Man brother, All I did was use scripture and the truth of scripture to remind spiritually mature people and newbies to the faith not to let the enemy steal the peace the Holy Spirit gives them....why are you so against this...where did I refer to you or use your username at.....





Why are you making this all about you?

No you did not do that, and I just proved it,


You said look look at my words, and take head, then said in effect it was evil


why do you refuse to repent when it comes to certain people in CC? Are you afraid you migh look weak?

You have a lot of good to share, I do not get why you think you have to go head to head with a few people. And I am not the only one who sees it man.

Scofield? I've heard bad things about Scofield...like don't buy it. lol Not sure why though. might have something to do with the rapture?

It has a great reference system, and a lot of his notes I like, I do not agree with everything he said, but have yet to find a better study bible,

one thing ink I have noticed about those who hate his words, is they claim he said things he never saI'd, like Israel will return to be saved by the law in the tribulation, and ye were saved by law in the OT. He never said these things, I have t laugh..lol

Sorry, interruptions.

This scripture backs what I just posted. We aren't flesh, but Spirit if so be that the Spirit of Christ dwells in us. And it does when we are born again.

Do you see what I am saying? My reasoning is that you can't have feigned love if you depend on His Spirit. We are given all we need to live...in Holy Spirit. His work!

if you Keep what I said in context.. if you had approached me and asked what I meant before telling me you disagreed.. and tbh I did not understand at first... then we could of reasoned together.. I was sharing an experience and stating that the Messiah knows my inwards... and no one can fool Him with feigned love... so to the question of have I sold all I have and give to the poor is for Him to decide... nothing is concealed..


You say how can the Spirit feign love? No the Holy Spirit can not feign love... then we go back to the Have I sold all I have and given to the poor.. which if you go to the Teaching you will learn that it was to prove where the man's heart lay...

I consider our belief differences are so much that we pounce before taking time to understand and I really don't want to chew jerky with you..

So I have wrote you this to stop ongoing needless debate..

Hi NNG

If memory serves me you posted a picture of a KJV bible that you had.
one that was given to you when you were young and it was lost and years later you were reunited with it?

There are times though, when I choose to use the KJV, because a word change adds to confusion over what is really meant, as in Genesis 2:7, where the phrase, "man became a living soul," is changed to something else in different translations 10 out of 22 times on biblehub. Then people go about saying we have a soul as opposed to understanding that we are a soul :(

Ok, fine. You have a point. I was only saying that we do have disagreement and saying how and where.

Perhaps I did misunderstand, but sometimes I don't quite get your English.

Did He ask you to give all your goods? I could understand if He did because He told me to give away my expensive keyboard to a friend. That was hard...and I tried to hide it when she came to visit...as if I could get away from His call. Not. She got it. And it wasn't so hard once I "obeyed". That's what I am talking about with obedience. He will make His will known and we don't have to guess...or depend on someone else to tell us. There may be someone who will confirm though.

And no jerky here to chew. Just the fat.

Billy boy here doing the jiggy jiggly dance.

God is good.

I remember reading your post at the time and remember rejoicing.

NNG, Keep pressing in and on.
I see a young man (no disrespect cause to given my age you are young but don't forget I was your age once and I have t-shirts to prove it) seeking after the Fathers heart, he will surely bless you and reveal his heart to you and I am confident you will walk in his ways.

God bless you brother

mr, you have a problem and the problem is you

the thief is the devil. I did not have you in mind when I wrote what I did in spite of your insistence that I did or I would or stand on your head and chew gum at the same time

now if you want to take credit for him, you go ahead

why do always think everything is about you? a legend in your own mind and wasting other's time

seriously dude

and what if Meggido IS my brother? why should that bother you?

you say that with such scorn that I fear you are harboring hatred or something akin to it

take the sneer out of your voice. it's obvious the superior attitude you assume is blinding you

perhaps there is a reason you often insert yourself into what is not at all about you, however, it's becoming apparent that if someone said water is wet, you would bring up dry ice and insist that is what was said

whatever

Could you please show us anywhere in our replies to rosemary where you or your chat name are intentionally and specifically mentioned?

Rosemary probably only understood when you suddenly realized you and her were standing in a lake of gasoline...and you had a very carelessly lit match in your hand...

You never say what you mean...you just blurt out nonsense that spiritual adults have to go back and clean up...I do this every day in the real world with spiritual teenagers acting like they really know something...do you have any concern, thought or remorse for how OUR words will impact , hurt, offend and possibly destroy baby Christians?

I don't want to say what happened and be accused of boasting because everything belongs to GOD and with that in mind one does not mind sharing all they have.. I am no longer sentimental like I was before my experience.. a relief I must say.. and just to note the man was using the Scripture and not part of my experience... well the one that stands out was many moons ago.,

Anyhow, thank you for sharing.

How am I hurting myself when all I did was use scripture and the truth of scripture to remind spiritually mature people and newbies to the faith not to let the enemy steal the peace the Holy Spirit gives them....

If you are being convicted by the teaching, then take it up with your own pastor or accountability partners and let them know this convicted you and what you need to do about it...We should all have the courage to engage those with more spiritual maturity than we have and discuss being convicted about something in the Word...

are you engaged?

Yep you are just just like him you refuse to admit when you made an error in judgment, I already proved the thief statement was in regulars to what I said, but as usual, you two just have for some reason to think you need to attack,

the only person who matter is the is the one I originally wrote my post to, and we have as true believers in Christ set aside our pride we're able to resolve the issue, you two? Still refuse to do anything but defend yourself, then want to blame me,

consider yourself on ignore with him.
