I know that can be annoying, but the participation factor is what makes Bible Studies so edifying.Someone would argue what you were saying

Yep, lol. (Except it's not that funny. It has ruined the church.)Does hyper-grace mean, "Jesus died for my sins, so I can behave however I want?"
Yeah, but it keeps the money coming in.Yep, lol. (Except it's not that funny. It has ruined the church.)
I haven't been following closely. Is that what's been happening in this thread?and questioning Pearl's rebirth in Christ.
Yep. That's what it's all about. Fame and fortune.Yeah, but it keeps the money coming in.
SMH!Yep. That's what it's all about. Fame and fortune.
Yes indeed my friend . Rick warren , seeker friendly hyper grace destroyed what was left of many a church . Many a church .It is startling.
IMO, it shows how deeply rooted the Hyper Grace movement has become in the church.
I say that because it is responsible for bringing in so many unconverted people into the church who think they are saved but really aren't. And so they don't know have a relationship with the Lord and the spiritual insight to know there is only one High Priest through which a person is reconciled to God.
yes indeed , pearl has brought a dire good warning and reminder .As far as I'm concerned, Pearl is my sister in the Lord.
Amen! In spite of other problems one reason I stayed where I was for several years was the openness which had allowed anyone to ask question or to present a Bible study of their own. That was how it had been, but under pressure it was slipping downward. There were some who wanted to rule and set up the rules while paying only lip service to God. When they used excuses to put out my pastor, a good man who was tired, frail and already in his 90's, I alone stood to tell what I saw as truth of the situation. The chief instigator of the trouble was sitting a few rows behind me. In the middle of my words I heard her speak out my name loudly, so all could hear, telling me I was also wrong [like my pastor] and for me to sit down and to shut up. That was the end for me as I followed my pastor out the door. That really had been the best place. But... they left no doubt that it was over...I know that can be annoying, but the participation factor is what makes Bible Studies so edifying.
I don't know that much about Rick Warren. I think I have his book laying around somewhere that someone gave me.Yes indeed my friend . Rick warren , seeker friendly hyper grace destroyed what was left of many a church . Many a church .
If anyone enters a church and their pastor or etc is bringing in rick warren , purpose driven life
RUN . Take as many as you can with you . That church wont make it .
It would appear so, yes.I haven't been following closely. Is that what's been happening in this thread?
That too.I figured she posted it because it is a startling statistic.
I believe God is the only way. I believe that Jesus is God in flesh.
I believe God is the only way. I believe that Jesus is God in flesh.
Yes!In the letters of Paul, he says you have to have the old man/woman which is your flesh, and the new man/woman which is your spirit. In Galatians chapter five it says they war against each other. Then there's other stuff the bible instructs you about.
To be truly born again, you must have the Holy Spirit. Those who do have the Holy Spirit would be convicted of their sins or their wrongs, and understand to not live or be like the world.
Given the 70# number I would wonder how many Christians were polled.Amen. Jesus himself said;
John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
So I can't understand why '70% of Christians' should even consider that there may be other ways.
It was something I read. And don't forget everyone who calls themselves Christian may not be.Given the 70# number I would wonder how many Christians were polled.
It's misleading to claim 70# of Christians believe anything, without knowing the actual number of Christians polled.
While without that information it allows for the inference. That 70# of all Christians believe.
I always like to remember people pay for polling data to be performed.
I would argue those people are not Christians.
