Do you have issue with reading comprehension?
You are talking about godliness and the need for Christians to have it. Grace777, agrees.
He says "what you do righteousness" refers to work salvation which is bad.
You agree that salvation is only by Christ work on the cross, which is "faith righteousness"
Sematics and folks unwilling to forgive, bless those who curse them, go the extra mile to learn what the other person truly means.
This is maturity in Christ?
No instead you both will call me blind to the other person's sins.
You are wrong, I see clearly your sins and my own too, I still try and play the fool for trying to make people see their hyprocrisy...
Who have you truly. Blessed that bas cursed you?
Do you even know what blessing and cursing means?
Ariel - I ask for a little patience. I express my faith simply, and connect each concept
with biblical theology. I am then told I am a works salvationist and need to repent,
and believe differently. The words I use are repeated back at me, and then I realise
the theology is the same except they imagine differences and decide to say I am anti-Christ.
Now I have no clue what they are, just playing games with words, denying one set of ideas,
and then including them back in a different context. So it is just about antagonism and authority,
which they believe they deserve and others like myself should be excluded as we are leading
people to hell.
In their world I hope they are happy but this double speak has nothing to do with me,
and I will still share and witness to the reality in my heart.
What is obvious is as a group they deny walking righteously, and continually go back to
sin which is impossible to be free from. God bless them, for they sit in a prison of their
unbelief. The cross is about impossible victory and fulfilled dreams of knowing love working
through our whole being. This is what the gifts of the spirit are for and how we minister
one to another.
For a group not under condemnation, and not aware of sin but righteousness, is it not totally
hypocritical when all their preaching is about the failure of others "legalists", how evil they
are and how they totally fail. And when you ask them about their walk, it is always sin
which they are aware of, because without this condemnation, they would not know they needed
Christ so much. Now if you understand this total failure you know what walking in Christ is.
And that is the problem, they are attacking the people of God.
Now when I walk with Christ I know I need Him because He is love and I desire to express this
love to others. When I see need, my heart opens and wish to meet it, to bring healing and hope,
to lift up the broken hearted and offer a future with Jesus and His ways.
Notice the difference, and our calling in Christ.
