haha yes he did

but the only fear in the BDF for all the OUTRAGEOUS things some say, is the fear of being banned

but haven't you heard? WORK is a 4 letter word

can't use that word in just about any thread in the BDF or the OSAS crowd will unload on you with a ton of 'if you work you are not saved'

context in which the word is used will not matter

Oh, you so hit the nail on the head. WORK is a four letter word and a word of condemnation for some. Some of us define work differently than others but are still comfortable claiming it. Any work will produce the fruits of the Spirit if it is wrought in God, I think.

I loved you sarcastic lead sentence in your first post "yeah this thread is overdue....I have never been unsure of salvation." Hahaha... I think most in here are strong enough in faith to weather a little brow beating. I think with the right Spirit and some love, the enemy doesn't have a chance around here. 5thumbsup.gif

I like this and agree, but I wonder what is "Carnal Christians" to you? From what I understand carnal in a sorta high word and semantic sense means worldly among those more learned and high intellectuals. More basely it is in the common plebeians' speech if I say a word like carnal to mean sex.

Then I think either way, huh, that least of apostles Paul may have such the keenest insight into who are the Carnal Christians and who are not and how the carnal/earthly mind is developed in fact by sex almost tying it in all perfectly together, praise Jesus for giving Paul both wisdoms and foolishnesses, God is mighty and wise and appoints as his servants the best of Apostles, praise God.

1 Corinthians 7:32-33

32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

Hello @I-Am-Murica, welcome to CC. I hope you'll enjoy your stay here. You should start an intro thread in New Members Forum.

You know what? I was reading your comment and this last line I made bold stuck out. This it true, but it is true of every single man or woman born from Adam. When we are born of the flesh, and 100% of the flesh there is no possible way EVER to "figure out" or learn how to obtain salvation. It's completely beyond our grasp at all, and can only be revealed to Us by direct revelation. God had to tell us otherwise we couldn't ever figure it out.
To me it logically follows, and is backed by scripture, that there is NOTHING we can do to save ourselves. Nothing. This is an another thing that sets God apart from all false gods, and just adds to the greatness of our God, in indescribable ways, and all to His great glory. He is so great and I love Him so much, but only because loved me first and He picked me up. I'm sorry this comment really doesn't address the subject of WHY believers can't agree completely, most likely because of the very fact we are all so different and God draws us all into him in our own custom ways, and uses us in very specifically ways almost like we were molded our whole lives, even and especially before we're saved, for very unique reasons that seem like they were custom made for us. Hmmm. Almost like there's a point to every single thing. Anyway not exactly on point, but thanks for reading my thoughts.

LOL I'm not sure why I capitalized "Us". Oops. :oops:

Well, I guess I read your lead sentence wrong. I read "I have never been sure of salvation" instead of unsure. I guess it wasn't sarcastic after all.

The LOVE forum. That might get people talking. The conversation goes something like this.

What does love mean to you? I think it means God loves me but he hates you. Um wait no. He loves me only if I do something nice for Him. Oh but wait it says here that he loved us while we were yet sinners. So I can still sin? Oh but God hates sin. Yet he loves the sinner. Oh wait a minute how does that work again.
Maybe lets try reading the Bible backwards to see if it makes any sense. I can chuck in a few verses out of context too. That will help sure. Ok God so loved the world...wait he loved the world? But it says here not to love the world friendship with the world is eminity with God. You interrupted me. Sorry. Hey quick question, why do angels have sex with humans? Thats impossible they dont have any xx or xy chromosmes. Hold on are angels gay? Didnt they rescue Lot from sodom? No it was the men tried to rape the angels. Ok now Im confused. Lets go have a dip in the river, nothing like a good water baptism. What water the bible doesnt say anything about getting wet???

Tragic hey....EVEN God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked......

Tragic truth.....the many that get cast embellish faith with works as their right to enter......they claim JESUS as LORD and fully expect to enter based upon all of the wonderful works they have done in his name......

Sounds like most "Christian" religions found today......

Lord, LORD have we not done......................

Only one gospel has power to save.........and when it followed by a plus sign it is voided and has no power!

Yes only one Gospel has the power to save, but it (the Gospel) is a huge stumbling block to those who want to add "self" into the mix.

I have not taken a word you have posted since you first arrived seriously, I certainly see no reason now.

And I am sure Jesus was not laughing when he told this parable.

here's a verse for Murica to meditate

Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. (James 4:9 NKJV)

True ... and some come here to troll, trying to make scripture sound foolish when in reality they are the fools.
