You are a funny one Fran, lying about people and falsely accusing them and crying about the very things you do. I am not the only one to notice this about you. It would do you good if you could practice what you preach, but you seem incapable despite all the airs you like to put on.
AMEN.........actually a DOUBLE AMEN.........I would rep you but your already off the charts!

I never thought we had a kingdom.,,there is only one King, Jesus but he tells us he has mansions for us.,,which are like castles.

John 14 v 2

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
nope mansions are not castles.. to be precise you cant have more than one king accept for the chosen kings..

That is EXACTLY what I expected out of you.

After all, you do it to everybody that disagrees with you..... some more than others.

When a OSAS doesn't answer to God, he sure won't answer to man.
:rolleyes:
Hilarious.............I actually think I am doing way better....have not called anyone a cake taker and even reported one of my own posts and asked a moderator to change a word I used out of anger because I am trying to do better.......!

Good morning (my time just woke up),

Oh my goodness, did I just share with you nearly 200+ scriptures which contradict your interpretation of Col 2:16-17 for you to say no to God's Word to hold on to your interpretation of 2 scriptures? (Post 22030 with extra links; Post 22032 + Post 22033; and Post 22034 ?

The fact is, the Sabbath is all through the old and new testament you may not have seen the scriptures although much of the new testament ones were already posted to you. If that is all you have to say to the above posts to justify keeping a man made teaching and tradition that has no basis in the God's Word (Sunday Worship) that is between you and God because God's Word will judge us on the last days and I do not judge you (John 12:48-50). If we love Jesus we should follow His Word (John 14:15).

Scripture support:

Mark 2:27-28; Matt 12:1-8; 10-12; 24:20; Mark 3:1-5; Luke 6:1-10; 13:14-16; 14:1-5; John 7:22-23; 9:14; Mark 1:21; Mark 6:2; Luke 4:16; 31; Luke 14:1; 23:56; Acts 13:14; 13:27; 13:44; 15:21; 16:13; 17:2; 18:4; Heb 4:1-12 Rev 1:10; 1John 3:4; Rom 6:23; 1John 2:3-4)

God bless you all :rolleyes:
the modern world need help to survive should we ignor this work on the sabbath day ?

Why would you like NOT KNOWING when YOU CAN KNOW FOR SURE.............

BILL------->These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

coz unlike you who think they know it all there is such thing as honesty when people say they dont know something...

should we say we know something when we dont ?

Faith plus works is biblical.

But works are as a result of faith in Jesus and walking like he has asked us to.
Believers are created to do good works.

Ephesians 2:10
10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

But those works do not save us.

Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

You often say "works keep us saved"
Sorry but I have to disagree given the above verses.

Yes if we truly believe in Jesus we will want to be like him and walk like him.
Not be saved but because we are saved by him and through him and what he did on the cross for us.
AMEN....FAITH and FAITH alone saves ETERNALLY and fulfills the works of the FATHER to believe on him whom he hath sent.....HOW many times have we said that ANY work or ANY fruit are the results of salvation and faith that one already possesses in Christ........it is so simple a 5 year old can understand it.....the hyper religious, workers for, sinless perfectionists and those who teach one can lose salvation<-----not so much!

And truth is WE ALL NEED TO DO BETTER

James 3:5-12
5 Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things.
See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. 8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. 11 Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? 12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.


Ephesians 4:29-32
29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. 32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

you cant lose something that hasnt been obtained by any living man on the face of this plannet yet.......... get it into your head ... when you are walking in eternal life you will be walking with people youve lost along the way...
Listen Jimmy.....at least 10 people have given you a plethora of scripture that proves salvation is a present, current possession that has a present continuing result from a past completed action.....I could care less if you want to continue to deny it and live in ignorance.....

Well Maverich,
you're new here.
What do you think they are?
Do you do works every day?
Are you saved?
Do you wish to please Jesus?
Did He say TO DO or
did He say NOT TO DO?

What do YOU think?
After salvation are we to do NOTHING because Jesus said so?
Where did He say this?
I can't find it anywhere...
Nobody has said this or implied this......your deception goes beyond normal.....!

Why are you questioning my beliefs? Is this your ministry from on high? You and PeterJam are on about seeing into hearts of flesh vs. hearts of stone, what are YOU on about?
