I have thought about that too, how many times this person said. "This is my last argument" and then they would come back immediately with another argument, another thread, more of the same after saying how many times, no more. And how many profiles have been created by the same person? Leaving in a pique and then coming back only to leave again and return once more. It causes me to wonder about the mental stability of such a person. How well do they know themself? If they know themself so little, how well can they truly understand others?

This is what gets argued. Were all our sins forgiven, aside from blasphemy? To say everything was forgiven is not to say we have freedom to sin. The glass is not that dark and yet either side attempts to make the other out to be saying something they are not. Both sides agree that it is God's grace that allows us to obey. Still, the arguments about this have been going on as long as I have been a member of this site, if not longer. Another funny thing about it is that members from either camp accuse me of being in the other camp. The blind should not be attempting to lead.
yes magenta all our sins WERE forgiven at the cross think of this, we died to the law of moses because we died with Christ. those things we did wrong are all paid in full, all because of Grace. now its different though. we don't beloing to ourselves or no one, we belong to God now. Jesus laid out a whole new law really remember how many times he says " you have heard that it was said, but I tell you" that was Jesus taking the mosaic law from authority in Gods Kingdom, BUT those things he taught are now our rule and standard.

still in Jesus at this point a person may sin tomorrow, this sin can be forgiven through repentance and forgiving others. in Christ when a person says you must obey look at His teachings " if you forgive others, God will forgive you" that's our forgiveness in Jesus Christ or remember the old golden rule ? do unto others as you would have them do unto you?" how I treat my fellow man is how I can expect now, being in Christ, God to treat me when I stand before Jesus. its not that we in Christ are perfect in obedience, but we are in obedience. and if we are obeying, we do have forgiveness because we are forgiving others as commanded by Jesus.


the law of moses had no such teachings. it was based on " an eye for an eye" no grace imparted. Jesus changed it all our whole " religion" is now changed. were not jewish, we don't follow moses or the Levitical priesthood, Jesus changed all of that. what we obey changed with the words of Christ. we don't stone sinners now, we forgive them and teach show them their error, we encourage, we care for those who need in the world around us. we just find out the spirit of Jesus teachings ( brotherly Love) and we obey those precepts now. so tomorrow if I see a sinner do something I know is sin, I wont be talking behind their back, or judging them or avoiding them like the plkague, but if I do that, I need to repent and change how I do that because God saw all my sin and forgave all of it. But now that that happened if I go and show no mercy to others, I will then go to face a very angry God that promises to show no mercy ( the parable of the unforgiving debtor) were saved by grace, saved isn't just forgiven, it is to be remade into a totally new creation. when a sinner comes to Jesus all there sins are forgiven as they repent and do right they are re made. we must persevere in Jesus

I would like you to know, as much as we disagree, (and what percentage is that -- 90%-95% of the time? lol), I do agree with you here. JP doesn't teach lawlessness.
what are the requirements in jps gospel? if its conditionless then its without law

also, doesnt he teach were not to confess sin because its impossible for us to sin now? or is that sermon just something I mis heard again. I agree jp wont say lawless grace, but its an unconditional salvation he teaches. just believe doent matter what you do is his message clearly that's why he avoids any condition clearly written in God word. if its impossible to sin, that means there is no law to transgress, which means he is teaching a law less grace

hey willie if you sit and listen to a sermon, or even 20-30 sermoins of a pastor, at that point what they are saying should be clear or something is wrong. this is my own opinion, maybe learn what Gods word says first, and then watch 2 or 3 sermons of a person, if they are teaching whats not taught in Gods word, trust God at that point. if the bible says you need to obey God, and a pastor is saying obedience is a work of the flesh and a deception hear whats being said. ask yourself
would God EVER make obedience less than essential knowing His character of HOLINESS? does God ever change? will he ever have intimate fellowship with sin? things like that. discernment comes through His word, and just as much through asking Him to give discernment so you wont be led astray. rather than study all these men. why not stayu fixed on Jesus and His words in you will then guide in understanding and discerning of Good and evil ? a chriatian should know whether a teaching is false, or true, the standard of truth is Gods living Word, Jesus. the TRUTH the way and life. if Jesus Himself is the truth of God, why do His words not carry the truths Gods people need? remember willie " many false prophets are in the world, their goal is to pull people away from Jesus Christ and His sound doctrines.

2 john 1:9 "Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son."

or paul?
1 timothy 6 :3-4 "If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, hey are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions...."


all sound good doctrine NEEDS to agree with the principles and teachings of Christ, pauls do, they are just so distrorted now days in favor of a lawless grace that He did not teach that doctrine was an issue in pauls day. several warnings are given in the new testament about making Gods grace to mean were free to do as we wish and remained saved. the word is there for a reason, if we didn't have Gods word, there would be no way to really know if a person was teaching a true thing or a deception, but by His Grace, again, He had it all written down for the world to know how to get home
Your very first paragraph exposes a fallacy that seems to negate the premise you are attempting to build your case upon.. As we merely listen to something (and for some here, even as we read), the moment we hear something we don't agree with, the following words are often dismissed or at least "lost" to our considered cognizant absorption.

