Love manifests itself in other ways than being lovey dovey.

It does not manifest itself in telling people they are going to hell because of doctrinal disagreements (that are fundamental to saving faith) it doesn't character assassination and humiliation and so on.
I don't think I've ever heard phart say any of that...
Me either.

Ok, sorry about the confusion peoples. I think she was dropped on her head too many times as a baby. Brain damage.

Her brother has his own problems. :(

Ipad...computer...thought I better explain a bit better.

OK, everyone, let's take a long hard look at this.

Doing good works he says is part of an antichrist belief. Even doing good works to "live by faith"

Let's swing the pendelem the other way..... what's the other extreme? Salvation by saying I believe in Jesus, & nothing else matters.

So, instead of the usual right/wrong issue, might we want to look at which group is closer to their extreme?

If one side IS wrong, that's no guarantee the other IS right.

Neither is it a guarantee the other side isn't an antichrist system either.
:rolleyes:

I think you missed his intent.
But then, I think he also missed Pharts intent.

With all due respect, I disagree.
I am not densely bright and would appreciate it if you don't put that label on me.
I am instead brightly dense. If you don't believe me, look up the greek. :D
ooh I wanted to say but didn't In case it offended you.

never mind for petes sake, I've stopped doing it for my own sake.:D
The amount of times I have to go back and edit a post to delete the unwelcome post that has decided to tag along is too many to count.
I guess I have been lucky, it changes a lot f my words which I mss until later when I reread it, but too late, but never had another post tag. I guess I am lucky.

I think both are wrong,

doing work is an antchrist event, never heard of this,

but doing nothing is just just as wrong, a true child of God can't do "nothing"

again, that is the difference between the two groups

they think one MUST do work,

We think they WILL do work.

Only one word is changed, but that one word changes the meaning altogether.

Mine does that as well and never figured out why.
i don't know if it has anything to do with 'quote+' next to the reply with quote.

I still don't know what that button is for.
We need Magenta...she knows all this stuff. But, I still don't know what button to push to go back where I was. I know she explained it..but I am dense too. My bulb isn't too bright. lol

I don't think he meant antichrist so much as...anti-Christ or against -Christ. :)
I agree with you concerning the must and the will. And I think Phart would agree on that too. He can speak for himself on that though when he wafts back into the room.
