Jsr,
If you are hurt by this thread so much, then it ain't so childish. Do you not know the consequences of Jason's false doctrine?
He spews it out. Does not defend it, but rather leads away from it by changing up his words from one response to another.
Now if confronting such tactics hurts you, then I would suggest you either address it, or for the sake of your health, leave this thread. But crying about it, well, that ain't very productive.

Well, I know that I am not perfect and never profess to be as I have my issues, but I would make sure to spend hours in prayer. I want to think I would spend that week doing something like my Grandma did for 30+ years. She ran a Christian organization that gave food boxes to lower income families as well as emergency packages to families that their home burnt down or what not happened. She also gave money out of her own pocket that my grandparents didn't have to help a person pay a bill or gas to get to work the next day. Through doing all of this she would lead these people through the sinner's prayer and it was really amazing to see them accept Christ in their lives and I have grown up witnessing her do all of this and I am blessed that I had a Grandma that loved God with everything inside of her and then some.
She was given an award when she first started this and didn't want to take the credit for it and publicly gave God all the praise and glory for all the resources he blessed them with. I grew up with this mindset and I would love to live the rest of my life giving all I have for others, whether I have a week to live or 80 years. I am blessed to know that she is now in heaven with him dancing and praising God and she will always be a part of who I am. I will always love and miss her, but I know she is healed and in a much better place.

Jason, according to you. We have to have sinless perfection to be saved. Since we don't, we're all doomed eternally. Except you... You seem to have that sinless perfection. So my question is... According to your theology, since we don't have sinless perfection, we are doomed in the next life... Why are you still preaching it? Because according to you. Our fates are sealed. If you are to say "I want to reach someone so they can change their ways" or something similar that contradicts what you say of sinless perfection. Because once we sin after accepting Christ, it's game over, according to you. So why preach this, when what's done is done? Can't have sinless perfection and wanting to help change others at the same time, Jason. You're talking both sides of your mouth, if that's the case. Please answer that.

What is so contrary concerning our Lord is that he was a friend of publicans and sinners and for this was often criticized of the sins of those with who he befriended. Would you risk your reputation as one who was born in sin when Jesus made himself of no reputation as the Son of God born of a woman without sin?

This is just since I've been around. I'm not doing this for any purpose, other than he told me he would respond to me and has not. I have seen him participate in new discussions since he gave me his word. I am not suggesting that he will not keep his word, I am simply stating that I see a pattern -- a pattern which needs to be addressed.

I have been thru a change in my life-style from once working in a demanding physical job to now going to school in transition to another labor market, due to my fall off of a ladder in 2010, but one issue has arisen that I have been reluctant to put on the "getter-done" burner. I have eaten similarly to what I did on my old job routine, healthy and not overly filled with calories, but my energy output is not as high as it was while working in my old job, thus I have gained a few pounds.
God pointed it out, not to mention my pants, my mirror, my friends, my dog, wait maybe my dog had other issues, but basically it wasn't a secret in other words. So, I said, as I always have when a bit off- center food wise, I will simply diet a tad. So I did, yet I hadn't really lost just maintained. God at this point told me I needed to up the ante a bit, but I said to Him, but this has always worked before my way! Plus, Lord I have only gained albs calm down. Now I never actually talk to God like that, but I had thought like that in a way this time.The logic of me not working the same energy output seemed to vacate my cognitive skills for a slight, or I was in denial of obedience and I wanted it to just go away! My right Spirit being a bit uneasy; disturbed.
Turns out God cared about this subject a lot more than I wanted to... or perhaps, at least the direction He cared. Now if I only had a week left, I wouldn't even bother...I would eat whatever I wanted, which might be interesting in and of itself to note what makes me happy...but that's another issue...smile. But, I needed to simply "do" better than I had up to date. Or in Spiritual terms: obey! But now, my focus on the big things God was thriving in, was being challenged by God's Spirit to attend the backdoor of this issue creeping in quietly in the bikeway of my conscience. My trivial 4 lbs were now 10lbs over -weight.
God has shown me I need to take every little thing to heart, before it turns into something big...no pun intended there with the weight gig [Ok, maybe a little]. God has been asking me to not think of my life in view of my priorities of importance. To not map out the goodness prior to His calling, and in the same way to act immediately when His calling arrives on whatever issue He has placed before me, regardless of my current human reasoning is on it.
Needless to say I have come to understand I hate dieting all the more! But equally I have come to understand God isn't concerned with that, He is concerned with my health and well being. And I have actually started wanting the better foods and the need to feel painfully hungry. I am also working out more, basically because I hate dieting and the feeling of painful hunger. Balance is a welcome tradeoff! So, I run the race to win it. I still could use prayer on figuring out my new balanced living arrangements with God and food and exercise and work- loads etc... I am losing but it will take me longer than the twinkle of the nose of God I had hoped for. Wait, I knew God's name isn't Samantha, so I knew what I "ought" do I just needed to do it! Pray I keep doing it! THx. Smile.
2 down 8 to go....I had said 'no' quietly to God, I now simply reapply my 'yes' to everything. And His spirit has testified to me that that 'yes' is as big to Him as any yes I have said.

What part of BORN again don't you understand?
They WERE living in sin.
That was their OLD life and now they are made new through FAITH
You can twist scripture all you like Jason to fit your beliefs but it's not going to change my mind.
BEING BORN AGAIN WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH FAITH SAVES YOU!
WASHED, SANCTIFIED & JUSTIFIED!