Consequently, any further listening is already compromised by our foregone presumptions.

The same thing can happen in reading, but there is a stronger chance that a person given to thinking will go back and immediately reread the offending statement... perhaps two or three times in a row. (Smart people often actually reread several pages when confusion of disbelief strike.) This rarely (almost never) happens while listening to a video.

Add to this, the contributing distractions of the speaker's oral delivery, his possible accent or tonal inflection, his demeanor, his style of dress, the setting behind him, and a host of other things, and you get far less of the actual meaning of words delivered, and much more of a uniquely psychologically censored delivery of the information.

The old dodge of "Well, I'm a visual (or, audio) learner." further substantiates this concept, in that much more information is being processed as you watch a video than just the pure, unadulterated facts as written in black and white on a page.

LOL...fair enough Lynn...sounds good to me. I do love your humor. You crack me up sometimes when I read your stuff. God bless you. I pray for you and your hubby before the Father when I think of you. Maybe we will live beside one another in heaven some day? I love your heart....:)

Yep..that is her but it was 1 John 1:7 I will post it here now about her.


Sometimes we think some truths are new but in reality they are not. Here is someone back in the 1800's that had a "heretical" understanding of grace in the form of our sins being forgiven.

I was reading this morning about a hymn writer from the 1800's called Frances Ridley Havergal. She wrote many hymns and knew Latin, French, German, Greek and Hebrew. She also knew by heart the 4 gospels, epistles and the book of Revelation by the time she was 23 years old - yet she still lived in total defeat. She thought she had "great wickedness in her heart" - because of religious traditions taught to her.

It wasn't until she was reading in the Greek that the present tense was used for 1 John 1:7 ..."His blood cleanseth us from all sin".

She realized all her sins were forgiven by the blood of Jesus and thus she believed it and experienced peace and joy in her life because of this truth.

Here is a direct quote:

" Have we not been limiting 1 John 1:7 , by practically making it refer only to "remission of sins that are past" instead of taking the grand simplicity of "cleanseth from all sin"?

"All" is all; and as we may trust Him to cleanse us from the stain of past sins so we may trust Him to cleanse us from all present defilement; yes, all!

By refusing to take 1 John 1:7 in it's fullness, we will lose the fullness of it's application and power in our lives. It goes on cleansing , and I have no words to tell how my heart rejoices in it."


She got the revelation that all her sins were forgiven because she was in Christ and in the Light. She was able to walk free in Christ from that point on. Today she would be called a "hyper-grace" heretic by some.

Believing the true gospel will change us as we grow in His grace.

TAKE MY LIFE, AND LET IT BE

Take my life, and let it be Consecrated Lord, to Thee. Take my moments and my days, Let them flow in ceaseless praise, let them flow in ceaseless praise

Take my hands, and let them move At the impulse of Thy love. Take my feet, and let them be Swift and beautiful for Thee, Swift and beautiful for Thee.

Take my voice, and let me sing Always only for my King. Take my lips, and let them be filled with messages from Thee, Filled with messages from Thee.

Take my silver and my gold. Not a mite would I withhold. Take my intellect and use Every power as Thou shalt choose, Every power as Thou shalt choose.

Take my will and make it Thine; It shall be no longer mine. Take my heart; it is Thine own; It shall be Thy royal throne, It shall be Thy royal throne.

Take my love; my Lord, I pour At Thy feet its treasure store. Take my self, and I will be Ever only, all for Thee, Ever, only, all for Thee.

Frances Ridley Havergal


LIKE A RIVER GLORIOUS

Like a river glorious Is God's perfect peace, Over all victorious In its bright increase; Perfect, yet it floweth Fuller every day; Perfect, yet it groweth, Deeper all the way..

Stayed upon Jehovah Hearts are fully blest, Finding as He promised, Perfect peace and rest.

Hidden in the hollow Of His blessed hand, Never foe can follow, Never traitor stand. Not a surge of worry, Not a shade of care, Not a blast of hurry Touch the Spirit there.

Stayed upon Jehovah Hearts are fully blest, Finding as He promised, Perfect peace and rest.

Every joy or trial Falleth from above, Traced upon our dial By the Sun of love. We may trust Him fully All for us to do; They who trust Him wholly Find Him wholly true.

Stayed upon Jehovah Hearts are fully blest, Finding, as He promised, Perfect peace and rest.

Wommack is what he is. If Benny Hinn wrote a commentary, I guess you would read his also? What ever happened to the older tried & true commentaries?

While we read many, we usually quote our favorites. I read yours.
:)


Can't say I've had much to do with Benny Hinn so I can't say one way or the other about Him and wouldn't. But I have read many other Christian works and can give a working opinion when it comes to them. Andrew Wommack's is one I can say I have used a few times for sure here on cc.

