Claiming people "hate" someone is a tactic that is used by people to shut down opposition to a view differing to the person attacking with this tactic.

It belies low self esteem about the position the attacker is trying to defend. Similar to calling someone a racist for saying ANYTHING negative about Islam.

I realize that there are some who have yet to fully embrace the one true Gospel unto Salvation. That God wrapped Himself in human flesh, in the form of Jesus Christ. He was born of a virgin woman, conceived by the Holy Spirit, suffered, was crucified, died, and God raised Him from the grave on the 3rd day, according to the Scriptures.

Confess Jesus as Lord, believe He rose from the dead and you WILL be saved. We CANNOT ADD ANYTHING to that Gospel for our Salvation. To do so is an insult to god.

Now there is PLENTY we should do after we are saved and filled by the Holy Spirit, but none of that has anything to do with our Salvation.

So some who have yet to have the Holy Spirit reveal the beauty and simplicity of this Gospel need for us to have patience and love even when they use tactics such as saying disagreement equates to hatred.
And believe Jesus died for our sins....

Just came back to this thread was learning about Calvinism.

Wonder why folks are all tense?

Here in Mark 10:17-23 is Jesus speaking the law of Moses to the Jewish man asking Him "What must "I do" to inherit eternal life?"

The law of Moses is all about "doing".

Jesus said to "keep the commandments in the law of Moses." The guy said he had. Jesus then said - go and sell all that you have and follow Me. He went away sad.

He had actually broken the very 1st commandment as he had money as his true "god".

The law of Moses is all about "doing" in order to receive from God which is what all works-based/ works-righteousness belief systems are build off of.

The gospel of the grace of God in Christ is "Believe - it is finished."

Now when someone comes to you and says "What must I do to inherit eternal life?" Do you say "Keep the law of Moses?" No, we now know the true gospel is. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved".

Here is an example of rightly dividing the words of Jesus in context with the Old Covenant and the New Covenant we live in now and so we boldly preach the New Covenant of the grace of God for it is the word of His grace that builds us up and gives us our inheritance that is in Christ. Acts. 20:32.

Thank you for the opportunity to preach Christ again and His wondrous grace to all of us....Bless you...:)

the 10 commanments are absolutely valid, in the new testament, they arent the law of Moses they were written by Gods finger on the tablets and placed in the ark, you dont even get what the law is. its the book that moses wrote and then was placed beside the ark as a witness against the hebrews, the 10 commandments were ind=side the ark. paul also validates them in scripture, thats another Huge error you think the 1o commandments no longer apply....they do.

romans 13:9-10 "For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is BREIFLY COMPREHENDED in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the FULFILLING of the law."


the word Love summarizes the 10 commandments, if you love you dont kill, you dont lie, you dont steal, you dont commit adultery , you have only 1 God ect....


So then by your logic paul must have been a law teacher as well?? or maybe John was wrong also in 1 john ch 5 about Love and the commandments???


the Law is the book of the Law, it was removed from Christians because it testifies against sinners. the commandments do not there moral guide for Love so find a diffrent example because the 10 commandments are in the ark and valid still.....

Yes. My post about THE Gospel deals with the CURE for the penalty of the sins we commit, but you're right, I should have said the reason we need the Gospel in the 1st place.

As I said you don't really know me. Let's leave it at that
I don't really know you either, but I still think your awesome.

Reading back through the thread and wanted to remind you that some of us read and agree with your posts. We get what your saying and count you as a beloved brother in Christ.

Don't let others get under your skin. You look like you are starting to get frustrated.

The 10 commandments are definitely the Law of Moses. Paul told us that.

Well....unless "coveting got kicked out of the 10" - because it was caught "coveting"...:). ( just having some joyful fun - joy is a fruit of the kingdom of God in us! )

Romans 7:7 (NASB)
[SUP]7 [/SUP] What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, "YOU SHALL NOT COVET."

Wait. Is he the Jason from a couple of yrs ago? Wasn't he one of the sinless perfection heresy guys? Or is he a different Jason?

I have had him on ignore almost from his start, so that would make sense.
Are banned people permitted to come back under a different name, or after a set amount of time?
You are thinking of a different Jason as far as I know, though this one has come and gone under different user names, creating conflict and then becoming a guest and creating a new account, but he always gets found out because of what he teaches, and the way he talks to people... now I am not saying he necessarily tries to hide who he is, but it sure seems like it, coming and going under a few different user names over the last couple of years. I used to stick up for him when he was under attack from others, because he seemed like a nice guy, but then he started attacking me and repeatedly refused to call me by my name, referring to me as "you guys" as if I were someone who agreed with certain teachings that I do not... it was just one of his sly ways of slandering me and being completely disrespectful while he feigned innocence of any wrong doing.

Folks are so touchy these days and misunderstandings (or blantant lies of what others believe) seems to be the sauce of CC.

Just wanted to insert that before someone jumped down your throat with it.

Thank you precious sister for your words and encouragement.

Yes you are right I am getting frustrated (and I don't think those I am trying to dialogue with know why) I know I shouldn't be. Thank you for that reminder.

Time me to chill out

See, here he is slandering me again. Your name shows as a guest which means your account was deleted by admin NOT YOU. I do know how the system works, I did not say you were banned, you are the liar here. Where are your scruples? Non existent, I see :)

Oh, I dunno, he constantly calls me names when he does not even know what I believe, he does it because he is a liar, and a deceiver, and teaches a false gospel, that is what I know.

But he does not like being called on his heresy, so he slanders you when you point his heresy out to him, that has been his modus operandi all along.

I don't even remember why I originally put him on ignore.

If it's true he doesn't believe Jesus is God that would have done it!

man your right about that, no excuse but this has been an issue for close to a year or so. the gospel is not just the death and resurrection IF we believe Jesus words about HIS Gospel see look



Mark 1:1 "The beginning of the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD"


Mark 1:14-15 "Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, And saying, THE TIME IS FULFILLED, and THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND: REPENT ye, and BELIEVE THE GOSPEL" <<<


Matthew 4:16-17 "The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.From that time Jesus began to PREACH, and to say, REPENT: for the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND."


Matthew 4:23 "And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people."


Matthew 9:35 "And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people."


Luke 4:18"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to PREACH THE GOSPEL to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to PREACH DELIVERANCE to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised" (ISAIAH 61:1)


john 3: 31-36 "He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony. He that hath received HIS TESTIMONY hath set to his seal that God is true. For he whom God hath sent SPEAKETH THE WORDS OF GOD: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. The Father loveth the Son, and hath GIVEN ALL THINGS INTO HIS HANDS. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that BELIEVETH NOT THE SON shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." ( deuteronomy 18:15-19, acts 3 :22-26)


John 8:23 "And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. "


John 12: 48-50 "He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak."


John 14:6"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: NO MAN cometh unto the Father, but by me."


John 14:15-17 "If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you."


john 14:23-26 "Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."


John 8:31-32 "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you FREE."


John 8:51 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, IF a man keep my saying, he shall never see death."


Becfause i hold to the truth of this and have faith that Jesus is the One to believe first and foremost, How is there any christian who would deny what thier Lord says and have any sort of clear conscience???? if this belief is offensive i dont care to be honest

Haha, I like stomping on eggshells and then smiling sweetly before instigating a water balloon fight, personally.

This thread we do cake instead of water balloons.

But yeah we help each other see the links in our armour and out of love strengthen them.
