True....that’s what Jesus says is the conviction in a mans soul..and the purpose of the Holy Spirit
The purpose of the Holy Spirit is to convict the world on the sin of not believing on Jesus .
John 16
8And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9Of sin, because they believe not on me;

Can you tell me Why Jesus was hated....what are your thoughts...can someone be hated for delivering a message that is acceptable or not acceptable .
what do you think he was saying that caused the people to say crucify him...to have so much hatred in their heart....
See my previous post...

Jesus came to save the world, yet they did not want to be saved. They loved sin/darkness so much that they wanted to kill him because they didn't want their sins to be made manifest and reproved. That's how much they hated the light and wanted to stay in darkness.

not at all...I really like everyone here...it’s so important to discuss....like in ancient times..people sat around the fire and discussed important matters...
So let's discuss, and let's have no more implications from you that others here aren't also followers of Jesus.

“And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me,

let him deny himself, and take up his cross,

and follow me.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭8:34‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭8:34-36

“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:

and he will shew you things to come.

He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭16:12-14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

the epistles

“deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. “

“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit,

and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:16-

“It is the spirit that quickeneth;

the flesh profiteth nothing:

the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭6:63‬ ‭KJV‬‬


“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh;

but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

For to be carnally minded is death;

but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin;

but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die:

but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:1-6, 9-10, 13-14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body”

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:28-29‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Christ teaches us how to not keep obeying the law of sin and to put to death the deeds of the flesh so we can be saved

“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:

of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:19-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

gotta believe the gospel because Jesus tesches us to our sin to death before we commit it . Teaches us to combat the lust that remote us inwardly so we are t tempted to sin outwardly the doctrine of the spirit makes a challenge and. A promise worth believing and attending

“Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.”
‭‭John‬ ‭7:16-17‬ ‭KJV‬‬


“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” ( Romans 8)
‭‭John‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

It all goes together the mercy forgiveness hrace and truth

we can’t keep following the flesh , but first we have to believe the spirit to get free them the rest is Gods work to bring us into repentance and obedience because we believe

No no..I would never imply anything..apologies if you took it as such...we friends
i really enjoy having meaningful conversation...more especially we are on opposite ends of the earth....I think our childhood observations of life play a crucial role as we get older and more mature in our thinking...be friends we can learn a lot from each other...one in Christ

34And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

35Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

36¶For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

37But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

38Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

39And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

40Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;

41Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

42¶And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
Its not saying the way you said it?
There's no anger here 😊
Ok thanks..I’m new here so I don’t know how to post verses yet....I will get there

Luke 2:34 And Simeon blessed them, and he said to his mother Mary: "Behold, this one has been set for the ruin and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and as a sign which will be Luke 2:35 And a sword will pass through your own soul, so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed."

What I’m saying is

“When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart.

This is he which received seed by the way side.

But he that received the seed into stony places,

the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

He also that received seed

among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it;

which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold,

some sixty,

some thirty.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13:

“Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints, For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:4-6‬ ‭

“In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭2:25-26‬ ‭

Yes and a disciple is one who follows in the masters footsteps......and if they do not follow and desert their master to avoid the suffering.....then what are they now called...
Still saved, according to most of the Calvinists in this forum. They find it very easy to ignore passages that speak of APOSTACY....

John 6:66 From that [time] many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

Which verse is that please?
Luke
9:23 And he said to [them] all, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
9:24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
9:25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and [in his] Father's, and of the holy angels.

Matthew 7:6 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.

Instead of acting like you are God's gift to us, get off your high horse and start acting like you are not better; for in truth, you aren't. You are a sinner in need of a saviour, and your arrogance is a stench.
Sweeeeeeet.

35For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
Yes and what is the Gospel ( good news) here please ?
the same shall save it.

You are arguing against the Words of Christ.

We must surrender all to Him. We need to count the cost. Do you want me to print that verse out for you also?
