An individual who calls those whom God saves wicked, is one who does not speak from the Holy Spirit

Seriously, what is the motivation here? this accusation is serious because this type of person accuses as does the devil himself

I would not hesitate to state that this type of person is dangerous and should not be fellowshipped with as they spread lies, dissention and discord among believers

The fruit is not love and forgivenss...the fruit is false accusation and lies with a joyful heart in so doing

This entire thread is actually about judgement and condemnation...both the marks of a false prophet

Jason......
I, (Blond), really don't want to sound mean here........ But do you read and understand English as written? When I said totally off topic it meant what followed was not on either topic of Pride or Depression...It meant what was to follow were my own off topic thoughts.....statement......

Where in the world do you get that what I meant in any way was the statement I highlighted in RED above? Do you make rash assumptions much?



Quote:Jason

Anyways, to answer your questions: I do work hard at a job 40 + hours a week. As for sleep: I do not always sleep much on my work days because I am working back to back shifts (with only a few hours inbetween). I sleep mostly on my off days.

As for talking about the issue of Pride: It would be entirely meaningless to discuss such verses if they did not actually apply to us, no?
Thanks for answering my off topic questions... And for the record I believe each one of us deals with a little bit of Pride in our hearts and all the Pride Bible Verses would be good to take note of....

YES budman got it right. you get it wrong because you see everything through works save eyes.
No Budman does not have it right, just read his thread called "An interesting question" here's his quote.....

Originally Posted by Budman

A statement like that should send off all sorts of alarms and warnings for those who have the Spirit.

Tares are false brethren among the wheat Jesus is the one who calls the tares wicked

The wicked are manifest as the children of God are.

YES budman got it right. you get it wrong because you see everything through works save eyes. if you keep reading Titus, it says NOT BY WORKS OF RIGHTIOUSNESS WHICH WE HAVE DONE BUT BY HIS MERCY HE SAVED US. get it right please. context. not isolated verses.
No, the plural of works is used here twice. But works is Titus talking about? Our works or God's work done in us? Titus 1:16 is talking about God's work done in you (Which is the natural result of abiding in God). Titus 3:15 is talking about man's outward work (whereby he is trying to save himself by a system of good deeds without Jesus Christ).

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. Matthew 7:6

Some folks here are rending believers in the name of their little god...self righteousness

I think it's time to stop casting our pearls, but I guess I'll leave you to it although I do wish you people with the pearls would understand the vitriol and ugliness behind some of these posts.. They are not dialoguing with you...they are accusing you and
do not wish you well.

Their fruit is not growing on the tree of eternal life

May God have mercy on those who are judging here and doing so falsely in Jesus name

You don't understand what folk here are trying to tell you

No worries...this thread has run its course before it started

As for answering your questions: You are most welcome.

As for the issue of Pride: Well, Pride according to the Bible is when one does not humble themselves before God. This leads to destruction and not salvation.

The mark of a false prophet is using God's Name to hide behind in order to shoot suddenly at the innocent

You cannot answer a simple question because it reveals you are accusing believers...like you just did here

The accuser is satan himself...so, yah know, reveal your heart in your attempt to make an innocent person guilty before God

You don't have that power and I take your words seriously because I see the spirit behind them...


So, yeah, you ARE calling believers wicked...you just did it...

As you say, so you are

another one on ignore.....sigh
Well there ya go, you didn't need me to say what you were wanting so hard for me to say, but I did not say. But even still that did not stop you from bearing false witness against me by trying to put words in my mouth. What spirit do you suppose that is? :)

Mat 13:38 The field is the world;
the good seed are the children of the kingdom;
but the tares are the children of the wicked one; (1 John 3:10)

The wheat and the tares are to grow together which is why we are told not to be deceived in this

1 John 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you:
he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

And in this the two are manifest (wheat and tares)

1 John 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, (good seed)
and the children of the devil
: (the tares/ the wicked)
whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,
neither he that loveth not his brother.
(twofold)

1 John 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning,
that we should love one another.

1 John 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one (the devil) and slew his brother.
And wherefore slew he him?
Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

Shows the two growing together in the body of Christ

But Jesus was the one who calls the tares as those of the wicked one even as God pointed out the wicked among his own people in jeremiah's day as well, the angels must sever the wicked from among the just.

