I offer truth and grace...they are locked together
you cannot have one without the other. For if they will not come to the truth
there will be no grace.
It is not your job to restrict grace as God has forgiven you so should you to others. Which means truth in love. Salted but not drenched in salt.

To say rarely do people respond in a nice way is alarming. My mentor and I was at waffle house Friday evening talking about scripture and the two waitresses overheard. They were not believers but had a world of trouble. We didn't shy away from truth but it was seasoned in love, grace, and understanding. They both were moved greatly and one even wanted us to pray for her.

See you use Paul as your example.

I use Jesus as my example.

Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat,
or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.
Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

John 4:32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

John 4:34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
So Paul's Words are not of the 66 books of the Bible?

Is the Bible the inspired Word of God?

I do not follow anyone but Jesus. I do not care what Paul did or said he is not even on earth.
I have all I need in word or deed in the name of Jesus.

Paul is not an example of anything to me.

Jesus is it all to me. Jesus is my example.
Then you exclude parts of God's Word. I know now why I can not follow your reasoning. I read and learn from all 66 books.

It would be easier for you just to say "I do not believe you" than to ask me all this vain questions.
I will accept it for I know it already.
I ask just like Jesus asked good questions to show the error.

Wow. Thank you for loving them as you did, instead of shaming them. I am proud to know you. This is how we are to reach those who do not know the Love of Christ . . . we show them love, not shame and guilt.

Let the Love and Gentleness of Christ flow from our hearts, not to those who already have it, but to those who we think do not.

It is not your job to tell me how to do anything of the Lord. And until you repent from ALL your sins you are not connected to God.
God does not accept any sin from anyone...that includes you and I.

JESUS IS THE WORD...IF IT DOES NOT LINE UP WITH THE WORDS OF JESUS
IT IS NOT THE WORD.

It was definitely God's doing as we had not meant to go to that one. We were supposed to go to another one but my mentor got the location mixed up.

So which verses in Paul's writings contradict Jesus?

Are we to share God's Word or not? I shared and now you say I shouldn't tell you.

Jesus died once for the sins of all mankind past, present and future. Upon belief we are forgiven and now Jesus as our mediator has opened the way into the most Holy of place. A relationship with God the Father. We are sanctified, seen as righteous and justified. There is no longer any condemnation for those who in Christ Jesus.

Your opinion of me is not God's word. And unless you live it sharing it is in vain.

Which verses of Paul is the WORD?
All is the inspired Word of God. The 66 books are the Holy inspired Words of God. Inspired as God guidance and Spirit led every individual to pen the Words we now read as the Bible.

This has been agreed upon almost immediately after Jesus's death except possibly the book of James which was agreed on later.

So I am curious again. What do you do with James, the book of Hebrews, John's letters and Revelation, Peter and Jude?

If I share scripture then it is God's Word. But so far we seem to have a understanding that Paul's letters over half of the NT are not God's Word.

I do agree though actions speak louder than words.

In your bible it is written my sheep know my voice and another they will not follow.
So why do you need an bible at all? Is it because Jesus does not talk to you?
If Jesus talks to you, can you not ask Him anything you like from your heart
and get an answer from Him?
