It was so good it became scripture.<-----------FALSE
Not sure what your point is, or what you mean.

I do though respect your integrity, it is so much better than
meeting someone who will lie and distort what I am saying, which is just sad.

So thank you and bless you in the Lord for your integrity and desire to follow Jesus.

Do these people understand relationships?

Sin is no minor issue, or a thought, or a slip in an off moment. It is a planned intended action
which does harm to others and often oneself but meets some emotional need, which is often
totally selfish. To abide in this is to rebel against Christ, to reject the Kingdom.

I know people who were believers but now would rather say not christians.

This is like your own child ignoring your feelings, doing a self destructive act, and refusing any
support, guidance or help, and walking away as if you never knew them.

The relationship in this situation has died, the pain is so bad, trust is gone, and the drawbridge
is drawn up.

But these people think Jesus counts them as His people, His holy, redeemed, pure, righteous
people when they have actually become His enemies.

This is just universalism under the guise of once in never out, back sliding does not matter.
Now I would say to these people, your heart is so hard you do not know the pain Jesus goes
through for His people all the time, it is nothing to them, because they count it as a free buffee,

I mean chew somebody over, destroy the thing they hold most dear, stuff it, they deserve it
because I am angry. Nope, you have no heart, you have no clue what you are talking about.


Between the two of them my children have done everyone of those things and more than once

Guess what? They are still my children and always will be and I love them dearly

God loves us even more than that

Thank You God for Jesus Christ who gave us power to become sons of God.

I have said what David wrote is God inspired. What I write is God inspired.
If you follow Christ, what you write is God inspired.

So I suggest you miss-understand me. But hey, that is no surprise.
No, Peter. What Chrisitians write is not always inspired...writing a new Bible are we?

I thought someone would say this.
But what I was getting at, is ofcourse we write different things with different levels
of inspiration and benefit.

I was asking the question, partly to myself, of Davids writings, which became Psalms and
which did not? None of us know, because all we have are the Psalms.

And I am not encouraging others to write scripture, because that is not our place.

My point as I need obviously to repeat, David was a man of God, regarded as righteous.

I think some contributors want to be awkward for the sake of it, but God bless you, may the
Lord lead you deeper into His love and acceptance, Amen.

before deliverance and conversion, we are the personification of sin, simply because whether
we want to admit it or not, we are totally carnal and serving the devil...

after conversion, after Jesus totally forgives us or our 'past-sins' - (((wipes our slate clean))),
and our hearts totally, 'only' desire to submit and serve Him to the best of our ability as we
learn 'day-by-day' how to become the-person who He desires us to become for His glory, we just simply
don't go on and humiliate Him or shame Him on purpose, as we once did while we served satan,...

so 'yes', there is most definitely a difference between our just keeping on sinning in our old-world-ways,
and not 'willfully-purposely-un-caringly sinning against Him - we have begun learning how to put on
our 'new-man', which will take a life-time of learning and growing in Him in how to Love our Saviour
and serve Him
to the best of our new heart's ability...haven't you noticed the difference between the heart-ache and the
'not giving a damn' for betraying and hurting Him?

This is an interesting condemnation.
Many preachers preach Gods word to their fellowships. We trust the Holy Spirit is inspiring them
and applying Gods word as a living thing to the lives of those who hear.

Now it is up to the listeners how inspired or not they feel the word actually is.

So this view is not delusional but how we minister one to another.

What kind of fellowship do you attend?
They must not believe the Lord anoints people today and we are not temples of the
Holy Spirit, who does not speak through living disciples.

So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
Rom 12:5

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?
1 Cor 6:19