OHhh hey Willie!!! thanks for posting that link. I got AW whole commentary on cd for my laptop computer but have yet to put it in. I told you how lacking I am with computer issues. But really want to see AW commentary on the books of the Bible he has not put on his website. Although I don't agree with all of his commentary it has been very helpful in the many other areas we do see eye to eye on. (And they sent it to me free when I called.)

But I'm glad you did read some of AWs commentary Stephen63. I have found some of his commentary on Communion quite worthy of cutting and pasting quite a few times here on CC.

its always funny how you guys go in circles lol answer nothing, consider nothing and group together cheering each other on disregarding all the truth. but I'm good with it you guys obviously have issues with what ive written for months, why do you always end up reading and concerning yourselves with obedience taught by Jesus. paul, john and the rest maybe something in you all is being drawn to it lol idk but I find little value in the nonsense. but coming from a guy who often uses name calling like " inbred idiots" it really is already expected. like with 777 ive argued with this guy for moinths we go in the same circle, he uses the same jp authorized scriptures omits all the same ones and is unchanging, I stick to the whole message we just go in circles its fruitless. do you folks not get the value in going to a post where some fruit can be had? its just a waste of my time, your time, graces time, lynns time ect. like this comment willie, its about 2 minutes of my life wasted. an endless circle between grace grace and righteousness because of Grace that we are commanded to walk in. its really silly, you all should preach grace grace to people who never have read or don't know Gods word, maybe then youll help them accept Jesus, and someone else will show them Grace, doesn't mean you now don't have absolute responsibility to honor the suffering and death of Jesus.


just a thought tho theres a lot more fuitful places on this site for the gog folk and those here to argue and name call and faction up lol either way tho insulting or disputing with me is a waste of time for you, and for me. I kinda just pop in and off here to reach the people with a heart for Jesus and His things, not really on here to debate herecies. the gog is dangerous for people is the only reason id ever even address such a teaching. lots of folks turning against truth. but idk tho, maybe find a post about shouting grace grace to all the ills of the world and I'm sure itll all work out

Actually it was not "name calling." I asked if people who read, very plainly, a statement written on a website that made a clear declaration, yet turned right around after reading that statement, and said it actually said something else.... were inbred idiots.

And I am still wondering. They clearly seem to have something wrong with not being able to understand simple written words.

or maybe salvation according to Jesus
To me they are the same, because salvation is ultimate healing unto eternal life.

Why look at the temporal sufferings when the eternal promise is so much more glorious?

I will keep my eyes fixed on Christ and continue to take one right and faithful step towards where He leads me.

Hurt people continue to hurt others but if we allow God to heal our hearts, minds and souls we can learn to help heal others by giving them love as God loves us.

The most powerful healing is unseen by the world's eyes; when God draws us from our sin and towards Him. When He saves us and gives us faith to believe that Jesus died for us upon the cross and we are given the Holy Spirit to confidently proclaim we are His children and cry out Abba, Father.

It's when the Gospel changes lives and heals that breech between men and God.

we cheer each other on.....right

no. I just have a thing for the truth and there is alot of it missing around here

for one, I have been labelled hyper grace when I don't even know what that is supposed to be

why and by who?

people who NEED to believe they are better because deep down they know they are not

people who sin and lead a sinful lifestyle are SINNERS. they are not hyper grace

Grace is God's unmerited favor. It is not a license to sin.

I dunno

some kind of cloaking device?

it's like a child when you say do not touch the hot stove

they just gotta touch it...

however, it's a reverse principal in this case

possibly perverse, cause I do not know what else to call it when something states the OPPOSITE of what is being said and folks still insist it does not say what it does in fact say

I believe the actual posted and authorized words of any organization's website to be much more indicative of what they stand for than a half-baked private conclusion of their beliefs derived from personal interpretation of some video.

Wow, that post was very impressive Willie!! Nice word useage!!! I agree very much with what you say here. If people want to claim they know how another person believes they should at least go to the source or the person's or organizations website. So many people here DO NOT and just flippantly state as fact their opinions about someone.

So many Christians here on CC or out there in the public forums such as tv or radio or internet have been accused of believing things they don't even agree with or come close to believing.., and then the false judgment continues with more condemnation on top of that false accusation.. then the process of hurting the person even more by means of "skewering" and "frying" and "broiling" and "baking" takes place. So your "half-baked" description certainly got my attention.

It is a process used that means no good intent. Finding the truth should always be the goal. And seriously., our measly limited human opinions about what we think someone is or does when we have not even met them should be very limited for sure. There is SOOOOO much more to a person that what first meets our eyes and ears. Grace is what sees past what might seem obvious.

I believe we Christians should be reeeaaalllly taking to heart the slow to speak quick to hear and listen admonition from the Bible. Even people in the world who have some character have learned this truth about waiting and showing some reservations and patience before blurting out their opinions about another person.
