Who said you did Kathy?
Why do you make everything about YOU? I quoted RED, and then you came in here saying YOU dont need to fear GOD. If you don't need to fear GOD thats fine. thats between YOU and HIM. I quoted RED..
you know....
i don't take any pleasure in straightening out what people SAY THEY SAID AND DIDN'T SAY.
but, so i'm not mirespresented, and your position is clear...let's see what was said.
How can you begin to walk in the spirit zoneif you do not fear GOD? Hmm? MAKE SURE you ARE his elect. becasue HIS elect stay in HIM untill the END no matter what happens. its FEAR and reverence to the one who can do as he wishes to you. He is for those who obey him Zone. if you do then thats wonderul .SOem do not. so to say a blank statement like "we need wisdom" is false. and you know it so i don't even know what your arguing about...
1) post is to ZONE
2) zone assumes post is to ZONE
3) RIGHT?
ZONE ASKS, WHERE DID I SAY "WE NEED WISDOM", ROB?
id red said something about it, I DIDN'T READ IT.
i'm not bothering with the LEXICON which tells us Fear of God is a reverential fear, as in AWE.
the LOST dread God. i did.
the saved REVERE HIM IN AWE. i do.
if you want to live in fear, if you have come to Mt Sinai, great.
i have not.
i have come to the throne of Grace, with a great company of saints who REVERE OUR GOD and rejoice saying Glory to You Our God who has HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS redeemed us.
so easy to say ZONE DOESN'T FEAR GOD...like zone thinks God is DEAD.
we just get SLOPPY AND LAZY AND CARELESS with what the bible says about Him.
we make up new terms, we rework words that have MEANING in the original languages.
we have NO RIGHT TO DO IT.
it's all about our performance. all about US.
WE are....we are pleasing Him. by OUR OBEDIENCE.
you DID NOT, i repeat, you DID NOT love the Lord thy God with all your heart mind and soul TODAY, and neither did you love your neighbour as yourself. not as He requires.
if you think you did,
YOU DO NOT KNOW JESUS CHRIST AT ALL.
Love you. But that doesnt mean im not going to post what the LORD puts on my heart..
i love you too.
and i'm going to post what THE LORD HAS SAID IN HIS WORD. not some subjective thing i think He has spoken "to my heart".
Fear of the LORD-->Wisdom-->Obedience/LOVE-->denial/death to SELF-->HIS Righteousness, through you. .
that's nice.
exegete that as a string of soterilogical doctrines from the word please.
re-read EPHESIANS 2.
WE will over come by HIS blood, and the word of OUR testimony. HE tests us, then in the testing we are humbled, and we resist temptaion, then HE shows us what we learened by that, and then WE have a
TEST-imony. No unity unless we have wisdom, which is true, about what RED said, but WISDOM can NOT come unless we have FEAR, and FEAR comes from being BROKEN.
well, i guess your experience is different from mine.
i fell on that Stone and was broken.
THEN I WAS HEALED.
i shall rejoice in my salvation.
i will not live in a never-land of arminianism and pietism.
i am A SINNER SAVED BY GRACE.
