God chastens those he loves when they are disobedient,simple.
Amen! Hebrews 12:6 - For whom the Lord loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives. 7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? 8 But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.

How do you guys answer something?

Is there some code or some other way to put a no brainer simple question?

Good morning bro.

I have posted the scriptures and I believe it answered your questions.

John 7:17-18 If anyone chooses to do God’s will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.

Romans 3:3-4 What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness? Not at all! Let God be true, and every man a liar. As it is written: “So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge.”

Ooh it's morning for you and almost bedtime for me.

Would you please answer my question.

What sins were forgiven on the cross.

I know you posted a verse about sins under the first covenant but what about the new covenant?
When Jesus said it is finished what did he mean?
What sins were forgiven?

Have a good day, may our Father truly bless you today.

all the dodging and soft shoe dancing to simple straight forward verses is telling.

So,we "come alongside"

What exactly does this man DO. Now you have "come alongside", what exactly is his remedy?
As I said I have you my thoughts about coming alongside yet you respond as above.

That's why I asked you the question.

yes sir. Thank you.

Here it is again ;
[FONT=&quot]4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.


There is one living inside. He is the Holy Spirit. He convicts of sin. He does not condone it,make light of it,or tolerate it.

That is NOT a salvation issue. It is a sin issue. It is to be dealt with. Not swept under a doctrine.

When believers sin,they(we) need to deal with it PERIOD.

I suspect noone here ministers to believers in strongholds. You have to be walking in Holiness to help such people.[/FONT]

You must have fell out of the dishonesty tree and hit every limb on the way down....or maybe you do not understand plain English......several answered and even my statement answered...wow!

One thing that amazes me most about those who push works, sinless perfectionism etc. the most is the simple fact that they are the most dishonest people on this site.....what does that really say about their belief system and or religious push....

I am thinking at this point we are pretty much seeing that Holiness in our walk is not a salvation issue,and that waling in Holiness is in no way threatening salvation doctrine as it is two separate entities.

Your false rhetoric does not support your claim to fame.....and let us all guess....you are holy, righteous and all that and a bag of spiritual chips right.....

And that is what I totally agree with and said. I said we need people to come alongside those with strongholds.
Fight the battle with them.
The battle is to break down the stronghold.

You are reframing things.

Separating walking Holy with some aversion to it being a threat to the free gift of grace.

Neither one is dishonest. That is just another aversion. (go after one's integrity).

But hey,it gets likes doesn't it?

I have the holy one living in me.
My ability to quickly repent is my ability to live holy.

The proof is in the pudding and ALL who have eyes can see exactly how you operate and the dishonesty that pours from your statements......you push all this holiness and YET yourself cannot admit your own sinful ways when called on it in a public forum....just like above...several answered and yet you tell JOE no one answered.....tragic indeed
