The Holy Spirit proceeds from God the Father and from Jesus and will lead you to all truth!
I love Evmur! Don’t call our brother’s post “ignorant”!!!
Sorry, whether you love him or not, his posts and knowledge of Scripture are ignorant. And, it's okay that you still love Evmur.

I do still love Evmur and I forgive you! :love:(y)

I seem to recall Paul saying in Romans 2 something about judging others and realizing that we do the SAME THING….:unsure:


Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
Romans 2:1 - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage?search=Romans 2:1&version=KJV

I’m thinking it is best not to pass judgment on others…it’s so much more fun to just simply LOVE them and let God do the correction, if need be.

I constantly have to remind myself that we come from all walks of life... So, as Christians, if we can't all cling to that one thing that binds us all together and laugh about the rest... we're probably doing something wrong. And... it's probably an alpha male thing lol:p

…and that ONE THING is that Jesus loves us and we love Him and each other, amen! :love:(y)

Yeah', yeah'... Show off!:cool:
Hey, I’m not showing off…..I’m SHINING HIS LIGHT! …and so are you! Lol! :cool: :love::love::love::love::giggle:(y)

Isn’t it so much fun to just love each other and not be judgmental or critical?!

True, there are boundary lines where we get pretty adamant about scripture BUT, we never stop loving, amen! (y)

I don't come here to argue... So, I think you've taken me the wrong way.
If you you come here because you are so perfect that it is only to expose your perfection to the world, I have news for you. You are not perfect. This site is for discussing differences of understanding so we can work together for understanding. That is arguing.

"I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH , AND THE LIFE no man comes to the Father but by Me. “ JESUS A.K.A . THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. Think about it . I mean really . Created my soul and saved it and I am the worst of the worst. View attachment 234184
This is truly how a Christian lives, a Christian lives with Christ as the way, the truth and the life. You cannot choose to follow sin, and the law defines sin, and follow Christ. The law leads us to Christ for salvation, and the law guides our walk as we walk with Christ as a saved person.

We have free will, and God doesn't like to "babysit"!
It takes two to agree, and where any two agree in Jesus' name, the Spirit is there!
THE TRUE CHURCH ONLY TAKES TWO! :)

Now @Blik with 6 months left on planet Earth…now is a good time to lay all that judgmental critical stuff aside and FOCUS ON LOVING OTHERS, especially those of the household of faith, amen!

It’s time to “finish strong”!!! Full of LOVE!!!

LOVE fulfills the Law. We need to be careful that our flesh doesn’t rise up in self-righteousness and go around condemning everyone…much better to choose LOVE. :love:(y)

@Blik - you say a lot about the law but where is LOVE?

How strange! When I say I believe following Christ is to follow in His footsteps it is counted as critical stuff! I wonder what the judgments of me would be if I posted that I believe in following sin? Would you guys say I am judging you if I posted that?

I'll soon meet the Lord face to face, the Lord knows how I am judged. I feel sure his judgments are not as the world judges. I wonder what will happen? Wish I could tell you all what this journey I'm about to make is like! I feel healthy and fine, maybe the doctors are wrong!

Sounds to me like you're just "saturated" with this place, and should probably be focusing more on yourself.

Are you afraid the Doctors are right?

I am 96 and enjoying myself, but really of no use to anyone any more. Living with the Lord sounds like a wonderful life. I paint, and there is a painting I'd like to do first. Certainly, I am not afraid. I watched my father when he died, and there were angels to help him. I trust the Lord to take care of it completely.

1- The Christian Bible is not a religion.
2- Come as you are, all are equally welcome.
3- Your dues have already been paid.
4- Peace beyond understanding is your reward.

So...., WHAT IS IT?
It is fundamentally new life, life that comes out of death, life that even innocent Adam never received and life that is found only in, through and from Christ.
