Actually I am still waiting on Hebrews 10:26 :D

But you are saying Paul disagreed with Jesus?
I'm saying YOU disagree with Jesus.

Every time you say something, you're disagreeing with HIM, not me.

As far as Hebrews, it really was between me and Dcon.
Kind of loses it's Whole purpose with Stone, since she post A LOT of scripture the way she's supposed to.
Dcon never does, or VERY RARELY. So, I'm starting to wonder if he really understands it.

I KNOW Stone does.
But I guess it'll get done.

Gossip: rumor or report of an intimate nature

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gossip

I did not know we were talking about things of an intimate nature. I'll tell if you will?

Jesus demands? ....here is one...is this the one you mean?


Matthew 5:48
[SUP]48 [/SUP]Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Be honest UG.
Gossip is something women do all the time.
It could be about anything...
It has to do with spreading mean talk,
unpleasant happenings to or about people.
It is NOT only INTIMATE.

Are you trying to tell me that you could say anything about me,
and as long as it's not intimate you won't be gossiping?

You're too much.

As I was pondering my thoughts this morning I was thinking about Jesus carrying the cross. Crown of thorns on his head, the beating he had taken before.

I remember watching Jesus of Nazerath on TV.
When it came to the cruxifixtion it was like "Ow that hurts"

Like a splinter in the finger.

When I came to realise it was six inch thick nails driven into his body whilst blood dripped down his bruised beaten face that horrified me.

I used to think that it horrified Jesus.

I myself think that the physical for Jesus was not the problem.
When he said "If possible please let this cup pass me by" I don't think it was the physical beating and cruel death that was about to happen. He knew it was going to happen.

To me what anguished Jesus more was separation from the Father.

He and the Father were together from the beginning and for a short period of time they would not be.
That would have Jesus and the Father so much. The sky went black and they couldn't be together.

How painful?

God with Adam "Adam where are you?

Jesus with God, "Where are you?
I agree, imagine, all of the sin of all of the world for all time being laid upon Him in one instant. And when we talk of sin, think of the unimaginable and multiply that by the unimaginable.

The separation and the loneliness and the full weight of that is truly unfathomable, and when I think of that moment, it makes me realize that the magnitude of our sin, shows us the magnificence of our Savior.
What compares to that?

Just following the dictionary. I always considered gossip behind someone's back, but maybe not.

Well I am glad you agree with Stones because she actually referenced my post.

So we are in agreement then. Salvation cannot be lost. Excellent!!!
:)

This is good.
But do you love HIM?

"if you love Me, you will keep My commandments".
John 14:15
My guess is he does and therefore he love him back.

How that works out is between him and God.

JESUS is giving the provision, not me.

And, I'm not judging his soul.
Just asing if He loves Jesus back since those that do like to keep Jesus'
commandments and I hear on this thread that this is not necessary.

I know all the rules Bill.

Let's see what he has to say for himself.
I also have Stone defending Dcon.
How many do I have to fight just to make simple statements??

I can be mean, but am not always!

BillG called me out a while back, because I stepped across the line. I remember it fondly. I considered that a prompting from a true brother, and I fully understood where it came from. From the heart of a man who has seen much, lost much, but truly understands he has gained everything!

I don't take correction from mean too well.

Or maybe they do understand and have a nefarious mission, aka 1037 pages of denying simplistic gospel genius.
Amen and the bible is clear....be not removed form the simplicity that is found in Christ....

It pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe<-----exactly why most miss it....it is too simple to just believe and be saved....MEN MUST interject self, works, law keeping, church membership, sinless perfectionism, immersion, back flipping down the isle and every other café blend religious inept(ism)

i wasn't defending Dcon. You posted the request for anybody to step up to the plate. I stepped up.

What simple statement are are you trying to make to him? Who knows, I might agree with you. Not that it really matters who I agree with. Only matters that God agrees.

I am so thankful that my God loves me.
AMEN....and he also said...NOTHING shall separate you from the love and he will finish that good work he began in you.....the beginner and finisher of our FAITH....I trust Jesus to keep his word....and I for sure do not need to help him do his work in me....He that believes on the Son IS HAVING everlasting life....NOT temporal life!

One thing that always amazes me....those who devalue the inspired words of Jesus through PAUL as if they do not have equal weight and or more influence seeing how Jesus was born, lived and died under the LAW which ratified the NEW Covenant which PAUL covers.....

Full expect the deniers of almost half of the N.T. to come out now......

He looks like a rock star.
but can he sing, and if he can sing, why is he trying to sing at humans , if the deaf,can only hear silence. then there logic is speculation. we will get back to sat in space , an other time.

This can be confusing to Christians. I fault the churches for lack of teaching.

haha..its tough to change the minds of those entrenched in their religious beliefs, (although mine certainly was) I hope that an unsaved person seeking will see the Love of God in some of what we say!!
