Oh...so it's not only in this thread that PHart judges others and calls them lost. I see...

Well, I have to apologize for the above. PHart wasn't online to defend himself, and consistency in my behavior is important to me at this point.

This would be doing the same things that he was doing to Magenta when she was not online, and it isn't right for me to practice the same behavior, so I want to be fair and honest.

I hope you all accept my sincere apology, and also PHart as well, even though I stand opposed to his teachings.

thats why it said:

Romans 7:25, "Thanks be to YHWH, I have deliverance through Yahshua Messiah our King! So then, with this same mind, I myself serve the Law of YHWH, while in the flesh that is yet subject to the law of sin."

Romans 2:15, "Who show the work of the Torah (Instructions/Law) written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing (condemming sin) or even excusing (justifying sin)."

We will all error and when we do we come before the father. When we do he can work in us.

Are you saying, that,
it doesn't matter how much we sin?
Is sinning less, less important?
We could quite easily say, we sin less,
rather than any need to say, we are sinless,
neither in self-defeat saying, we sin more or less.

Light and darkness cannot co-exist. Walking as a child of the light does not make us sinless or perfect. We have a remedy when we do miss the mark.

1 John 1:5-10
[SUP]5 [/SUP]This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. [SUP]6 [/SUP]If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; [SUP]7 [/SUP]but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. [SUP]8 [/SUP]If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. [SUP]9 [/SUP]If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. [SUP]10 [/SUP]If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.

You cannot have one foot in darkness and one foot in light.

Such a great reminder of the bible preacher,there was one person who also was "fair" to his opposition and even to one who could be considered his enemy though he could have done him in thanks to God's power,since phart's not here mind guessing who I'm talking about?

Pharisee alert, Pharisse alert.

Such thoughts sicken me. Legalists to the core.

I was once told because I didn't pray in tongues it was evidence I wasn't saved.

I carried that lie for 17 years.
Robbed me of the joy of my salvation.

I think most in here know I don't often get angry but when I do it's because of the crap that you posted that burdens people and robs them off the joy of their salvation.

Same happened to my aunt, I just hope she found God before she passed away.

It takes only a change in intention to affect change. One must not be wrapped up any in particular intention for a prolonged period. Honesty is truth, and truth is freedom. But when we define the truth for others, we lose our freedom. What matters is being honest from ourselves, rather than honest about others to themselves. Only thing we can be honest from, and to, is ourselves.

I think the struggle for me was that it always seemed I had to compete with Jesus. That's what I heard.Big brother syndrome.

We don't have to compete, just be.
Just be the child of God that we are.

Thanks for the kind intentions. No offense, but truth isn't subjective.
