I had a thought. Many people claim Jesus never said He was God, but He did.

Equally some claim they do not say you are saved despite obvious sin and rebellion
except this is what they do believe.

The ethic says it is unfortunate but true. To our way of thinking this is a licence to sin
because sin is not seen as important, while in scripture it is everything, why Jesus died,
to set us free.

But to the blind, they are saved, so no regrets. It is salvation with no reality power or witness.

My sons Facebook was hacked too. Lots of this is happening. Someone did it to me a few years ago and sent porn pictures to my people. Most are pastors and families. They knew I was hacked.

The devil is on a rampage. Hates the truth.

If I confess "my" sins, and He cleanses me of all unrighteousness...why can't I say I have no sin?
You argue against yourself.

NO, you are spiritually Rightous in HIS SIGHT because of what HE DID, BUT BECAUSE OF ADAM, you still a sin nature, that will cause you to sin again and again, in the future, therefore it is absolutely NECESSARY that your lifestyle be characterized as one who Confesses every new sin one discovers in your life. That requires you to do an in depth study of what all GOD considers sin. I am willing to say it has been YEARS since you studied anything about sin, and YOU TOTALLY STOPPED MOURNING OVER YOUR SINS TOO. You even acted like you had NO IDEA that there are Sins of OMISSION as well as Sins of Comission.

James 4:17 (NIV)
[SUP]17 [/SUP] Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins. {Give to the poor; if a neighbor is in the hospital, go mow his lawn without being asked; Visit the sick and elderly; give food to the hungry and do not make it something small, make it at least one of the following; etc.}




Psalm 51:17 (ESV)
[SUP]17 [/SUP] The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. {Mourning over your sinfulness.}

Matthew 5:4 (ASV)
[SUP]4 [/SUP] Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. {That verse has more to do with mourning over your sinfulness, than mourning the loss of a loved one.}

Yeah....it is a bad deal......and obvious that one who's 1st post was designed to make me look bad....it took me months to get a reply from twitter and same thing happened to me on FACEBOOK as well....I was taking about chocolate covered expresso beans and calling them magic beans and how good they would "light you up" and got accused by some really righteous "Christians" of doing drugs......funny how some will sin in the process of trying to devalue and or make one look bad....

There are so many proofs that JESUS is God......that one would literally have to be somewhat blind to not believe it......the only concession is that JESUS emptied himself of glory and took upon him the form of a servant made in the likeness of sinful flesh....

Funny thing, I got hacked response. It is not that difficult to see a trend over months.
What light do we need to see to know were the heart is?

It does make a farce of where people stand. The unfortunate reality of far right groups
who love guns, and are happy to shoot their mouths off fits. It does not take a genius to
see they would last no time here if their true nature came out, lol.

This is an accusation PJ. Without innocence. The other poster didn't know even though posting that publically was wrong too.

I have reported this inappropriate, profanity laced post.

What a way to make your entrance on a Christian chat forum.

Perhaps you could re-think your strategy. It needs work :)

All those who do not and have not yet trusted in and believed the Gospel, that what Christ has done is enough, that we are saved by grace and through faith, come mocking just like those in Paul's day.

We see it on here, from those who have not believed the message of the gospel and haven't entered into rest, slandering the message of complete salvation by faith and not of works.

They mock the message just as other unbelievers did in Paul's day: "Let's do evil then that grace may abound!" Romans 3:8.

This is how they treat the gospel which they misunderstand and do not believe. Those who believe are slandered by these saying we love sin, live in sin, make an excuse for sin. Exactly as they did to Paul, these do the same today toward believers, falsely accusing them of preaching "Let's do evil that grace may abound!"

And this is the conclusion; they have not believed in the gospel message at all, and they do not understand it whatsoever, and therefore they mock its truth and believers along with it.

You do know Paul wrote both
Yes of course.
He wrote these as well,

Romans 3:21-22
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

Romans 9:31-32
But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 32Wherefore?Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

Philippians 3:9
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

Hebrews 7:19

For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
