Sis, not nice, is it under control or does it continue to deteriorate?xx. Have Cataracts and Glaucoma!
What you are doing here, is reading scripture and imo putting your own spin on it.Exactly . and not one word of GOD is condemnation .
not the warnings and not the promises . ALL of it is for our good .
I want to remind us of what paul once wrote .
He once wrote if after the first or second admonition one keeps rejecting , wont hear
Reject . a heretick . notice did paul say that waring or reminding them was condemning them
OR did he say they are condemned OF THEIR OWN selves . aka They REJEJCTED .
SO we see it was not the words nor the person saying the words that were the ones condemining .
IT was the person who refused who was doing the condemining , OF HIM OWN SELF .
Sometimes people might get it into their head
that if warn , if we are grave and sincere and use the severity side of GOD
that somehow that is preaching condemnation , being judgy or etc .
BUT its not . the condemner is the one who rejects the TRUTH . For they
refuse to repent , they condmen themselves . I just wanted to give us all
this reminder again . Time is running out rita . One day it will have ran its course .
WHEN it has , ITS TOO LATE . Right now its not too late . But on that day it will be .....
EITHER ONE KNEW AND LOVED CHRIST JESUS
and forever with HIM they are
OR ..............................or a fate i wish upon none awaits .
I also want to encourage us with a wonderful reminder .
TO any and all who now sleep in CHRIST they are forever in a far greater place .
And soon even some who are still alive will be caught up in an instant
to the LORD , to a HOME we never earned , BUT JESUS had prepared . Ponder on the beauty of that .
And we want lots of souls with us . SO Let all point to the ONLY NAME that can save . JESUS the CHRIST .
I don’t understand why he keeps telling us to read our bibles every minute of every day.
When the Spirit is with us all day every day...God’s Spirit lives in my spirit...he is the one who leads me through his word as and when, he’s the one who chose me for his purpose and plan....
Not all of scripture is relevant to a Born Again.....I need the Spirit to open up Gods word to me....also this Harlot business, what’s that all about that he keeps preaching,xx
I am seeing the opthalmologist in early May. I see him every six months. The last visit my eye pressure was down to about 15.Sis, not nice, is it under control or does it continue to deteriorate?xx
Yes, of course , God speaks to me via His Spirit, he opens up his written word for my spirit to understand....after all we are his spiritual children, we communicate with God in Spirit, there is no other way.I sometimes think upon some verses to help me. In my younger years I used to recall verses to help me alot. Then it just kind of becomes a part of you.
Oh so sorry to read that you are dealing with these two things along with everything with your mum.I don't like to read long posts either! Usually I just skim them. If they are really long, I don't read them. Have Cataracts and Glaucoma!
Because as peter and paul once wrote , its a good way to stay stirred up in remembrance .I don’t understand why he keeps telling us to read our bibles every minute of every day.

Sorry, I should be asking Amigo that question xx
I have attended Bible Study....I couldn’t stay because someone always imo wants to control...I can’t stand control...I can’t be forced to believe what they are saying is God’s truth...when I know darn well it’s not....imo...Because as peter and paul once wrote , its a good way to stay stirred up in remembrance .
In these days there are so many different opinions floating around and so many different teachings .
And believe me they are often contrary to the original pattern the apostels did things and how they
instructed the church to do things . It wont kill anyone to read the bible an hour or so everyday .
Stay stirred up . Too many voices say a lot of things and those things are often contrary to the rightly divided
word of truth . This actually works good rita .
I have been doing daily reads with people . And not a one of us argue or strive . We learn and we stay refreshed .
You know as well i do know that a lot of people can say they are heeding the Spirit of GOD
only they are contradicting truth . Reading the bible daily helps big time . ITs just one of the things we should
be doing daily . And we all NEED the SPIRIT of GOD to open up our understanding of scripture .
Watch what occurs if you start doing this again . If we added into our day a good hour of reading the scripture
and also let us read them with others . You watch what would happen .
many are following another jesus rita .@amigo de christo ...I also think I read that you believe that you can lose your salvation on a thread.
If you believe that...then we are most definitely on different levels of spiritual understanding.
In fact I know you and I are at different levels of understanding God’s word....
I wonder why that is, not just you , many of us are at different levels of understanding....I guess God communicates to us the way he knows we will understand imo.
