Now let me take this small point. It is something that is sad, hurtful, miss-leading, odd, uncaring,
inappropriate, incorrect, miss-interpretation, miss-appropriation of meaning, discouraging, condemning,
dishonouring of the Lord and His ways, not recognising the value of scripture no matter how small.
A quote is given so that something of value is brought out. If quoting scripture became a moral stand,
who could actually stop reading, in case someone else decided you should not stop there.
And on me quoting scripture, which point am I making? Do I actually say, or do I just quote it?
So as a reader you read in what you want. If you want you can read the context further.
I thought it was an interesting contrast about how the apostles were being treated and how their
motives where pure and wholesome.
So I am then found guilty of a crime, and then condemned for sin.
I do not really need to say much more, because the response really says it all.
One trait I notice about a group of people, they feel they can say anything and imply what
the like, even when it is meaningless because for some reason it makes sense to them.
And I suppose it does. God bless you, I am not quite sure what you woke up from and what
you are intending to become, but this is not a good start.

Thank you so much for posting this, Praise be to God...I have been convicted today for something i should of done, but instead i have to admit i behaved lukewarm...I have spoken with God over the matter as I know that the Holy Spirit brought to my mind that i did not produce fruit when the moment was right, this fruit being kind to the needy...Scales have been taken from my eyes today, and i thank God that His Son my Lord Jesus Christ is teaching me, and what you wrote here from the Scriptures, I truly believe God wanted me to see this, so although you have posted this for reasons to do with the conversation going on about Salvation, your post has also blessed me for a different reason...God is wonderful, all the glory to God...xox...God working through you, to me has made me a stronger sapling...
But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. 5 You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.
1 Thess 5:4-5
Do children of light look to condemn others or bring peace, love and understanding?
Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.
Eph 4:15
speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord
Eph 5:19

Peterjens,you didn't just quote scriptures...you added this as commentary..
Judgement day is only a thief in night for those who are NOT God's children.
Therefore your use of that verse to condemn eternal security of God's children is false.
God's children find peace and safety in God's loving arms. Why do you attack that security and call it an idol?
