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

And here:

Heb 13:12, Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

Heb 10:29, Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

1Jo 1:7, But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

These realities do not contradict the concept that sanctification is a practical thing in nature (see 1 John 3:7, 1 John 3:17-18).

1Jo 3:7, Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

1Jo 3:17, But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

1Jo 3:18, My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

You are most welcome to make suggestions. Not like some people who give orders, and I am most welcome to accept or reject them. That is what I like about this place. No pharisaical thou shalt not...

Most of you are on this Thread and the 1st one..., and on this forum, and have no clue as to who is on this forum lying to you, misleading you, and will continue to do it. Mod or Member.
You have not even realized that "Mod" does not mean they are not deceived. IT just means they have the position.
Didn't you know? Do you not realize that the Devil will do his best to bring deceived people into the leadership position, regarding all "christian" situations?
If you have not realized this, then you are not very familiar with the Devil, are you...
You have not considered long ago.... that just because someone is a Pastor, does not mean they are not devil owned and operated.
You use words like "fruit" and "discernment" and "Love" and you ho idea what you are talking about.
You speak "christianese", and yet you have not memorized 15 New Testament verses since you've been saved.
"JUDE".... is that in the Old Testament or the NEW?
Where is it?
Is Galatians before or after Philippians, in the NT?
Its is "ACTS" or "The Acts of the Apostles"?
Some of you are saved 20 yrs + and have never read "Jude".

Have you ever lead anyone to Jesus, and spent months after this training them in Paul's doctrine so that they dont end up on a forum like this one unprepared and get faith ruined in about 2 days by some of the heretics here?
Do you know what "Pauline Theology" is?
Do you know why Paul said that the Gospel of the Grace of God is : "HIS Gospel"?
Do you know why he said that?
Do you know why Paul said....."be a follower of ME, as i follow Christ"?
Do you know that Paul was murdered, went to Heaven, and came back and continued to teach for many more years, even tho he wanted to not come back here?
Do you know that a real teacher will know these things and will teach them to you, instead of talking to you about speaking in tongues or if its ok for you to get a Tattoo ?

Im not being hard on you Saint, im trying to make you understand that you are in a WAR and you can't SEE IT, yet it is all around you, and you are IN IT and you don't know how to FIGHT in this Kingdom, and you are going to end up spending the rest of your life doing nothing for Christ and then you will die and meet Him ASHAMED.
Understand?
A real teacher will tell you that, and not just once.

Listen, ive posted to you about 2 books worth of Threads to get you out of your "asleep in the Light" carnal christianity and into RIGHT BELIEVING so that you can MATTER regarding God's eternal work.
Im trying to make you understand that you are going to MEET JESUS.... and so you have to live your life down heree every single DAY knowing that is coming and you need to have done something for Him that matters, before you meet Him.
He is going to ask you..."what you done in MY BODY".......
Be prepared to give Him an answer. And remember that its THIS TEACHER who told you to think about it today, tomorrow, and until you meet Him.
If you do, your life will change, and your Christianity will deepen.
I told you that...THIS Teacher......Not anyone else here.
See me?
LOOK CLOSELY.
So, all that, is what a real teacher will tell you, the first hour you are in my very first Class your very first day.
And if you think all that is "Too hard" and "too harsh", and "not sweet" and "isnt showing love" then go to the door on your way out, and go back to your play pen that you play in called a "forum" or a "Sunday service", and continue to exist as useless.., but if you stay in my class, if you study MY Threads, you will leave when its over and no one will be able to ruin your faith or deceive you ever again.
There is a reason that people all over this world, print my Threads, they print them out, and study them.. with a BIBLE OPEN.
Really.

So, as i was saying.... God answered me in 1991, the same way He has devised His word to instruct you in revelation, regarding His Holy Word.
You get more Light from God, the same way you grow up as a human. You start by crawling, you stand, you learn to walk, you learn to run.
Well, God's Light of Revelation, is given as deeper spiritual understanding... Its ALL built on a specific foundation of the understanding of GRACE, and you progress only based on being in the right understanding from the very beginning, of this verse. Hebrews 13:9.
Go there, stay there for LIFE, as if you do not get your heart established as that verse says, on GRACE, the devil will own you, theologically. He will be the master of your Faith, because your faith will be DECEIVED, and you WILL become a Legalist and a Heretic.
Fact.

