Oh I have projects?

Do tell me what they are Peterjens?

Also tell me what it means when you say "they are right and you are wrong"?

Are you referring the discussion of conviction of sins by 5
The Holy spirit or that we are not sinners but saints?

We settled that a couple pages ago (no G777 though) and are now having cake.

Would you like some?

then ask death , if a second place finish , is worthy of a prize. given if death has been conquered , we no long need death as a punishment. because a gods finished work was beyond a measuring stick to human logic. and worked beyond history. so education would only be a building block to the knowing ,why we enter death, it has yet to be proclaim, how jesus was let go by death,for death to be executed and thrown in to the fire, in revelation. so now death is silent ,before he faces death. and to think this a story about da sha vu.

Dear sister, Do you know righteousness and the way sin holds us?

The rich young man played to Jesus. Here I am good teacher, I have made it, I just
need you to say I am home dry. What does Jesus say, give up your wealth and follow
me.

Why? Because it was all front, nothing needs to change, I have done it all.

If I went mad for Christ I might be sent as a missionary to Africa. No that is too much,
or some other excuse. I might have to give up my settled life and travel and meet strangers
and risk my life.

There are more excuses than people can dream up about not being free from sin, and actually
knowing the living God.

Moses and Israel. God the Father was there, but they wanted orgies and idol worship.

So I think you understanding is very limited. And you have not really understood love and
the living God. I see unfortunately zero progress with your projects, you have just confirmed
their belief they are right and you are wrong.

And if you do not know the self deception of your own heart, you are just beginning on this
road. It truly shocked me when I found out I could not trust myself. A bit hard to know your
biggest enemy is yourself. Always ironic, when one considers all the faults in everyone else.
lol
dear numb nut, there is no point continuing, if your logic has been proven a false.

21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose .Galatians 2:

and i echo, who first told you.

a computer program is no good, if it needs time to react. to learn how to switch off death. the only problem, you have is getting off the planet, to live in eternity of your own planing and on your own planet, that you made to escape.

22 Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever-Genesis 3: The Fall

you can run but cannot not hide.

was death was conquered with the logic of law, but that story is complicated . could death kill truth. etc

Yeah...you assume that he agrees with you. I would like to know if he really does.

G777. Does the Holy spirit rebuke believers when they sin?

What happened to iron sharpening iron?

Sorry - I have been away all day and tomorrow I am traveling to a pickleball championship and a Lobster festival.

The Greek word for "rebuke" is different then to "convict".

Here is Jesus using the greek word "to rebuke".

Matthew 8:26 (NASB)
[SUP]26 [/SUP] He *said to them, "Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?" Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm.

Matthew 17:18 (KJV)
[SUP]18 [/SUP] And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

Matthew 16:20 (KJV)
[SUP]20 [/SUP] Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

Mark 1:25 (NASB)
[SUP]25 [/SUP] And Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!"

Luke 4:39 (NASB)
[SUP]39 [/SUP] And standing over her, He rebuked the fever, and it left her; and she immediately got up and waited on them.

The word means to "speak strongly to". Yes - the Lord does speak strongly to us for sure at times.

Here Jesus spoke strongly to the disciples because of their "unbelief".

Mark 16:14 (NASB)
[SUP]14 [/SUP] Afterward He appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He reproached them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen.


But - there is still no scripture that says the Holy Spirit "convicts" the believer of sin - especially as the term is used by a lot of us Christians.

The scriptures don't exist that say the Holy Spirit convicts the "believer in Christ" of sin - it is a man-made tradition. The greek word for "convict" as it is used in the KJV means "to convince". We don't need "convincing " to know what sin is.

It is the law that brings the knowledge of sin. The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of grace - not the Spirit of conviction. The Holy Spirit speaks to us the things of Christ and reveals Christ to us. He speaks of the ministry of righteousness which we have in Christ.

