Sounds like maybe you want to sting, feeling stung. Some kind of "tit for tat" thing. So how does that work? Because you didn't really say anything, just lashed out.
There is no good reason to continue that.
Much love!

Sure. But you do realize I teach the ways of God...plural. Basically, my critics only see in one dimension. So every time I speak of one...the other is forgotten. It's like a balance scale. Some will say I only preach on one side. And some will say I only preach on the other. Very few will see that I speak about both. It shows which side a person is stuck on when they can only see me drawing attention to the other. That's why I'm like a mirror to my fellow believers. I get them to see (if they are humble) where they have misunderstood the WAYS of God.
OK, I'll let it go with this. So be it. I don't want to be fishing around your old posts anyway. You do your usual ad hominem. I've said my peace. OK.
Much love!
Nope. I didn’t lash out. I pointed out folly. And now it gets even more silly. YOU are the one who said someone should be more honest. I just echoed the phrase back to you. So when you say, “you should be more honest,” you’re just giving your opinion of the man. But when I say the phrase, I’m stinging and lashing out?
Thats ridiculous. Why the double standard. Is it because I’m a woman?
You need to find another tactic because doing something and then accusing ANOTHER person of doing what you yourself did isn’t working for you.

Compare my post to yours and maybe you'll know what I'm talking about. Because your a woman?????
Much love!
I did compare them.
You said, “you need to be more honest.”
I said, “you need to be more honest.”
We both said the same exact thing. So why is it lashing out when I say it but not when you say it? Why the double standard? Is it because I’m elderly?

I was saying something in particular. A comparison should have revealed that. You plucked out the part that bothered you and just posted it back to me. Echoed was your word. Empty.
Sexist? Ageist? What's next? This is all the same thing.
Much love!
Yes. In particular, you said, “you should be more honest.” Then I said, “YOU should be more honest.”
Did you read the post? You are not fairly representing it. Is there a reason that you won't be honest too? Or are you so triggered that you can't?
This is really unhealthy, you'd be better off putting me on ignore. IMO. In my opinion.
Much love, and hope for something better!

Jesus is the Bread of Life and just as bread nourishes our physical bodies, Jesus gives and sustains eternal life to all believers.
John 6:35 - "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." Jesus used figurative language to emphasize these spiritual truths. Jesus explains the sense of the entire passage when He says, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." (John 6:63)
The literal interpretation of eating flesh and literally drinking blood is absurd and results in cannibalism. By faith we partake of Christ, and the benefits of His bodily sacrifice on the cross and shed blood, receiving eternal life. Eating and drinking here is not literally with the mouth and the digestive organs, but the reception of God’s grace by believing in Christ, as He makes it clear below:
John 6:40 - Everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:54 - Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:47 - Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.
John 6:58 - He who eats this bread will live forever.
"He who believes" in Christ is equivalent to "he who eats this bread and drinks My blood" as the result is the same, eternal life.
John 6 does not support to the Roman Catholic doctrine of 'transubstantiation.' On the contrary, it's on the primacy of faith as the means by which we receive the grace of God. Jesus is the Bread of Life; we eat and drink of Him when we believe in Him unto salvation.
Bread represents the "staff of life." Sustenance. That which essential to sustain life. Just as bread or sustenance is necessary to maintain physical life, Jesus is all the sustenance necessary for spiritual life.
The source of physical life is blood -- "life is in the blood." As with the bread, just as blood is the empowering or source of life physically, Jesus is all the source of spiritual life necessary.

Huh uh. Nope. I did read the post and I am very fairly representing it.
Im not putting you on ignore. And you are more than entitled to your opinion that I am triggered and not honest. But you don’t get to define what and who I am anywhere but in your own head and in the heads of anyone you can convince to believe your estimation of me.
Im not triggered. I’m calm and in peace and just determined to bring the truth about your silly tactics.
This is VERY healthy. It only seems unhealthy to you because your tactics are getting uncovered.
You aren't convincing me. I look at someone's behavior more then their words, when the two appear in conflict.
Much love!
Psalms 104:15 KJV
15) And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
Much love!
Well, there we are then. You aren’t convincing me either. What behavior you’re talking about I don’t know.

why do you twist things to support your view and not take God at his word.
Perfecting in the flesh is perfecting by works..
Progressive sanctification is God sanctifying us. Not us sanctifying ourselves. and it is not us saving ourselves.
Play Games with God? Your the one who is playing games my friend..

sadly she has fallen for his gospel of works.. Even after showing step by step how he is preaching works. they both deny it. and twist it to make it appear they are not teaching works..
It is attempting to make yourself more like Jesus in your own strength and trusting in your ability to do it.
Thats exactly what Epi preaches AGAINST by exhorting us to go to GOD and seeking HIS power (grace) and strength, rather than trusting in our own, to overcome.

I am saved my friend, I was saved over 40 years ago. I have been given the rest and the hope that God promised..l
see here how once again you are trying to twist?
The righteousness that can make us wise for salvation is the righteousness of Christ and the cross.
Your righteousness is as bloody rags. Is that what you are going to hand Jesus on judgement day when he asks why he should let you in? Your good works and deeds?
good luck with that
lol. see how you totally ignore the word of God and twist it?
John 17:3
And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
1 John 5:11
And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
1 John 5:13
These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
Again, totally ignoring the word of God. Mocking.. how you get as following is beyond me
I am lacking in everything, apart from Christ and the cross. I am hopeless. bankrupt, destitute, DEAD.
But in Christ I have been given all things.. I pray one of these days you understand what that means
I am the same
saved
child of God
Adopted
Redeemed by his blood
Justified
Sanctified
given an inheritance that will not fade away
Made joint heirs with Christ
sealed by the Holy Spirit
Have the promise I will never die, never hunger, never thirst, live forever. and be raised on the lkast day.
Not because I am worthy. I am unworthy.. But because God is a God of love.. he loved so much he sent his son, to die for me.
I pray you look to the cross more. the cross is your only hope. The penalty of sin is death.. The only way to spend eternity in heave is to have that penalty removed..

blame shift. they always want to point the finger at everyone else. but refuse to own up to their own mistakes.
