Look it seems youve been beat and it seems you are acting like a saw loser.
It also seems that i have been saved from a total peversity of scripture that you should be thanful for. and that is. it is faith alone that saves and not purity purity happens after death as even Jesus said dont touch me i have not yet ascended. meaning he had to be purified first of all our sins he bor on his shoulders on the cross

I am forever defeated by sin, but forgiven by Christ through the cross.
My walk, my insights, my love, my everything are Christ at work in me.
So I am humble before the cross, and forever I owe all to Jesus and His forgiveness.
So I do not understand your words or intent.
But I am called just to be in communion with Him and share His love with all I meet.
So Praise the Lord, and Amen. Until the day of His return, peace reigns.

I judge no one, I just bring a perspective and highlight warnings in my Lords words.
I have no authority, it is Christ who is the judge, and each persons words that either
condemn or free them.
Jesus himself said this,
If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day.
John 12:47-48
But words appear to be dismissed so quickly, yet it is with words the whole of creation
came into being, through Christ, but His words can be cast aside so easily, even when
He says they are the very basis of judgement to those who hear them.

Is Christ the judge or His words, or both.
In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom
1 Tim 4:1
For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
John 12:47
Jesus's intent was salvation, but those who reject Him will be judged by the
word of God. This is always about consistency and how justice is self fulfilling.
People so often condemn the very things they do themselves, so end up caught.

The more you speak the more you prove you are ignorant of the truth....The bible is clear...all who are born of the spirit are a NEW CREATION IN CHRIST JESUS....you should try the word instead of delusional fantasies....!
AND you can make foolish statements about hard hearts all day long...the only thing I am hard against is the foolishness that you put out friend....one thing is for sure....your consistent......consistently wrong.....!
why not on occasion lighten up.
realize people are working out their salvation.
sometimes we are snared with a besetting sin - it has to stop, but it's hard and sometimes it might take awhile.
if someone is clinging to Jesus with a penitent heart, He will reach down and strengthen them, and show a way out.
add a little milk to your red meat, Peter.
Christians need the gospel every day.

Amen.
But there is a big difference between knowing Jesus's love working in your heart
and having a hard heart where nothing ever has changed, you just go through the
motions.
Confession, repentance, working through who we are, seeing the cross do make
real changes to who we are. It is because people do not push these issues and
take the next step, one step at a time, that they end up compromising it all and
fall into hypocracy just like the pharisees did.
The lie of our emotional dilemmas is we think they are all embracing when in
Jesus and openness we can change. Too few realise by defending our hearts
we lock Jesus out.

Amen to that...You know Paul tried three times with the thorn in his flesh and God said NO...and Paul also knew that the things in his life that he constantly failed at were there so as to keep him humble......In my view we all have unique failures and struggles that keep us humble and our eyes on Jesus.....some deny this and portray themselves as all that and a bag of spiritual chips.....I need Jesus, I need his mercy and grace and I pray for him to make me one of the greatest examples of mercy in His kingdom.......
