As to the erronious post above by a certain someone. I said learning difficulties,which she herself stated. As well the constant switching from little faith,OSAS,Charismatic,now this was and does make My head spin.

Further her own assessment may be correct about such illness as opposed to disability.

Exactly,taking the Micky out of my learning difficulties...nasty and spiteful.....a deranged confused head.

You are now trying to cover up your nastiness.
Then post how much you care for me....FALSE!....caught red handed.
Now stay away from me.

Correction:

-Originator of our faith
-Source of our faith
-Object of our faith

But hey! One out of three (33%) ain't bad!
How were your grades at that Bible college that you attended?

I thought you were taking the moral high road.

Remember this statement....

I am refraining from condemning criticisms of the viewpoints of others and I would like to encourage others to improve the civil ethics on this board. I have myself been caught up in shouting matches and I don't want that to happen any longer. I am begging for a similar courtesy from yourself as well.
Just be yourself at least that way we know what to expect.

When God testified to my spirit that I was his child,their is instant recognition in my spirit that he is my Father,therefore instant love...I fell in Love with God there and then.

His love penetrate deep into my soul.
I heard about Jesus and how He is our brother who loves us, watches over us and through Him we will live forever. My heart burst open with joy that day and I still have that joy more than 50 years later.

The difference between you and me is that I heard of Him; I heard the Gospel and rejoiced. God testified to my spirit on that day and He still does so. That’s not to take away from your experience; it’s just different from mine.

No one can come to the Son unless the Father draws them...the chosen ones who have no choice in the matter....because they were chosen before they were born.
Jesus said He would draw all men to Himself...

This has been pointed out multiple times.

Is it another one of the Scriptures you deny?




John 12:31-32 :)

JR, I’m not picking on you or fighting with you but am forced to ask, why is it you disagreed with @Magenta when her post 1168 is a direct quote from Scripture?

Here let me help you.... "all" means those that were chosen before the foundation of the world, secret language.

Because god wanted to be dishonest and give people false hope.

She accused me again of denying scripture..hence the red X

I deny no scripture...but I can question its interpretation by some....not the scripture magnenta posted that’s self explanatory.

Same as the scripture I posted back to her.

Wonderful. Two questions:
-Why did God not "give" "enough" faith to those who are condemned to hell?
-Does God CONTINUE to love those who are in hell? With endless eternal love?
Everyone is condemned to hell before they are saved.

Did you miss these recent exchanges? (<- Magenta text is a link :))

Still waiting to see those words from your very first post...in scripture...which incidentally don’t exist,as you would have posted them by now.🤣

Non believers are not saved yet God is working in them none the less.....makes no sense.to others yes it did,not to me as it wasn’t scriptural.

You should have quoted scripture..instead of your own words.

As well, if certain people are predestined and given faith and saved by the sole choosing of God .. why does Jesus ask this question?

Luke 18:8 . . . . However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?"

I think maybe because when He comes back , will it be like in the days of Noah , when only 8 people where saved?
There is going to be a lot of apostasy , persecution in them days , faith is going to be rare...

My question is to you.....why would one who was CHOSEN concern themselves with that.....of course their Faith in Christ will remain on the earth?

It was God given....now cv may see it differently.
