1 John 4:1
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
"Are you still so dull?" Jesus asked them. "Don't you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things make a man "unclean". "For our of the heart comes..false testimony, slander." These are what make a man 'Unclean."

I just got here but..what wow!.."You already answered when you said her line of questioning was insincere?" How can you know this , when the scriptures say only God can judge the hearts of man?
"She did not come here to seek understanding?", sorry still not in the wheel house for you to conclude- JUDGEMENT.
If all we can do is to reconcile people was your intent here to have her confess her sin, while committing your own? Don't worry about the spec in your brothers eye, worry about the log in your own scripture comes to mind.
Then, you expand the judgement.."but to misrepresent my post, bring accusations, bear false witness, and then outright lie about your motives"...each one judgement. If we are to reconcile, how would you feel after someone tells you that? Reconciled? corrected, or even rebuked in Godly love, based on the Word of God, and given in love? God says, do not judge lest ye be judged. Discernment is for reconciliation, none of the comments made were discernment, they were judgement.


Then you go on to mock her by saying now you ACT LIKE you are sincere etc etc.. I did not see her accusing you, by the way.She was stating her opinions, and asking questions of you. She doesn't agree I don't believe but this was not the conclusions of your judgements. Then the LOL, comment...was reconciling on the docket then?
You can say without a doubt? So I must conclude you don't agree with the scripture that says only God can judge the minds of Men?....so after more judgement calls I won't rewrite, you become jury by saying you will leave her to her own understandings. Reconciliation to Christ? Is this your dusting of your feet to those in the city that don't receive you? Based on Gods Word and decrees?

Matt. 5:20...For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the Teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Matt. 5:22.....But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgement......................[Vs.22].."anyone who says you fool! will be in danger of the fire of Hell.

We then also have a tag team affect, for I even feel it and I am not her. That agree with you. We may have differing opinions, but we need to guard our tongues, for words do not leave us without a return of some kind.
Good golly, Miss Molly. . .

Couldn't have said that better myself!

10 All those who depend on works of law are under a curse, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not remain in all the things written in the scroll of the Law by doing them.” 11 Moreover, it is evident that by law no one is declared righteous with God, because “the righteous one will live by reason of faith.” 12 Now the Law is not based on faith. Rather, “anyone who does these things will live by means of them.” 13 Christ purchased us, releasing us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse instead of us, because it is written: “Accursed is every man hung upon a stake.” 14 This was so that the blessing of Abraham would come to the nations by means of Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promised spirit through our faith. (Galatians 3:10-14)
And how was Christ "made a curse" again the curse in not the law, but sin.

Galatians 3:13
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

And the Word was made flesh.

Romans 8:3
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:

Made to be sin....made to be a curse

2 Corinthians 5:21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

I already answered when I said your inquiry and line of questioning is not sincere. You did not come here to seek understanding, but to misrepresent my post, bring accusations, bear false witness and then outright lie about your motives. Now you act like you are truly sincere in seeking understanding from me, whom you accused over and over again? LOL!

I can say without a doubt that your understanding is just that, and what you have tried to accomplish in this thread is not of the Holy Spirit. So yes, I will leave you with your "own understanding."

I'm not going to continue on this thread any further.

As we can see its about her own understanding as she herself just admitted.

How she might wrest the scriptures provided according to her own understanding (verses yours) is really not your problem to sort out for her.

And given what she just said she is admittedly arguing with herself.

Let her continue to beat herself up

All the heat comes from lighting up all the straw she is trying to put in your mouth.

The "non responsiveness" of Jesus Christ our Lord would be counted a victory if one sought to follow him when their conversation was being set up for their sport. She posts "non responsive" (to alert the readers there is something "in that" ) "as if" it shows something commendable on her own part. When in fact your "non responsiveness" to what you feel is insincere questioning (while being provoked to answer for yourself) is what I find commmendable.

Which would fustrate her efforts to strive with you and so it is "a must" to create something from false in order to continue on with what she desires to do with you (which is strive) and we see that intent surface in creating what is false and putting it in your mouth to another poster (which she did in her post to MarcR) in order to draw in and create a two way conversation without you (on the straw). That helps create the illusion that there is something in what she made up (since another is being used in the game) to give it some merit.

Im sure some folks will called that "light" verses the kindling it really is.

Here is a beautiful crown of plastic straws that were taped together perfect for the occasion

This consuming obsession with you over your post is insanity.

But she seems to seek a crown, and she has at least earned one

So, here is a beautiful crown of straws

What does that have to do with the verse I quoted 1 John 4:1. (not my words) Are you saying scripture is dull, or unclean? Again, I only posted scripture, not my words.

