DONE!

[Whispered]

That was not addressed to you.

Your post #203 made it appear you were addressing me. If I am mistaken in how the quotes appear here please forgive me.

 

[Lightskin]

False prophets will always stir, it's all they have. A new version or way or formula. Praise God His elect listen and follow Him amen

I don’t wish to argue but rather correspond with love and respect. That said however, you seem to be stirring a little yourself. Post #345 speaks on my behalf. If you wish to argue, I ask you seek arguments elsewhere rather than with me. Peace be with you.

There is something wrong here, no post, no proof, so just slander.

I knew someone addicted to lying to everyone, even when they knew it was a lie. So what is it?

And it pains me to respond to you but truth is more important than my pain presently....

You sir have a lot of nerve talking about lying and you know, that we all know, what I mean!!

Incomprehensible

A wounded ego is a dangerous thing

I see no indication of such?

The storms are life's troubles, stresses, but obedience and it fruit defend us. Very different. Thank you for sharing your view.

I can agree with you that the storms are life's troubles and we all go through these storms.

I do not agree that it is my obedience that defends.

I have done much prayerful study on life's trials because I have gone through my share ... just as I am sure you have gone through your trials ... and everyone posting in this thread has gone through their trials.

What I have found is that it is God Who sustains us in times of trial:

1 Peter 5:​

​

6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: ​

​

7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. ​

​

8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: ​

​

9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. ​

​

10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you]. ​

​

11 To him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.​

​

While we are going through our times of affliction, the God of all grace is working within us to perfect, stablish, strengthen, and settle us, and it is God working within us which helps us to resist the adversary as he seeks to devour.

If I rely on my obedience, it'd be hit or miss.

​

This is just one record out of many which plainly states that God works within us as we go through difficult times and it is God Who keeps us safe. I trust God to see me through. And I know you do as well.

Just clarifying a small point ... not anything to get riled about. I am sure we all can agree on this one small point. Yes?

What makes you think this

 

[eternally-gratefull]

I think it has been confirmed

 

[PennEd]

I see no indication of such?

She's quiet, and her profile is no longer available.

 

[tourist]

Sin batters me every single day. To say otherwise would be dishonest. Yet be that as it may, I am secure in my faith in Christ and He has secured my eternal, irrevocable salvation.

Right on, brother.

Did Jesus have love when He flipped the tables? Absolutely - Love does not mean one will not do difficult and hard things.

You can state a fact, but if not said in love, it is not truth! (my view! ) (Remember that God = truth so did you bring God to the person?)

Expressing love with lies makes no sense - you are right!
Expressing truth without love makes no sense either!

I think we're making some of these things too complicated.

A. To make a true statement, is to make a true statement.
B. To make a true statement while acting like a jerk, is to make a true statement while acting like a jerk.

It needn't be any more complicated than this.

We're getting very close to running completely off the rails making logically irrational claims about the nature of truth statements... let's just keep it simple and easy.

It's just A and B.
It's very simple.

A and B is also very Biblical.

There are verses for that.

Let's just keep keep it simple.

My stance was clear, so was your false assertion...I quoted scripture....receive it or reject it.......!!

Here I'll do your homework...

Christ Brings Division (Luke 12:51–53; 14:26, 27) “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; and a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

A small example of the holy spirit at work.


Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ (Mark 8:27–30; Luke 9:18–20) When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.

Even by BDF standards this thread was a mess. Hopefully people will make peace or it will be shut down.

 

[Lanolin]

Is the OP ok? She seems a bit defensive, I hope whoever it was that got her goat has been forgiven. Sometimes its hard when all you are doing is being yourself and sharing your testimony, and then have someone turn and say they just dont believe you.

 

[Lanolin]

I would be a bit upset as well, but that even happned to Jesus some of the diciples didnt believe him EVEN when he came back from the dead, and he was upbraiding them for not believing. Try not to take it too personally. Some people are just...a bit slow!

Its on them to believe or not, that shouldnt shake your own faith in God.

"a bit"

Time away from BDF will be a good thing ... When I need time away from BDF I go read all of Jane Austen.... Lanolin as a librarian you should appreciate time spent in a good book.

Pottersclay ... surely you see this is not about Truth dividing against truth, but truth against falsehood?

Truth is complete unity
