Not By Works

meanwhile in Sydney Australia, record high temperatures through January. which is Summer down under.



'global warming' doesn't mean there is no more winter. it means the average temperature of the whole earth is greater than what was previously observed, and, accordingly, there are bigger swings in temperature and more energetic storms. people who devote their careers to studying climate aren't idiots, and they actually do know more about this than average-Joe who notices that it still get colds in the winter and decides for himself he's found something they've overlooked.

Jesus is instructing His disciples what to do if any brother goes astray.


Jesus is preparing His disciples to do the work of the ministry when He returns to heaven.


They are given the responsibility of preaching the Gospel and making disciples.


One of the responsibilities included going after wayward brothers who wander away.




“What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish. “Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’ And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.
Matthew 18:12-17


“Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.


But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’



And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church.


But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.

The point is we are to walk as Jesus walked, obeying the Voice of the Lord.


Being led by His Spirit.



For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Romans 8:14

Welcome brother.

We believe the BIBLE is 100% accurate, when it is interpreted correctly, DO YOU ? ? ?


1 John 2:19 (HCSB)
19 They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. However, they went out so that it might be made clear that none of them belongs to us.

thanks.......brother

non - responsive to * MY sheep.

sorry for the earlier mix-up.

my apology.

if you believed the bible is 100% accurate you would apologize to me for being so rude to me and ask me for forgiveness.

no worries....thank you

i believe the bible from where it starts in the front and says "In the beginning God" to all the way to the end where is says "Genuine Leather"

2 Peter 1:20-21 (KJV)
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

i agree with 1john 2:19.............those that dont remain and continue in the faith...........not saved

Well sir,,,
maybe YOU don't tack on the NO MATTER WHAT...
but that's what it means.

So by the definition you can "live like the devil" and still be saved.
Why, one poster (not here) said he could blaspheme the Holy Spirit and STILL be saved !

I'd watch what group I'm put in if I believed as you do...
I don't believe you're OSAS.

Non responsive to my question.


Do the lost need salvation?




JPT

John said he was never born again, he said whoever sins has never seen god or known him

I must go with john.

I am so glad I do not have false teeth....if I did, I would be picking them up off the ground from laughing...HAHAHAH......

That passage says they were never of us, if they were of us they never would have left. They left to show that they were never of us (saved)

It does not say they ever had faith.

Amen.


However, they need to turn back to God before they can be discipled.
