Not trying to be rude but the fact that you openly admit you're unsure about your spiritual status and you say you're not a Christian do you think it's appropriate to be telling anyone the correct/incorrect ways of baptism, salvation, Holy Spirit etc?
Bethy, I would rather say I am from satan and sinneth not and talk NOT FALSE DOCTRINE, that I say I am from God and be reproofed by Satan in God's Word.
This is what I understand not. There is NO USE for me to have a lot of ZEAL and DRIVE to be a child of God, but then do it with my OWN righteousness....
Elizabeth I find this to be true for CC as well..... And this Elizabeth comes STRAIGHT FROM GOD, NOT ME. Bethy, I did NOT write the Bible, I only believe the Bible... 100%. And I do have A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE and I share IN KNOWLEDGE. This knowledge is NOT MY OWN, it comes from the Word of God.....F
or I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
I feel like Paul on this one... I bear witness that Zonie, and Bethy, and greybeard and notuptome, ann and and... have a zeal of God (they have a lot of drive to serve God) but not according to KNOWLEDGE... And that knowledge is the TRTUH... That knowledge will make them free, but they spit in the face of the knowledge.... And here on CC they set up their own righteousness... Jesus died for my sins.... That is their righteousness, yet they sin! Does the TRUTH NOT MAKE THEM FREE...
If Jesus did die for your sins, why do you LIVE IN THEM? Are you not ALSO DEAD to sin? And sin to you? Jesus, and ONLY JESUS is the righteousness and the end of the LAW. Not you, and not you sinning! If God gives you JESUS to REMAIN IN YOU, SIN IS DEAD!!!!! Sin died when YOU DIED WITH JESUS. And righteousness came alive WHEN GOD MADE JESUS ALIVE IN YOU...
Nobody can be BORN OF GOD, if HE DIE NOT FIRST! That is what it means to DIE OFF THE OLD MAN! If I DIE NOT OFF ALL MY SIN, I CANNOT GET JESUS MADE ALIVE IN ME....
That is why God says... LITTLE CHILDREN (that is not young ones in years it is young ones iun faith, like me and you Elizabeth.... LITLLE COBUS, ELIZABETH AND GREAYBEARD AND AND AND... Let no man deceive you, he that do righteousness, is as righteous as I AM RIGHTEOUS.... PERFECT!!!!! If a man sin ONCE, he is not as righteous as God, and Christ IS NOT IN HIM!!!! 1 John 3. Read it!