But false brethren are spoken of, who might call themselves brethren, in fact even when that man committed fornication (with his fathers wife) Paul said put away from you THAT wicked man (who was brought back in, as I might regard it in 2 Corinthians, but nevertheless Paul calls him wicked by the Holy Ghost so it could possible be understaood as accusing the Holy Ghost as speaking wickedly in that

Sure... not a problem. Pardon my typos, i hate my ipad.
Cause , Grace, is FOREVER.
matthew 6:15....living the Christian life, again not talking eternal life not being takin, but a separation from the fellowship of christ, still saved
So you are saying that you can have eternal life and yet also not be forgiven? I am sorry. That doesn't make sense. One has eternal life because they are forgiven.

And the flip side of that,

"But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:" (Mark 3:29).

As I said before, eternal life is not a super power or some kind of wish that is granted to you by some genie. Nor is it a thing that is separate from the Son. Eternal life is a property that is exclusive to the Son of God. For he that has the Son has life and he that does not have the Son does not have life (1 John 5:12). Jesus alone possesses immortality (1 Timothy 6:16). This lets us know that you cannot be out of fellowship with God and still be saved (Which goes against the popular belief held by many OSAS proponents).

Actually, here is a complete list of passages (I found) that tell us that you cannot be out of fellowship with God and be saved.

#1. 1 John 5:12 says He that has the Son has life and He that does not have the Son does not have life. Life is associated with eternal life or salvation.

#2. John 17:3 says eternal life is in knowing the one true God, Jesus Christ. Knowing implies a fellowship. So if you don't know Jesus, then you don't have life (Salvation).

#3. Romans 8:9 says if he a man does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.

#4. Psalm 73:27 says God will destroy all those who abandon Him (or go a whoring from Him).

#5. John 15:6 says if a man does not abide in Him, he is cast forth and burned.

#6. 1 John 1:7 says if we walk in the Light as He is in the Light, the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin.

#7. Romans 11:21-22 says if you do not continue in his goodness you will be cut off. For if God spared not the natural branches (i.e. the Jews), take heed that he can do the same to you (i.e. Gentile believers). The analogy here is that you are branch and Christ is the tree. We need to continue in Christ's righteousness.

Paul said (through the Holy Ghost)

1 Cr 5:13 But them that are without God judgeth.
Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

He did not say that wicked person was a someone that was without but of a someone that was within (this person being among themselves). Paul called him that wicked person (presently fornicating) which is according to the unrepentant state of the man doing the same alongside of 1 Cr 5:11 (that which is called a brother) they were told to put away that wicked person from among themselves.

Nowadays they might want to get rid of whoever adresses wickedness but at least there we see Paul call such a man among them "that wicked person" who was a fornicator ( called a brother) who was within, who Paul told in 1 Cr 5:11 not to even eat with such a one, even a railer (which is actually more common among them) and in the same sentence being adressed by Paul as "that wicked person".

The wicked were among his own people back then, but even so it is now as Paul showed

Jerm 5:26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares;they set a trap, they catch men.

Just as there were false prophets (then) even so now (2 Peter 2:1). Just as he that persecuted the one born of the promise (then, as shown in Isaac Gal 4:29) Paul said, even so, now.

Just as in the last days there would be false accusers 2 Ti 3:3 despisers of them that are good.

And all of this in places unable to endure sound doctrine, which happens in and among the religious sphere of things.

Mockers who follow their own lusts and those that heap up teachers after their own lusts. Its pretty clear that self denial will not be popular with such (and among such) in the last of days.

Good post ember. Being argumentative accusing and obstinate is an evil spirit and needs to be rebuked.
