See what. Mean, you just basically repeated what I sad, all I said is without salvation, there is no spiritual growth,

Thats what what I mean about people not trying to see what others are just saying and just assuming they know

plus, you just hurt your position, if god will finish the good work of spiritual growth, how could you ever fall away? You could not because God said he will complete that good work,

you can. It stop him, nor would you want to. Even if you could,

Bro....like I said much love and respect, but you are simply circling back to your level of understanding....and to others, it might seem you are contradicting yourself....

Spiritual growth after salvation strongly suggests... salvation :eek:
its not that simple...mag...I see where you are going...and agree to a degree...there are places outside the chat board here that do not believe spiritual growth is even needed....

Etheridge (no special reason)


Heb 2:2 For if the word which was uttered by angels was confirmed, and every one who heard it, and transgressed against it, received a just retribution,[A retribution in righteousness.]


Heb 2:3 how shall we escape if we despise those (words) which themselves are our salvation? those [namely] which began by our Lord to be spoken, and by them who from him heard them in us were confirmed,


Heb 2:4 when Aloha witnessed concerning them by signs, and by miracles, and by various powers, and by distributed gifts [Distributions, or dividings.] of the Spirit of Holiness, that were bestowed according to his will.
The Founder of Salvation
Heb 2:5 FOR it was not to the angels he subjected the world which is future,[Olmo dathid, - Heb. Olam habo.] of which we discourse.


Heb 2:6 But, as the scripture testifieth and saith, What is man, that thou rememberedst him, and the Son of man, that thou didst visit him?


Heb 2:7 Thou didst humble him (to be) less than the angels; glory and honour hast thou placed upon his head, and hast empowered him over the work of thy hands, and every thing hast thou put in subjection under his feet.


Heb 2:8 [Now] in this, that he subjected every thing to him, he hath left nothing which he hath not subjected. Yet hitherto we see not that every thing is subjected to him.


Heb 2:9 But him who was humbled to be less than the angels, we see to be JESHU himself, for the sake of the passion of his death; and glory and honour set upon his head; for He Aloha,[Hu ger Aloho.] in his grace, for every man hath tasted death!


Heb 2:10 For it was proper to him by whose hand are all, and on account of whom all are, (and who) would lead many sons to his glory, that the Prince [Or, Head.] of their salvation by sufferings should be perfected.


Heb 2:11 For he who sanctified, and they who are sanctified, are all from one: wherefore he has not been ashamed to call them his brethren.


Heb 2:12 (As) when he saith, I will announce thy name unto my brethren, and in the midst of the church I will praise thee.

I don't know why Etheridge uses Aloha for God. It is from the Aramaic so it could be because of this.

Hi Inspector Clueso :cool:...No need to be sorry:)...If the new sees is Fran, then you can bet she is laughing at everyone because the thread is once now on her and not on Jesus...If it is her, then God will show us all, we wait upon the Lord who will show all things in His timing without us assuming, if nots Fran then let Laureen be Lareen lol, we all have similar traits but different personalities...xox...
I do believe we are in the time of the house of God judgement. And truth is rapidly coming to light. It is His work. :) So this will be revealed if need be.

There is really nothing to apologize for, Rosemary, for you did not say "all" either, I just felt it incumbent upon me to mention that is was not "all." Some people will take a statement like that and read "all" into it and then blame you as if you had said "all," when they could have just as easily read "some" in instead :)

If I type in a guest, the threads come up they posted in.. not their individual posts. I don't know if that helps. I took a screenshot but I haven't time to upload.. I'm horrible with that part..
Yes, I said that I tried that, and it did not work for me, and someone else tried too, and it did not work for them either. I entered the name and hit enter and nothing came up for guests, after selecting a number of options from the search type, and even choosing all. Banned people come up no problem. Is there something else that needs to be done? I just tried again now, and again no luck.

Part of being a son is doing what our Father is doing.

Jesus explains this principle here:

John 8:39 They answered him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would be doing the works Abraham did,

Meggido, talking about similarities is not spreading rumors.

If she's not "Fran" then OK.. but it does look that way..

The old seven doesn't fit. Compared anyone can see that. It's hard to hide style and habit

So are you saying that repentance is mere mental assent and a one time event? Is changing your mind renewing your mind?
repentance is a process, not a one time event....
I agree it's a continual process. The Kingdom is following the King.

Those who are sons are lead by the Spirit.

Being lead by the Spirit is a continual process of repentance. We are turning, turning, turning, toward God and He is revealing, revealing, revealing who we are in Him.

Thank you for trying :) That is pretty much what I was told before, and even had a screenie provided, and yet when I look using the same method, I get no results, so I wonder if I am doing something wrong or missed a step, though I do as instructed. Are you not able to post pic files from your computer? Not that I am asking you to, just wondering if that is an issue for you as it is for many others here, even those who used to be able to.

I don't know how to so I get confused. I'm not familiar because I don't get on with photos of any sort.

I can assure you she is not....not stop speculating and starting rumors...All of you...
I don't think she is either.
I have known Fran for a good few years now.
She is actually a gentle person who likes to talk and also have fun

I have walked and talked with her for a while and so has AllenW & Phart.
I have to say that Fran & I did not agree fully doctrinally but we agreed to disagree but both of us had the same goal, to keep encouraging all to seek Jesus and become more like him.

The night she got banned I could see her posts and what she was posting was not the Fran I had got to know.
She was very upset, not with disagreements as such but how she was disagreed with.

She genuinely felt that people were saying that she was going to hell and this hurt her because she does love Jesus.

Alas she fell foul and started to respond to those that she felt were attacking her and her salvation in the same way, maybe out of hurt or maybe to prove a point. You say this off me because of what I believe therefore the same applies to you.

As for me I consider Fran a sister in Christ and I also say the same for Stephen.

I say the same for all here on this thread.
We all have different journeys, wanting to become Jesus, be the person he has asked us to be.
We will get it right we will get it wrong. What's wrong will be burned up.

Our Father sees the heart and if it's one that seeks after him and that heart he will not reject

Well that's funny because I thought she reminded me of Lauren but I didn't say anything. :)

listen

stones has a thing about me

she has called me by various members names and accused me of being a banned member who came back

I showed her some time ago I was never banned..and not any member she thought I was

and here she is again, for some reason she has a bug in her bonnet and thinks she is doing a great service to the forum
to talk about me

I was sevenseas...I am now 2seasrekeyed ... I wanted sevenseas 2.0 but someone apparently already has that name although I have never seen them

so you can see how how someone could be mistaken for someone else just by a name

the great sleuths among us, in this thread thought I was FranC who has been banned

I believe it is against the TOS to have this type of conversation

two people just today said I reminded them of Fran right in this thread.

seems some have nothing to do but mind others' business

do you actually suppose the mods don't know who is who?

I'll apologise.

What I said still has me wondering why your writing style changed..

Not that you owe me an answer. I'm just backing my curiosity
