and that is good but there is also is a time when we realize that they will not listen no matter what you say, time spent on deaf ears would be much better used for other things. eventually it just becomes senseless arguing

What would be nice is if other people would call them out also.

If one notices, I treat him like others, and just try to discuss his thoughts. As I did earlier, by asking him a question to confirm I was understanding.

It was when he again bore false witness that I confronted him. and it all started again.

It would be nice to just have a discussion, even if we disagree, And not listen to him and others lie about others.. Which gets old.

No need for thanks my friend I am a witness of how you mean well and I would do the same thing if you were in the wrong as well. Like I said I don't choose sides and if I am ever in the wrong I would appreciate it being pointed out as well:)

I wish I had born a false witness against EG, then i would have something to repent of.

Is it bearing a false witness to repeat back what someone has written, so show up their contradictions, to question their heart? But to the hard hearted like EG it is like a waste of words, a peace offering trampled under foot.
Peter, I worry that your issues and feelings towards eg makes you see something that isn't there. I have been guilty of this many times and it wasn't until I realized what I was doing that I was able to see clearly. A lot of times our emotions and our view of people can cloud our judgement

EG quote:

Thank you.. it is much better if someone else does this, than if I do it., When it concerns me



Unfortunately I have him on "ignore"...so I can't see what is being posted most of the time..I gave him the chance to stop with the malice and slander but he keep at it so I just blessed him and now I pray for him BUT I "shook the dust off my feet " from him. When you tell someone over 30X times the same thing and then they continually say the exact opposite of what you say - there is some serious deception going on or dishonesty happening..either way..I just leave him with the Lord...He will be faithful to him and reveal Himself to him when the time comes. Jesus loves him dearly. He is the Lord's absolute favorite one.

Blain. For me the definition of stupid is this.

1 - You are preaching chickens are safe because because the cluck.

2 - No I am preaching if they go in the hen house they are safe from the fox.

1 - No you are not your are preaching chickens are safe because the cluck.

One statement proves the person is lying about another. Now that is stupid. Now you believe EG has good intentions.
I would suggest he is an aggressive individual set on a vendetta to wind up and generally disrupt things as much as possible to push his personal agenda. He displays all the tendencies that I fear a stone hearted person portrays.

Jesus talked about the pharisees about being dead inside. They had no empathy, mercy or forgiveness within them. It was just theology and proving points. The problem I have is in discussing points, equally the same can be spoken of to oneself.

What is becoming apparent is the main defence is claiming they are being slandered rather than in reality people are just expounding what they believe. From my perspective, resisting the Lord and corrupting His gospel like this leads those who are lost more astray, so I suppose let it ripe. They really do want to follow this road to its final destination.

I understand.....the way I look at it now...if after over 30x times being told something and yet they still say the complete opposite of what is said...it's time to let them be..we can't change anyone...only the Holy Spirit can reveal what He needs them to know....I view it as people can see what is being said and can tell that what is being said isn't true concerning others...so if we leave it in the Lord's hands - He will be our defender.

When they revile...we do not revile back..this was the scripture that came to me when dealing with certain people that are malicious and are slandering others..

We need to guard our hearts around those that revile us.....

1 Peter 2:23 (NASB)
[SUP]23 [/SUP] and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously;


1 Peter 4:14 (NASB)
[SUP]14 [/SUP] If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

Peter, I am not sure if you know me well enough yet to know that God gave me a gift to be able to read a persons heart pretty well. Eg while may having flaws is a really good guy he truly loves God and has been there for me when I was down and out, and you i know you too love God with all your heart I can tell you are a good guy and have a kind heart.
I am asking that you try to trust me about eg

When people question your actual beliefs. We can have a discussion, if we disagree, we can disagree.

When people say you believe this, And use that to try to fight you. And the person does not believe that. There can be no discussion, And we can not even agree to disagree, Because the one person does not even know what the persons believes.

If people like HeRose and Peter would stop listening to their training, or what they have been taught others believe, And stop trying to put people under categories based on key words. and ACTUALLY listen to what they are saying.

then we can discuss.

Until then, there can be no discussion.

Calling people calvanist, Arminian, Augustinian, Gnostic, Hypergrace does not help. All it does is put barriers up to real, god inspired discussion.

Blain, There comes a point when it is obvious what trolls want to do. Hyper-grace is a way of justifying yourself through faith to do whatever you want. The reason why so many pastors, theologians, teachers are worried about this heresy is because it is very real and doing a lot of damage to the gospel. Now these types of splits have happened before and will happen again, but EG has decided it is personal. The problem is his approach is to pester someone until they crack.

He does this for weeks, and lost the plot a week or so ago, and his temper let rip. He will continue to say obedience to Christ and walking in righteousness is legalism, but that is fine by me. He has decided it is now slander to say he is not for obedience and righteousness, but if he has changed amen. In one conversation he changed his positions because they did not add up so I expect nothing more.

Anyway you manage to miss the approach he tried that he owns me, knows everything about me, and knows I am a hypocrite. Do you understand what that actually means? But probably not, but bless you. I know seriously Blain you mean well, but EG lost the plot a long long time ago.

What you said here was very wise and will help a lot of people with open hearts. Yes name calling never helps, i think though that more two ppl fight often times it's really because of how close they really are.

I rest my case.

Yet again, A lie against myself, and against those who believe in Grace. Not one person in here has ever said grave or hypergrace is a reason to do whatever you want, or justifying yourself.

Your a dishonest man Peter. Yes, I did go after you Because I tried to get you to admit your sin. To admit you lie about what others believe, And I went after you heard. You proved I was right, and continue to prove it by continuing to ignore the fact that you continually justify your sin.


ps. It is the legalist who tries to justify himself by works. Grace people admit they can nto justify themselves. So saying people who preach grace try to justify themselves is not honest.

Yes I know what a hypocrite means because in more ways than one I am a hypocrite.
But the whole hypergrace thing has already been debated for a long time in this thread and all it did was leave a lot of wounded soldiers.

If you notice, there are only a few people I have ever called out.. I do not get that way with many, And I disagree with a lot..

There is a reason I get personaly with people.. It is when I see them doing wrong, and no one is saying a word
.

As you saw. Once again Peter used his name calling, and lying about another persons belief.

Yet he will not admit he is even in sin..

However. thank you for stepping in, and please continue,, I Have friends that will confront me when I am out of line, You can never have enough of these friends.
