convince me of what? that the Lord i serve will not help me? -- Who said that the Lord will not HELP you?
that if i abide in Him and His words abide in me that i wont have fruit? -- So we all better start producing fruit or be like the unproductive servant who take what he had taken away from him and thrown in out darkness (give over to the tormentors).dont think you understand the tormenters, but anyway...we cant produce fruit...we only bear it.
Or that if im faithful..i still should worry? -- if you produice fruit than no. But if not then yeslike i said you dont understand you CANT rpoduce fruit...just wood hay and stubble
Is He Lord? Didnt He make promises? --- Did not God make promises to the Hebrews and some did not hearken to His Voice and thus did not receive His promises. Simple faith, if you become disobedient, rest in the assurance that God will remain faithful.Of coarse they were disobedient...they didnt believe. you know that.If they had they would have been obedient
Did He ask me to trust Him? Do you? YES! then no worries. If you do not trust Him in His leading you? Then what? As a broken record, yes I trust Him to lead me home and I trust that what He has said is True. Why not simply accept one can fall.Well i know people will fall, never said they couldnt..done it myself. But Guess whose arms i fell in when i did?
Cast all my cares on Him? Amen.
There are hundreds of verses people could have brought to your thread. -- and yet there are still thousands more which they ignore.I just think you have the wrong attitude and perspective...the ones youve contended with do not ignore any scripture they have been wonderful faithfull upright believers that didnt like your position and how you are dealing with scripture. Most of them have walked many many years with the Lord and have deep understanding of all the scripture you provided and seen your point and understand your sentament.
Only thing i see in what you teach is that ill fall away. -- yes there is that possbility, otherwise the God would not have said so.like i said i have, but thats not the end of the story.
Or because
I trust Him more than me...even tho the word says a man who trusts in himself is a fool.
I shouldnt have hope. -- Hope is only given to those who trust. So, if one falls and remains there, does he still trust?Not according to my experience, i guess when He pulled me into His arms i could have jacked Him in the face...but it just didnt come into my mind
Im not against anyone warning people with truth. Im not a grace only teacher. -- Hmmm
Youd like to think so. -- who then approves of yuour posts if not the ones you say you are not a part of? One is know by the flock they flock with.Oh im sure everyone here that opposed you have rebuked many folks as often as it was necessary..but maybe
with words seasoned with grace and always with the intent to restore...unless it was time
to bid them farewell till they repented. And surely they all believe in total obedience to bad you never thought to ask.
But then you may think since i have my trust in the Lord
its because im wallowing in sin. -- that would be between you and God.But I will say that God's Spirit is not to be denied His leading. I trust my Lord and I have salvation. You say you have trust in Him, and accordingly, you have salvation. But never forget, that the reward is at the end of the race, not in the middle where there is pitfalls.Im not forgetting the race isnt over. But the race isnt with
God on the sidelines waiting for me to fall so He can laugh and condemn me...He died for me..He wants to purify me. Do you know why job didnt pack it in? maybe not.
But thats not even logical although its been all over
these threads.
