Like I said I'll wait for a moderator to decide what the action will be. You projecting hostility on me doesn't mean it was. A lot of people are vehemently hostile towards being corrected. Your posts are proof of that.
Yeah like when I posted a scripture ONLY in our first engagement....whatevz PAL ;)

YOUR RESPONSE to a scripture that I posted

Your response....

I suggest you read my post before this one and stop reading the King James version if you don't understand what it is saying.

Come on you sound pretty good here... If you can give you must learn to take!
Romans 3:22 does not say that Jesus' faith is imputed to us, it says that the righteousness of God is available to all who confess Jesus as their savior. Jesus is our righteousness not our faith.
As far as the rest of the scripture you quoted is concerned I would suggest you stop reading the King James version because you obviously don't understand it and switch to another version that is more in keeping with your own personal vernacular.
Try the NET, NIV, or NLT. Even the NEW King James Version is a better translation than the one you've used above.

It's not talking about a mutual faith of Christ, it is talking about the mutual Christian faith which is not the same thing.
If you're going to quote scripture then don't quoted out of context like you've done enough.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world. 9 God, whom I serve in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you 10 in my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God’s will the way may be opened for me to come to you.
11 I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong— 12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.

The faith here in Romans 1 is the faith of the believers at Rome. The faith of the Romans has been displayed through their obedience. See Romans 16:19, For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

Faith always works hand in hand with obedience. Christ's faith was on display as He was obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Once again, Christ's faith justifies.

Now you even resort to misrepresenting the Greek. How dishonest can somebody be? The only one that's getting hostile here is you. I'll wait to see what the moderators have to say about your hostility.

Meanwhile;

You must be new. This behavior is the norm in the Bible Discussion Forums. So don't expect something that mild to phase the mods. People get away with worse all the time.

Thanks.

By responding positively to how God draws us to the reality of Jesus Christ. Everybody has a spiritual aspect to themselves and if they ignore it or refuse to listen to it then that is on them. In the end every man is judged by what he does know, regardless of whether or not he admits it. Remember the scripture says that every knee will bow and that is not going to be a voluntary thing for many.
Thanks.

Yes that heart - the one that responds positively to God. Which doesn't ignore or refuse Him.

How do i get that one?

i need this to live

Stan,

Here at CC, when we're upset with people, we don't "tell on them" to moderators.

We just meet them at a paintball range so we can shoot them.

At least... I always tell people it's a paintball range.
Although I appreciate your sentiment I found the best thing to do on all the sites I'm on is to get the moderators involved.

In the real world, people with a big mouth and hostility would never openly assault me like they do on forums. At 6'4" and 280 lbs I do have a very unsettling effect on most people, which I must admit I will use for my advantage.

Exactly.....No matter how one slices and dices faith is of or from God as he is the author of faith......he deals to man faith and it is the perfect, complete faith of Christ that justifies.....!

There is a learning curve to CC.. until one knows personality, offense comes easy.. some are rude always, some just seem that way.. truth is found when all comments are taken into account..

btw this is for SJ

Good and bad, both =D

I did see some of his behavior as well, which wasn't as innocent as he wants to come across. But my overall point was the general behavior of this section of the forums. (=

It starts with a single step of being born again and remember that it is always the baby that instigates the birthing process not the parent.

Well...the Bible Discussion Forum is a debate area.

So, we have to expect people here to disagree and debate.
