Like I said, this re-envisioning of yourself thing you have going on ain't gonna cut it.
FreeNChrist - I am not sure what you are talking about. As you get to know people your view changes.
It sounds like you think people are your first impression. This is a forum with words. Only at the end if it has been long enough will you say you know someone.

God bless you. I am changing how you think about me, so that is not a bad thing, Praise the Lord.

Repentance

I repent of sin, whenever I am convicted of it, and ask for forgiveness.
I am sorry if I have hurt people, please forgive me. I will try not to do this in future, but unfortunately some get sensitive about certain issues which are just biblical belief and not personal at all.

Interestingly for some they do not have to repent, just change their minds. Not sure what this idea means.
Change their minds that they were not brutal enough, or they should have commanded silence.

I get the distinct impression someone is trying to provoke a response. I wonder why?

For there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.
1 John 5:7-8

Dear reader - When someone comes on like a train, over nothing, I wonder what is driving them.

Why oh why so many posts with nothing in them? It is like holding a ball up to a dog determined to jump for it no matter what.

Repentance

I repent of sin, whenever I am convicted of it, and ask for forgiveness.
So when are you going to repent for bearing false witness against me?

I am sorry if I have hurt people, please forgive me. I will try not to do this in future, but unfortunately some get sensitive about certain issues which are just biblical belief and not personal at all.
This does not constitute repentance or confession. You lied about what I have been trying to teach you.. This is not how yuo go away asking forgiveness.

Interestingly for some they do not have to repent, just change their minds. Not sure what this idea means.
Change their minds that they were not brutal enough, or they should have commanded silence.

Not sure what you mean here, Maybe you do not understand because no one believes this.


I get the distinct impression someone is trying to provoke a response. I wonder why?
Because I am holding you accountable for what you did.. Trying to break your pride..

This is interesting advice. I am meant to listen to EG about what?
That I am trying to earn my way to heaven? I am not.
That I should be a calvanist? I am not.
That I should condemn myself about sins I have not commited? I do not need to do this.
That I should be a dispensationalist with a distorted view of salvation? I call this heresy.
Are you going to confess. or continue to make excuses. and water down the sin you have commited? (proving my point you water down the law, or deny they are sins at all)

For there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.
1 John 5:7-8

I have your quoted words. I do not need three witnesses, We have your post, it is there for all to see.

So are you going to repent? And say you were wrong, and tell people what I really believe?

Or continue to be in sin, and unrepentant

The subject here was Faith is our righteousness, and it appears to be so. So Amen to that.

No one has said it is not, so I have a changed perspective.
Faith is not our righteousness. It is 'counted as righteousness'. There is a difference. It does not mean God looks at our faith and counts it as righteousness, full stop. What it means is that what we believe in is counted as righteousness. We are justified by His grace THROUGH FAITH

so saying things which are not true is ok?? But the person you lied about has no right to confront you??

Exodus 20:16 [Full Chapter]
“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. (remember who jesus said your neighbor is)

last I read, this is still a sin.

EG you are right, I am sorry, please forgive me, I have no clue about what you believe, who you follow or why.

I misstook you for someone who knew what and why they were saying what they were saying.
I have no idea what theology you hold to, and I clearly never will.

You are not lots of things yet you want me to forcebly believe something and repent of something else, but you cannot articulate it. You are not a dispensationalist, yet talk like one.

If you want to kick me, and beat me, and say anything you like to me, please do. I have no idea what or who you are or even where you come from. Through my blood soaked face am I meant to think you represent Jesus? Maybe to you.

God bless you and may God have mercy on your soul.

"Because I am holding you accountable for what you did.. Trying to break your pride.. "

I wonder where in the bible this phrase comes from. You will pulp them until they repent.
And the great crime. To be linked to theological groups it appears they hate, though they hold some similar beliefs.

I suppose with so many wounds and things in the christian world you need to put right, it is hard to be told the very words you are saying comes from another group of people you hate. Maybe the problem is hate and the desire to do Gods work for him. I am just glad I have a humble spirit and contrite heart.