Listen, did God tell you to just trust your pope, pastor, minister, bishop, with NO QUESTIONED ASKED..?
??
??
NO< He did not tell you to do that, He told you to STUDY TO SHOW YOURSELF...."YOURSELF", approved../.unto God.
What does that mean?
Why don't you know?
It means you are to study so that YOU BECOME an authority, as that is the only way you can be "approved."

You trust your surgeon to cut out that tumor because he is "approved" by years of Study and Practice.
I come here and teach you, because i am approved, i have put in the years... This is why you've never read anyone who sounds like me and can cause you to take a step back and THINK.
How do you become like that? You STUDY and God uses you.
You stop playing at Christianity and you give God your LIFE.
Have you given God your life? No you have not. You have never kneeled before the Almighty, the majority of you, and with tears streaming and heart sincere, completely surrendered and said...."GOD I AM ALL YOURS< HERE IS MY LIFE..... USE ME AS YOU WILL HAVE ME TO BE">
So what are you waiting for?
????
Are you waiting for a real TEACHER to give you an INVITATION TO GIVE GOD ALL OF YOU FOR LIFE?
Ok, i just did.

And about that New Testament?
That is God's blood shed...... so that you could have to STUDY.
REVERENCE IT. RESPECT IT. HONOR IT.. TRUST IT. DEFEND IT.. IT IS THE AUTHORITY. IT IS a LIVING LIFE GIVING SPIRITUAL ETERNAL LIGHT.
When you are dead, that Holy Bible will still be the LIVING REVELATION OF GOD.

You are to spend years STUDYING all the parts of how to KNOW what you are talking about, and all the parts to know are found in Paul's epistles, first and foremost.
"well behold, i read the bible".
No.
God didn't tell you to read it. He told you to STUDY the word, and this is not "reading".
You read to be entertained, you STUDY to be approved, to become the MASTER of the SUBJECT.

Any real teacher will tell you that...
There are those who know and there are those who think they know. Those that teach, teach not lambast. No names and no pack drill.

I understand your comment, thank you, and I was just trying 2 work with this particular C-Board interface's confines.
The 2nd part is more an exhortation as well as a "How to".
It would be nice if they had a "Blog" section you could use, individually, as well as the "Thread" Forum.

They should have a BEHOLD forum than we can ignore it.

You can't trust in faith and be a legalist. That is an oxymoron.

How do you know a real teacher.
1. They wont boast about it.
2. They will be known by there wisdom.
3. They will listen to others.
4. Their only interest will be leading people to Christ, so people can find Him for themselves.
5. They will not demand anyone listen to them because they dont desire people to follow after them but Christ.
6. They dont care whether men hear them or not, because it is up to the reader to determine what is truth by them selves. It is between the reader and Jesus.

And that is why we have no teachers on this forum,

Having picked out all the encouraging parts of this post, I hate to think what it would be like if he focused only on the negative. Now that we all know we are a load of dipsticks who are not worth the time of day, we can go take a long run of a short pier to put us out of our misery.

I would be interested to know how many people have been inspired to greater things by this post.

You can't trust in faith and be a legalist. That is an oxymoron.

I dont mind trying to help you.
Listen..
There is faith in faith, and there is faith in Christ.
These are not the same.
Someone like justbyfaith, has faith in FAITH... In other words..........he thinks..>"if i hold unto my FAITH, then God will keep me saved".
So, do you see how he has left faith in CHRIST to keep Him saved, and now he is trying to abide by self effort in God's Grace by trusting in his faith.

What does this means? It means that people like this, religious people, have as their savior their FAITH.
Faith has become what they are holding unto, to try to stay saved.
This is not faith in Christ...this is faith in FAITH.
This is why deceived people like this will talk about JAMES, and talk about "dead faith".
And that is because to these religious people, FAITH is the savior, so, if their faith is dead, then in their mind, they are LOST.
This is Wrong Believing and it is self deception.
