... I spent the better part of two weeks trying to reason with... explain myself.... clarify my thoughts... and everything I said was taken out of context and twisted...
I'm sorry I did not see that in the conversations between you and him that I have witnessed.
From what I could see he hasn't ever called you a proponent of this new denomination that he speaks of; while he has defined the perimeters of what that denomination is all about.
They say that the dog that barks the loudest is the one that got hit if you throw a rock into a pack of dogs.
I don't recall him ever singling you out, sister.
But I could be wrong.
Because I tend to primarily frequent the Theology Forums here at these boards.
@Grailhunter .... You have NO NEED to be QUOTING me any longer.... as I have made it clear to you that I do not desire to engage in conversation with you.
He has every right to quote you...
And you have every right to not respond to anything that he posts.
That is the nature of these forums.
... People seem to enjoy arguing and tearing each other down... for the sake of being "right".
With me, it is not for the sake of being right that I correct others...but because I am right...and because in some cases, if they continue to be wrong it will be to their everlasting condemnation.
I don't want that for anyone....so I will continue to be a "correcter" even if it means that I am not well-received by some. That person's soul is worth the correcting....and if others are turned off by the fact that that person has been rebuked and never enter the kingdom because of it, that is on them...because the person who has been corrected, if they heed the correction, will be delivered from certain death.
When I decide I will no longer engage someone in conversation... It is because I have concluded that they are not worth the time it takes to explain myself.
Everyone is worth that time if you are seeking to win them to the Lord so that they will not perish for ever in everlasting torments.
For, I don't wish that fate on my worst enemy.
Therefore, taking the time to talk to someone is expedient...their eternal soul is definitely worth the time that it will take for you to explain yourself.
I will NOT correct someone I do NOT know....who is living in sin... because it is not my place... It is not my right...
That may be true generally; however, when it comes to being in a church setting, pastors are called to even rebuke sin...even in someone that they do not know (1 Timothy 5:20)
I will not judge someone as saved or unsaved... because it is not my place... It is not my right.
Personally, I have the gift of discernment...which means that the Holy Spirit has given me the ability to know after a period of time whether someone I am speaking to is saved or unsaved.
He has instructed me to never point the finger at anyone whom I know is unsaved...but simply to pray for their souls and to say things to them that might help them to see the light, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Correction is highly abused in my opinion... and it is a dangerous weapon that so many Christians seem to use against each other with false permission.
I do believe that those who minister are called to correct other people (2 Timothy 4:2). It is basically a given that it will not always be well-received by the person who is corrected. We are actually exhorted not to correct a wicked person unless we want to receive a blot to our name (Proverbs 9:7-9).
Any denomination that promotes ANYTHING that goes against the bible is simply another FALSE RELIGION and NOT Christianity.
There is NO new denomination of Christianity forming...
I'm afraid that there is...it will be a subsection of the Antichrist's one world religion...and it will be identified as "Christian" by the world.
You are right that it will not be true Christianity.
But you are wrong to say that it will not be called "Christianity".
What an ignorant post.
I would call it stupid, but, its just so far beyond stupid.
You are absolutely a curse to this forum.
You are one of the most twisted carnal fakirs ive ever met on a forum.
You dont know this, but since the Cross was raised, there have been over 600 religious leader who have proclaimed themselves to be "the CHRIST">
So, that is the context of "another Jesus".
Its not his name, its his Position as Messiah, that will be FAKED.
Are you a mormon?
Of course the mormon jesus is a different jesus than the Jesus of the Bible; and he is also called by the name "Jesus Christ".
You teach works in place of the Atonement.
Your twisted way to do it, is to trust in faith to keep you saved,
Works and faith are mutually exclusive when it comes to salvation in the Bible (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Thats exactly the point.
God has promised.
Final answer.
Philippians 1:6
Of course, the entire book of Philippians is written to "all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons" (Philippians 1:1) and so Philippians 1:6 may not apply to you.
Of course, it is possible for you to obtain it as a promise, by faith (2 Peter 1:3-4, 2 Corinthians 1:20, Hebrews 11:33, Romans 4:20-22).
However, you cannot take it as written specifically to you but as a promise given to those who will obtain it through faith (prayer).
Some seems to be against that, because they are afraid that saying that might lead others to misunderstand that we can do anything, even sin all we want and still be saved. Perhaps. But why would I not say that if that is the truth?
1) It is not the truth.
2) It is not the doctrine which is according to godliness (1 Timothy 6:3, Titus 1:1)
