But I like the Bible I like to word. Very well I'm a good student which makes a good teacher I've been here a long time but my name is always been the same... I used to go into these little bible debates and they were pretty much endless Summ were over Sabbath day through many of The commandments but through deep study of the word of God and a long time of fasting and praying the words that came clear the interpretation became so evident studying the writing patterns of all the apostles and all the prophets and the very words of Jesus Christ gave me a clear pattern of how to read the Bible it gave me a clear view of the hermeneutics of the Bible to be able to interpret the Bible properly so I just stopped debating over these little matters I stuck to the truth of scriptures and proper interpretation to clearly see now it was all worth it .
Interesting post but.....doesn’t The Holy Spirit actually teach us The Word of God?!

Who is man to think he knows the Mind of God?!!

Understanding The Holy Bible can ONLY be with The Holy Spirit- the only one that can open the scriptures and share with us God’s thoughts.

DorothyMae- It’s time to STOP.

If you will repent for trying to mislead others into works to maintain salvation, God will cleanse you from all unrighteousness.

If not, you will be handed over to Satan for the destruction of your flesh.

Period. End of conversation.


Laffter..what does the destruction of the flesh mean?x

The Holy Spirit "ago-hodos" GOES BEFORE us and Leads and guides us into all truth....HE DOES not speak of HIMSELF, but 100% constantly and consistently points to Jesus.....

In the volume of the book it is written of Christ!

Her soul will be saved but, she will be dealt with by God, not man. God releases Satan and he attacks ONLY her flesh - he cannot harm or touch her soul and spirit- just her flesh - prideful mindsets, judgmental and criticizing and condemning spirit.

When God deals with any of us, our flesh is destroyed which is the part of us that wars against God and His Will for us and His Truth for us.


It becomes open season on our flesh - every little thing - NO MERCY!


We learn humility and love for God, others and ourselves because we learn to love what God made.

We no longer speak against God or any words that hurt Him. We learn to reverence Him. We learn the Truth and submit to It in joyful obedience! :love:(y)

The Holy Spirit reveals Jesus to us.
Jesus would speak and say, “whoever has an ear, HEAR what the Spirit is saying.”

I’m perplexed as to why your post was given a red X. And yet I’m not surprised. That’s one heck of an oxymoron.
I am very perpelexed as well.

And thank you for noticing... it looks strange to me to see a red x on it.

I stated a simple truth not a contentious point.

I feel if I state simple truth and it is red x'd .... then why continue :unsure:

Something I have to seriously consider. But thank you.

faith with out works is dead...biblical..so why does a born again disagree with that.
I’m not calling out the person who disagreed....just don’t understand it...their disagreement?
Faith with out works is speaking against licentiousness.

what happens is legalists turn it to mean we must work to earn salvation

Amen!!

Someone who does not love the truth, cannot love the Source of truth.

God is the God of truth. Truth is freedom.. I have learned this so well over the years.

“The truth of the LORD endures for ever!” (Psalm 117:2). “Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD God of truth” (Psalm 31:5). How can someone who does not like the truth, love the God of truth?

I have undone the Red Cross...

Someone who does not love the truth.....but doesn’t the truth have to be found ?

Satan blinds us from the truth doesn’t he?

Like when we are in darkness?

Everyone should seek the truth?
But not everyone knows what the truth is.

Thank you very hard to see a red x on scripture and where the love of God and truth is exhalted... very hard indeed.

Jesus said when to the effect, when you are the public arena, don’t take for yourself places or names of honor but take the lower humble place. Calling oneself by a very flattering name is not honoring to Him. God can give a man an honoring name but if the man takes one, it is only done in pride with a “I am great”
view of oneself. Paul called himself the “chief of sinners” not something lofty.

The deed is done and cannot be undone but it they said I’m proud with my humble handle, their chosen compliment to themselves deserves a closer look. I’m very sure God doesn’t recognize He is loved when a man praises himself.
Eternally grateful for all god has done and given to me

what a joke. My screen name is in honor to God not self,

you are close to be put on ignore. You have nothing of value to add..

Again bear with me....,are you saying a born again doesn’t bear fruit as soon as they are born again?

For me a born again bears fruit after salvation.....
Does a baby bear fruit?
it may, but it may not right away,
