Maybe you should mind your own business if you are not going to stand for the truth....our exchange had nothing to do with that.....I suggest you go back and read the last few exchanges we had and be honest then apologize for butting in and defending one who was being dishonest or be found guilty by association.....!
Seriously, how hard is it to understand that there is no hyper grace? Even my 14 year old niece can understand that.. lol
Funny how little kids can understand this stuff soooo much better than grown adults. Maybe that's because the adults refuse to revert back to the status of having innocent little kid's minds..

Faith saves eternally.....end of story!
On this note, I remember reading members getting angry and wanting to hit something
because of what they were reading. Or others saying what they wanted to write would
get them banned.
Some got so deeply hurt they never want to return. All of this is worrying.
Jesus brought safety through the cross, acceptance and forgiveness, a way of resolving
sin and sinful behaviour.
Now certain contributors, their whole ethic is to annoy and windup others and create
division so the "evil" ones show their hand as they would like to think. The real problem
is, it is they who are behaving after the flesh and not the Spirit.
But my brothers and sisters in Christ, Gods ends will always come about, and the more
we share and understand the word of God the more His gospel will come out, like light
on hill that cannot be hidden, Amen.

dc - Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. You are such a joker.
This language is the language of a bully. Are you threatening me? What are you threatening
me with?
I have zero reason to respect you or the positions you hold, because you have shown what
you are. And I need to avoid you judgement of me????? Do you really think I think you think
anything good about me. Your MO is just invention, distraction and insult. Pointless in the
Lord, but for the enemy, his normal means of business.

It makes sense to my spirit that God should only get the glory for our salvation; if we have to have part in it, then we can steal some of His glory from God. God doesn't allow that. That is why it is so dangerous to think that we are doing the righteousness that leads to our salvation which unfortunately some seem to imply. Do we have a different gospel than them?
Sometimes I find myself falling into that trap of thinking I have to do this and that to be right with God, I have to fight thinking that way. I have witnessed to many people. I ask "why do you think your going to heaven?" and they say, because I treat people the way I want to be treated; I don't smoke or drink and many other such things. That tells me they are lost souls. I explain that is not by works we do but about what Jesus did. It is important that they learn that.
