Not By Works

[FranC]

You are awfully defensive. You come across as not liking to hear others opinions while you give yours freely, saying we should not judge while you judge wrongly, and not in a pleasant way at all. Perhaps you need to work on that

I have a list of character traits you could work on.
But if you won't listen to God, who can help you?

 

[Stephen63]

1 John 2
​

3By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 5but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: 6the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.

I do believe scripture say liars have their part in the Lake of Fire.

2 major words here:

WE, indicating christians.

IF, indicating we have a choice.

 

[FranC]

Thats why I gave up,

she states she she was attacked, and it may be true all I Know is all she has done since I have known her is attack anyone who believes in OSAS,

as my parents used say, if you can't recieve it don't give it out, it, otherwise your just a hypocrite.

Honey
You'll get back More than you could give me!

And osas is not biblical.
I trust you'll find out when your time comes.

 

[FranC]

All is well because we can contend and learn.. but never condemn.. Truth comes in different ways but the same form.

I'm not as nice as you are...

 

[FranC]

No, this is not to you. To Phart.

You asked me the same silly question.
You know only how to ask silly questions?

Of course.
You can't even tell if someone is saved or not.

Spirit knows spirit.
Understand?

 

[FranC]

we can can only learn if we open our hearts, if our hearts are closed, like many are, we will never learn anything.

What have You learned lately?
Is your heart open?
You have much to learn,,,why not start today?

 

[FranC]

True,

I heard a sermon once many years ago, and at the time I really had no understanding of it meant, but now it clicks, not sure if you would agree but...

In the sermon he stated, that the true hypocrite, in the covenant of grace, is the one who does not live in the liberty of Jesus

James tells us about the the law of liberty ( James 2:12,) .

Only in Jesus are we truly set free to do.

You must not be free in Jesus then
Because you're not doing...and proud of it to boot!

 

[FranC]

Sad but true, and also attacking those whose theology she does not even know.

It has been going on for months and months.

I know your theology...
The theology of hatred.
You grieve the holy spirit daily and often.
And you're too old to learn anything new.

God could still work in you, maybe, but I fear your heart is too hard.

 

[FranC]

yep patience is helpful to understanding what is said,as for "nit picking" I'll leave that to people who enjoy doing as such,I get what you mean but "correction" isn't "nit picking" "nit picking" is willful trying to upset someone by pointing out every little mistake thereby being a nuisance,I respond to posts when someone either doesn't understand something or they over rule understanding to be,"insulting" which results in noone learning anything,apologies if you interpret such things as "nit picking" when I post in correction.

WHO needs correcting here?

Who has the authority to correct anyone?
No One.

Especially not those on this thread.
They do not have the moral standing to correct anyone!

 

[FranC]

Sadly it is the whole group of them, that's why I am thankful a few finally got me to use that ignore button, is was an ongoing battle that no one could win, Was time to show who really had the issue, looks like nothing has changed.

i have had a few email me to say she is still attacking, but I refuse to open up a word she says, nothing God can come from it.

Catch that typo!!!!
God does work in mysterious ways.

 

[FranC]

It is for the other to apologize, since you did nothing wrong

Another example of your Christian love.
What weird church taught you?

You probably don't even go to church.
Dcon is your church.
And who can blame you?
He's sooooo cute!

 

[FranC]

I agree, the Holy Spirit can only lead into to truth if we allow the veil to be pulled down

In retrospect I know now when I was absolutely convinced of something by the flesh and what was given to me and confirmed by the Holy Spirit and there are other areas where I need to study and be open.

But never the Gospel

Pull the veil down.

 

[FranC]

there has been tims I was absolutely convinced of something, and was sure the Holy Spirit confirmed it, only to later find out it was not true,

We should never be to proud to think everything we think to be true is true, when we get to that point, God s no longer able to teach us, and we may miss out on real truths,

See. This is why you're supposed to go to a church and let IT teach you.
It works really well.

Jesus planned it like this.

Sure.... that sums me up according to you and your friends.. enjoy yourself my dear...

Luke 6:28

28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

Romans 12:17-21

17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Not tonight sweetie.

 

[stonesoffire]

Haahaaa..... I like that.

You can only tell on them if they're wrong, you know.

You may have a point there. Will have to think on it a bit more.

 

[Meggido]

Pull the veil down.

The veil has to be torn and removed.....the ultimate veil that has to be torn is our flesh....

grace aloners do not like talking about total surrender though....they have enough time worrying about not doing ANYTHING for God, becuase that might make others think they are working for their salvation

 

[FranC]

well I was more of using an ethic of paul,as he did when writing to churches,apologizing for offending,but not for telling what was true,it's the same concept,a concept I like practicing.

Someone here knows biblical concepts.
God bless you!

 

[FranC]

Yes, I think that is what I am also saying, sometimes pride, sometimes fear, there can be a myriad of reasons we cling to a belief

The more we agree with what God about our union with God the more He reveals His truth.

How long before you get the truth?
It sure is taking a loooooong time.

 

[loveme1]

God loves you and He knows His children.
Leave this thread. And be blessed by His love for you.

I am of good Spirit and mind not.. by His Strength we stand.
