. It is plain to see that many here have a huge problem with being adressed in a straightforward manner, with respect. It is also known as ADMONISHMENT. I feel sorry for the pastor who you usurp and ridicule when he tries to guide you to walking a Christlike walk.
Humility defined, IMO, is taking all things in subjection, from all men, and testing the spirit, then, being slow to speak, expose or support it with scripture. Take a page from Jesus' book- and humble yourselves. You have a HUGE problem with the way you speak to people and you need to check your attitudes at the altar. How can you approach the Lord and bring anything to him of value with the hearts you hold? Dont you know the heart is revealed by the mouth? You have blackness and sin within your heart, hatred and animosity have usurped God upon the thrones of your hearts. Repent! Show fruit of the Spirit! Love! Peace! Comfort! Joy! REPENT YOU WICKED TONGUED DEVILS!!
Nothing about this thread was meant to be sarcastic- it was meant to wholly call attention to the manner in which several of you "CC Clique" members react to those who think that ceasing from sin is heretical, or have a different opinion! New members, WHO ARE CHRISTIANS- are full out ridiculed and assaulted by you if they come here and are not yet learned or share differing opinion. I find it disgusting that members here would try and use scripture to defend an ugly problem they have! I am remorseful that i have to speak like this- i would rather speak in love and praise...but i cannot due to your insolence and sickness of heart.
Yet for all of this they would not repent.
In love i ask you to consider your ways before the Lord. Consider the heart that you speak to. Consider the records in heaven that record every last word you speak- as well as the intent of the heart. THE INTENT OF YOUR WORDS WILL CAUSE YOU TO BE SENT TO HELL. Repent.
In the name of Jesus i beg you. Amen.