Lord please help this brother with a mission to put the church right, and bring him a peace and assurance it is your Kingdom, your church and your people who you will support and bring through. May you Lord stop the enemy using hate and anger to provoke sinful behaviour and dishonouring ideas, in the Name of Jesus Christ Amen

ok thanks, you made up y mind for me,

I have showed you how many times your sin and you refuse to repent.. Now consider yourself reported..

I am sick of the games, You go around bashing everyone as sinners, and showing them all their mistakes and demand they repent.

I cought you red handed and have proof of your sin, And you refuse to repent..

I will continue to confront you, At least until I am told to stop. Your arrogance has went to far!

EG you are right, I am sorry, please forgive me, I have no clue about what you believe, who you follow or why.

So your repentence is nothing but more attack, more excuses, and more shifting blame?

That is not repentance that is arrogance!

I have no idea what theology you hold to, and I clearly never will.
No you will not, unless you get rid of your preconceived ideas, and actually open your heart and listen to what I and others are saying..

You are not lots of things yet you want me to forcebly believe something and repent of something else,
and here you lie again

I can not nor will I FORCE YOU TO DO SOMETHING.. And to even say so proved yet again you NEVER LISTEN TO ME OR ANYONE ELSE

and 2. I want you to repent of bearing false witness against me.. I already posted your lies..


but you cannot articulate it. You are not a dispensationalist, yet talk like one.
I did not say I was not one, I just said I never demanded you be one or you would not be saved..

Your stuck on church, You believe all dispensationalists believe in multiple gospels for different people. YOUR WRONG. YOU WERE TAUGHT WRONG and YOU REFUSE TO ADMIT IT.

Just like your stuck on me being a Calvinist because I hold to eternal security (YOUR WRONG) did you not see the Calvinist earlier today call be an Armenian? Are do you never pay attention?

If you want to kick me, and beat me, and say anything you like to me, please do. I have no idea what or who you are or even where you come from. Through my blood soaked face am I meant to think you represent Jesus? Maybe to you.

Nonsense.. And nothing but pride..


God bless you and may God have mercy on your soul.
Thank you, But God has blessed me, and he had mercy on my sou, It is why he came to die for me..

But you want to mock him,, thats on you my friend..

I have never met anyone so proud that he continues to make comments which proves he does not listen to anyone. (well maybe i have there have been a few of them here on CC)

I am secure, I have peace that surpasses all understanding, And I know God is with me, and the gates of hell will not keep me or his church back,

As I have told you before. You need to stop. You keep saying things that most people here KNOW IS NOT TRUE, and if you would actually stop and listen YOU WOULD KNOW IT TOO.

EG - I am sorry, how can I help you?

Calm down before you have a heart attack. "My arrogance has gone too far"

My sin is to say I reject calvanism, have not sin to repent of and am not a dispensationalist. These are the things you appear to follow. Please deny them and tell me where you are. I can only say what you appear to be saying to me.

I am not sure I can help you further. If I died would that help? If I became like you, but I do not know what you believe.
You want so fervently me to accept something? That I am saved for eternity? I am, if I stay believing in Christ.

Please, how can I assuage your anger. I will do anything, I just want to help you... Please, before ....

EG - It is you who are continuing this interaction. What would you like me to stop?

(By the way this is close to trying to ban someone which I commented on earlier)
I have withdrawn any understanding of what you believe, you are a clean sheet to me, just a voice.
What do you believe? If you do not want to share that is fine. But you will not leave this alone.

I recon another 100 posts on there way...

Dear reader - EG wants me to do something. I said I would stop interacting. He carried on.

He says I lied about what he believed. I was careful to say what I was rejecting, implying these were the issues he was coming across to me with. But that was a lie a deep insult. I am now arrogant and proud and he wants to break me down.

This is bizarre. Please chip in, because I really am not bothered what people believe, but trying to turn me around and bully me is stupid. So I write a bit open mouthed. This guy is driven, but this is just a thread. I have no pride, I simply shared where I am and why. I am sure those who kill christians for daring to believe something go through the same emotions of anger at them daring to believe in Jesus and His love. More people have come to christ when these two play together than anything else.