Which does make sense to some, yet makes no sense to others...xx
Freewillers...then there are the chosen and predestined....I fall into the chosen and predestined category...because I’d never read a Bible ..not until I became Born Again...therefore I know in my heart i was chosen by him for “HIS” purpose and plan.....of course I never knew that straight away, his Spirit has revealed that to my heart, by leading me through “ HIS” written word.....which we can only understand in the Spirit timing..imo/ belief.....Praise God,xx
By grace , take note i said grace , i have read the scriptures daily for almost eighteen years .I have attended Bible Study....I couldn’t stay because someone always imo wants to control...I can’t stand control...I can’t be forced to believe what they are saying is God’s truth...when I know darn well it’s not....imo...
What do you need to understand in God’s word?
What are you searching for?xx
What do you consider to be control . OH I KNOW the wrong kind of control exists .I have attended Bible Study....I couldn’t stay because someone always imo wants to control...I can’t stand control...I can’t be forced to believe what they are saying is God’s truth...when I know darn well it’s not....imo...

I don’t believe that a Born Again who has been Born Of God’s seed can believe another gospel.many are following another jesus rita .
That is the problem . But if we would read again and stay stirred up daily in those letters , gospels and etc
I am telling us this would clear up
Controlling what God’s word was saying...same as some of us do on here....all different understanding/ interpretations of what God is saying in his word.What do you consider to be control . OH I KNOW the wrong kind of control exists .
But if one is simply instructing , giving order unto the church . that aint the wrong kind of control .
THEY would also have been ENSAMPLES to the flock .
How did this person CONTROL . what did they try to do . IT would help if you explained
what you meant by they were wanting control .
a born again WONT . THAT SHOULD SCARE THE HECK out of a lot of folks .I don’t believe that a Born Again who has been Born Of God’s seed can believe another gospel.
I don’t need to keep reading God’s word to know in my spirit, that I’ve been Born Of His Seed, that liveth and abideth forever “ in my heart”....God’s Spirit is in my heart never ever to leave, just as His word says to a “ Born Again “ imo/ belief.xx
Exactly..so I stopped going...I’ve had to stop going to that other church, they seem to be obsessed with us giving money...they put pressure on me to even go online and give...I have just about enough to live on myself..If what they are saying CONTRADICTS THE TRUTH , then someone needs to kindly remind them
and even show them by scripture their error . OH i know rita a lot of folks
get up and just teach away and yet some of that which they teach is bad news .
Ok, I think I now see where you are coming from, thank you, I will say no more..xxa born again WONT . THAT SHOULD SCARE THE HECK out of a lot of folks .
Yet people gripe and get mad at me for reminding us
about and against the false all inclusive lie . THEY get upset when i remind
folks that if one Denies JESUS is the CHRIST then they are anti christ .
THEY DO NOT LIKE it when i remind that the social all inclusive gospel IS A LIE
and that ALL other religoins do not and are not serving GOD .
NOW why is that . WHAT DID JOHN say to do if one brings NOT that doctrine .
HE SURE DIDNT SAY oh try and get along and have unity.
WHAT did paul say when warning the galations about if one brings another gospel
HE sure didnt say , HEY SHUT UP , we are here to overlook doctrine and just hug and get along .
THEY WARNED HUGE to not keep any kind of fellowship with such .
SO WHY would anyone desire to sit under these ill witted men who try and
implant this unity , co exist , bridge builders , false love junk . THINK about THAT RITA .
CAUSE THIS LAMB HAS zero DESIRE FOR ANY LOVE , ANY UNITY AND ANY FELLOWSHIP
WITH THOSE WHO TROD JESUS RIGHT UNDER FOOT AND SAY OH LETS JUST FIND COMMON GROUND
AND HAVE UNITY .
WHY would a lamb want to believe a lie that TRODS the dire need to BELIEVE ON JESUS THE CHRIST under foot .
cause THAT AINT THE GOSPEL at all .
yet many just love this idea that somehow GOD is fine with all religoins so long as they lovey they neighbor .
WHEN IN TRUTH that is a LIE . WHY would we embrace such a gospel . THINK about that .
It aint forcing if one is simply trying to get the believers TO BE LIKEMINDED on the things of CHRIST .Controlling what God’s word was saying...same as some of us do on here....all different understanding/ interpretations of what God is saying in his word.
Forcing us to believe that how they interpret scripture, is the true way...like many of us do on here.
Freewill verses chosen/ predestined.