It's our own conscience that speaks to us that we sin and that comes from man eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Romans 2 talks about this. Our conscience will both either accuse us or else defend us.

The law is written on all of our hearts the law that came from the eating of the wrong tree.

But Hebrews said that those that have been cleansed will have no more consciousness of sins. Peter talks about those that are not growing in the things of Christ because they have "forgotten that they were once cleansed of their sins".

Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. The Holy Spirit "convinces the believer" of the things of Christ and all that He has done.

I am cheering the workers on to work harder, work harder, ever harder until they come to the end of themselves. It's the only way to reach the truth. PeterJens, lift those weights, dig those holes deeper, I'm pulling for you. Keep going, there's not much time. YOU CAN(t) DO IT!!!!!

Here is the point.

A large number believe they will dwell in sin till they die.
Some believe it is just being human. They refuse to specify which sin and how this
works out. They freely admit they are evil doers bound to sin.

But we are called to discipleship, to learn how to walk in the Spirit not the flesh.
How can one say you know Jesus yet walk in the flesh?

If Jesus cannot make you clean through the cross, your hope is in vain.
Either you love righteousness and hate sin or you do not.

My friends sin is death, not some accidental issue, but chosen harm intended one to another.
Love is life, the giving of something freely, one person to another. Paul says in serving one
another in love we fulfill the law. So rather than condemning yourself on some feeling or thought,
realise how loved you are and how beautiful your walk of grace is. So tell me and think of
the acts of grace and love you will do today. God bless you.

On knowing God

To walk in the light is to know our failings.
We are Gods Holy people, a nation called to the throne walking in love.

God has purchased you and you are precious. You have felt His overwhelming
love so learn how to share it to others. The world is lost because they have shut
love out and live in guilt and sin. If this light of love dwells in you, you are saved
and walking in His light.

Too many know the words yet testify they walk in darkness.
Their own testimony stands against them. Repent and find cleansing through
the cross and leave the ways of sin and death.

It is a choice of faith. Do you believe Christ can cleanse you?

Junk of the term workers of salvation

A fool says in His heart he is safe when he is lost, he is rich when he is poor,
he has arrived when the journey has just begun.

Are you the image of Christ? Do you walk in the light or still stumble about not
sure who or what is in control of your life? You have barely begun the way.

And if you stay where you are your faith will fade away.
Is your testimony of love or selfish acts of sin? If darkness is within you how can
you say you know the light. Repent and seek His face and he will make you perfect
by following Him.

Ariel - the Spirit behind the rebellion is clear, yet you call these followers brothers.

Their own sin testimony stands against them. To encourage their slander and sin just
makes it worse. A man at peace with sin is a man lost to Christ.

Every scripture that speaks of love and life is closed to them for who voluntarily condemns
themselves to death and calls this salvation. Their consciences are seared, there hearts set
and nothing changes.

I have talked to dead men walking before, knowing there end was set, and they still talked
like tomorrow would come like any other.

Korah's rebellion was complete, and when I mention this, they dare not even think about it.
That is true spiritual blindness. And I share this with you because I have hope for you still.

God bless you, May His love guide your paths and you know His will

Today I've been called dumb and a free loader.. lol.. I've been called much much worse than what he and Peter called me.. LOL
blue - I apologize for calling you dumb.
Please forgive me. I do love you and rejoice with you in your victories.
Cancer is a terrible illness, and the anxiety caused can be totally
debilitating.

Ironically my chances of living much longer are very low if I go on the
men in my family. But I say praise God , I would rather be with Him than
continue in this mess of spiritual blindness. But that is a selfish thought,
but if I can bless and serve, amen, glory to the King.

God bless you and may you find love and rest in Christ today, amen

That is not a description of those who are born of God (1 John 3:7-10).

Isn't it a sin to call someone "dumb" and other names?

Matthew 5

21“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ 22But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brotherc will be liable to judgment; whoever insultsd his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the helle of fire.
