I will not apologise for standing for the truth.. LBG is obviously offended and insulted by the truth..oops I meant silas, I must be thinking of someone else...?
And if you are offended then there is nothing I can do about that.. but I will say again and say it very clear as I have been saying.
You cannot be a christian and DENY who Jesus says he is! If that offends , well it is truth .
I have thought again and I still stand by what I have said, for it is the truth of scripture!
I am no longer offended I was at first by your words about condemning people for not seeing things the way you do , , but like the bible says do not say angry for long, (so i am ok now praise the lord.) It is up to you what you do and say its your choice, but know this the choices you make, make you who you are, the bible says if you do not say something when you could of said something and help a brother to to see his fault and turn him from his sin, then i will be held responsible, I have shown you your fault,
you can ask the lord in your own time for forgiveness. i will not force you , but i will show you something to make you see the light, mark 13:31 heaven and earth will pass a way but my word will not pass away.
luke 17:3Pay attention to yourselves If your brother sins rebuke him and if he repents forgive him.
romans 14.1
Welcome the person who is weak in faith but not in order to argue about differences of opinion.
originally posted by you phil36 If you do not believe Jesus is God, then your not a Christian.
my reply to this was would you say that to there face,
your reply was = I certainly would.
you can argue about this all you like phil 36 but what ever way you look at this it s forcing your believes.
When you where baptized phil36 by what ever means you where baptized whether it was by water or by prayer(asking with a sincere heart did you at any time have to believe that Jesus was god to be baptized,
Can you see whats wrong with your statement. now, where talking about christians who have been baptized sealed with the holy spirit, until the day of redemption, ok phil if there not believing there Jesus God what does this mean, it could mean there new, it could mean there weak in there faith,
what does the bible say phil it says welcome those weak in faith,

remember the question i asked you befor that phil
phil answer this question if you and phil went down to your local shop one day and your local shopkeeper said i want to learn about god and i want to become a christian, and then he said i have a a hard time understanding Jesus is God would you both be helping him by saying unless you confess Jesus is god your going to hell,,
your answer was,, It depends how much time I had..But quickly, I would say what Jesus has done for him.. why he needs to believe in Jesus.. what are the consequences of his life choices.. and ask him to earnestly seek the Lord..

This i like so why go on to take the attitude you did, ??? but for a new believer asking you this question you should find time,