"She did not come here to seek understanding?", sorry still not in the wheel house for you to conclude- ..............
whether she lied, was insincere, or just coming from error, that she /he/it/ stays in and defends or
cannot defend,
the scriptures has been opposed by her/he/it directly many times; and he/she/it has opposed those
posting the truth many times, sometimes it is done with subtlety, sometimes more obviously, but none-the-less it is done over and over and over again,
with
or
without understanding of the TRUTH and without agreeing with the TRUTH....

i.e. what is the source of the problem behind the poster is not so far revealed, but will be when GOD choses to do so.
meanwhile, the posts are not reliable, true, nor trustworthy,
and
it is well within the realm of SCRIPTURE to note this for what it is and , IF possible, seek resolution --- so far it has been resisted, refused, or denied.

She lied there, but thats okay, creating straw man and dust is her speciality
the why's and wherefore's are still unknown. as is the 'school' behind the posts..... and why it is even posted or defended or promoted.

I suppose I would rather treat someone as sincere and be wrong than treat someone as insincere and be wrong.
Im sorry you were put in the middle because you are a man of integrity and I have great respect for you as I have told you this before.

So I am sorry you were being used to that effect, this is not your fault. (you just didnt see what was going on) or how you were being used.

Sometimes there are not things visible to everyone lurking and now we have others pulling a dog by the ears and all that good stuff.

Theres are things which if kept nicely uncover you can really get away with alot.

Dont respond any further and involve yourself.

I have learned alot on this thread the last couple of days, I am thru with the thread and the woman on it.

The Lord deal to her as He seems fit to.

It says..."to be a sin offering"...Jesus never became a sinner. He became the shoulders of all of mans sins. Big difference.

Well done. . .are you allowing for the possibility they could have refused the laws God presented to them?
Certainly they could have; but I wouldn't want to speculate on God's response to that.

Your original question was whether they should have.
Yes, that idea is proposed by ISIT, which is why I asked.
Perhaps,
unless the continuing relationship were conditional on acceptance. That could be seen as inferred; but certainly not explicit.
I need your help in understanding Biblically how Israel refusing the laws God told Moses to present to them, which is refusing the covenant, can even be on the radar ("perhaps").

Can you explain it to me in a way that agrees with the NT presentation of the Sinaitic Covenant (Ex 20-23) and the Mosaic laws?
Elin,

I did not recognize that question in ISIT's post. If I had seen that I would not have liked the post.


I answered YOUR question at first by saying I didn't see rejection as an option.

When you pressed me to speculate, I obliged you.

I find myself in agreement with you most of the time; so I sought to oblige you.

Monkey in the middle has never been my favorite game,
especially when I'm put in the role of the monkey.
LOL. . .I heard that!

So I understand your answer to be,
"NO, because a continuing relationship with God depended on their acceptance of the laws and the covenant."

Thanks.

The curse is God's punishment on the guilt of sin, condemnation to God's wrath (Ro 5:9), which Christ took for us on the cross.

Galatians 3:13
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
"Made a curse"--to become a curse for us (Gal 3:13),

to bear our sin in his own body (flesh) on the tree (1Pe 2:24).



And the Word was made flesh.

Romans 8:3
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:

Made to be sin....made to be a curse
"Made to be sin" is made to be a sin offering (2Co 5:21).

The sinner's sin was placed on the sacrificial offering which took the punishment of death in the sinner's place.

maybe. maybe not. it's awkward to know --- as you noted, a lot is 'hidden' that will someday be revealed... they both have 'liked' some of my posts, and
others they
have each at different times (or the same time if it happened)
rejected outright as if they had some
knowledge outside or instead of the WORD of GOD that was better.....
and
the
'why' or 'wherefore' thereof remains unknown... (but looks like an agenda, not in Scripture agenda, being protected or defended...... )

again, still, it is not clearly out in the open.... and I haven't seen anyone 'press in' to find out, if that matters.

it will take quite some time and revelation , probably, and is not seemingly possible on this forum..... (due to so many constraints - time and space and other known and unknown)... (maybe, mostly, 'willingness'?... hadn't thought of that one before.... but as JESUS says, concerning Jerusalem's residents, He desired to gather them under His Wings (protecting them, nurturing them, saving them, helping and healing them) , and they "would not") ....

Just MarcR's last post I erred in reading what he actually meant to say, he never corrected me so Elin highlighting it actually helped to show what he said.

I can say I am wrong, and I have also agreed with Elin's point about the one vow, but if someone is saying they arent saying something Im not going to stick it in their mouth and make believe its there.