Stephen was stonned to death, with the Jews feeling totally justified at the sin these christians had dared to suggest they were guilty of. I am sure if this was not the internet but face to face I would be dead.

You did, I showed it to you at least 5 times, But just so we are clear. I will do it again.


This is interesting advice. I am meant to listen to EG about what?
That I am trying to earn my way to heaven? I am not.
That I should be a calvanist? I am not.
That I should condemn myself about sins I have not commited? I do not need to do this.
That I should be a dispensationalist with a distorted view of salvation? I call this heresy.
1. I have never told you to be a calvanist, In fact you have seen me argue against calvanism.
2. I have never told you to repent of sins you have not commited, that woud be stupid..
3. I have never told you to be a dispensationalist, Never even that I remember spokent to you about it.. Let alone, judge you because you are not a dispensationalist )
in fact I have met very few if any calvanist who are dispensationalsit, So again, you prove you do not listen much)

I was careful to say what I was rejecting, implying these were the issues he was coming across to me with. But that was a lie a deep insult. I am now arrogant and proud and he wants to break me down.
lol I keep proving your lies. by your own words, Yet you refuse to acknowledge you were wrong of even one sin, let alone three. And you want me to call you humble??

This is bizarre. Please chip in, because I really am not bothered what people believe, but trying to turn me around and bully me is stupid.
HA HA HA HA! A bully.. Wow dude, Should I go back and post all the times you were demanding, judging others of bearing false witness to you. and all the things you judged others for?

it is one of th ethings I have against you. I am not being a bully, I am just holding you accountable for your sin against me and others like me.


So I write a bit open mouthed. This guy is driven, but this is just a thread. I have no pride, I simply shared where I am and why.

You have no pride, Yet when you are proven by your own words to have sinned against another, You refuse to confess or acknowledge those sins.

even God demands a child of his confess his sins to his brother.. I guess like everything else. that does not apply to you.

EG - It is you who are continuing this interaction. What would you like me to stop?
All you have to do is confess your sins, admit your error. and show why it is you have arred and made false statements against me (by showing what I really have said) and this would be over with..

You showed me a sin, I confessed.. why can't you?


(By the way this is close to trying to ban someone which I commented on earlier)
Like I said earlier, The chatroom does not just ban people without reason.. If you get banned, do not go blame me, you have your self to blame.
I have withdrawn any understanding of what you believe, you are a clean sheet to me, just a voice.
What do you believe? If you do not want to share that is fine. But you will not leave this alone.

I have to go over it all again??


lets get the sin issue settled first ok??

I recon another 100 posts on there way...
Like many I am sure, I am sick and tired of people coming in here nd bashing my brothers and sisters, Demanding they do this or that Judging them for doing something that the one who is doing the judging does time and time and time again..

You do not have any problem yelling at people saying they lie against what you believe, yet yuo do it all the time (as I am proving now with this line of discussion and you doing it to me)

You have no problem telling people to believe as you or else. yet you get mad when you even think someone is doing that to you

You got mad at someone earlier for putting you into a school of theology, yet you have absolutely no problem classifying myself and others as Calvinist..

If your going to be a hypocrite, after being called out about it over and over and over by MANY MANY PEOPLE.. You cn expect to get called out like you are now..

I wonder, I really wonder, like a person on a sunday afternoon, why pride and anger should be built so high.

It is an insult to be called calvanist.
It is an insult to be told you are calling someone to repent but not of what
It is an insult to suggest their view of christian faith is dispensational.

Where I probably made the mistake is use the word Christian.

Now strictly speaking I never called EG these things. I said I did not agree with these positions.
But maybe association is sinful, because they are so evil. I personally would have fellowship with calvanists, people who say I have sinned and dispensationalists.

Now at the end of this I am meant to be a calm student looking up to my wise teacher and do what they say.
It is a strange approach, but not to a right wing supporter who wishes to impose their ideas on others.

As I said I do not want interaction but somehow this just keeps on rolling.
