Phil 1:15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
Shall the gospel be compromised?
For the cause of Christ

Your constant hyperbole nonsense is annoying at best. I need not look beyond post #198, but if I did, I'd find more than just your one reference. Always the negative; always the buzzkill.
Why not share the Gospel with love and confidence rather than brimstone and fear.
The word Gospel means Good News. Embrace it for what it is -- Good News.

What is fruit? It is our doctrine and what we believe and apply. It is not being "sweet and nice", its truth.
By their fruit/doctrine you will know them. You are a Brother and I would stake my eternal life on it.
Keep on bringing the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ Brother. It is much appreciated by some.

I was on my own Thi Christmas. As i was I needed to pass time during the break, so rejoined the site for the eigth time lol to pass Tim over the holiday. Holiday is now over, so it I Tim to leave again. I find being on these sites stops your spiritual growth if you spend a lot of tine on them.
But I just want to point something out to you if I may. Anyone who spends great amounts of Tim on websites such as these is the third example in the parable of the sower, not the fourth. If they were the fourth they would be out in the real world bringing in a bountiful harvest wouldn't they.
You are not a bad chap at all, its just in your hyper exuberance you like to think you and a small handful of others understands the gospel message to a degree no one else does. I understand in light of Thi you only want a slanted half message as it were. Indeed, I used to be just the same.
But lastly, I want to sincerely thank you. For you have brought home to mw in a most real way, the whole of the message must be preached, not just parts of it in a hyper way so we feel we have truth few others know. Indeed, as I gave read your posts I have much reflected I used to be so much like you. I am glad I now accept all of the message ra tye get than what i did previously
Well good luck for the future, I am sure we will sometime meet again.
Can you tell the mod sz I am supposed to be indefinitely banned. It will save ne doing it
God bless

BTW grace
My lasting impression of the grace camp will be how earnestly they kept stressing only the new man mattered, not sin in the flesh.
How much they kept stressing the amount a Christian sins has no bearing on their eternal security.
I have to admit, going to such great lengths to stress this drew me to a certain conclusion.
But then, if the basics of salvational belief are stressed but not the obligation in the christian life, where does that leave people who only follow what they only preach so earnestly?
You need the whole message to grow
Heck you could read the literal letter of the bible through fifty times, gain much head knowledge and know little spiritual truth Tha mattered couldn't you. The people of Jesus day who knew the literal letter inside out prove that.
I don't believe you are a Pharisee btw, just someone who never matured in the faith. Neither have I as I should, Tha is why I ended up on these kinds of websites

God's grace and love must be preached and taught in its fullness !!!
We can not only preach half the message and leave the other untaught, and love does not always come in the form of soothing words we want to hear.
That is what the itching ears doctrines do that lead people astray, they say things to lead people to think they don't have to change and what they are doing is acceptable. Therefore they follow after the lie !!!
God's grace has two sides in its teaching:
A) His love and mercy
B) The warnings about continuous deliberate sinning (fire and brimstone)
We should not preach and teach one without the other, we need to give a balance of both !!!

We can't live the Christian way of life apart from being saved. Salvation...........then the Christian way of life.
We can't know spiritual truth apart from being saved, Salvation..........then Spiritual truth.
As unbelievers we can only understand the Gospel. Which is salvation for men. We can go absolutely, positively no further than that apart from being Born-again.
We NEED the Spirit to grow, no Spirit no salvation,....no salvation no growth.

Why do you think people who know the literal letter inside out are on the internet for vast amounts of time rather than utilising what they have read to seek lost souls in the world?
In my case it I because many years ago I did not do what God wanted me to do. I did what I wanted, not what God wanted me to do. Because of that I never matured un the faith as I should have done.
That's me honestly giving my reason

Glad to see you rejoined this site under an assumed name, preached heresy that smacks Jesus in the face, and all the while acting the fool. By your fruit you are known, James.
You're an oxymoron -- a proud coward who can't admit he's wrong, can't fess up when called out on your heretical hyperbole nonsense, and yet more importantly, you're too proud and cowardly to give thanks to God for the free gift He has given. That's astonishing!
Have a good night, James, I mean, Coward.
