Paul believed in circumcision of the flesh. That is the works of the law Paul was saying no more.
You should believe the truth.
Saul believed in circumcision of the flesh. The new creation Paul believed in the circumcision of the heart. I'm so sad you do not see the truth.

I enjoy discussion and debating with people who do not have an deceptive motive. But these trolls have taken over any hope of that happening

It is sad,

Circumcision was a sign of a covenant, It signified Gods people (clean) from those outside of Gods family (unclean)

Of course it was only a symbol used to show a biblical truth, it never made anyone clean.
Paul spoke of the circumcision made without the hands of men, The fulfilment of the type of OT circumcision. Where god actualy cleans people and adopts them into his family

Sadly they think they must clean themselves. So literally they are practicing self circumcision. (Spiritually)

The only powerful testimony is one which gives God all the glory through His Son Jesus Christ for the free gift of eternal salvation for those who accept Christ as their Lord and Savior. Free and open to all who would come forth and accept. No works, no twisting of scripture, no confidence in flesh but gratefulness for a merciful and loving God.
There is only one gospel and it is about confessing your sins, repenting of them, having faith that Jesus washed them away, and calling on the Lord.

You would think a serious discussion is happening about some terrible people and not brothers and
sisters in Christ rejoicing in His work in their lives. I think Satan was tacked on along the way.
This is what happens when sins deceitfullness is ignored and peoples hearts are unresolved.
They must need enemies so badly to make sense of their guilt.
God bless you brother, Jesus knows the sacrifice and the cost, because His way is worth it
all.

Amen.....when one claims a special revelation from God.....and states openly he can earn salvation by righteous deeds......they state clearly that they are deceived and void of truth!!
Hi decon down under, let this be common knowledge to everyone who reads the post's of "YourTruthGod", Quote: "God has revealed things to me that most don't know", Did everyone hear this correctly -- God reveals things to him that the rest of us common folks do not know, that's remarkable don't you think!

Know everyone knows why he can say whatever he pleases because God reveals "things" to him, that most do not know. I reckon he views himself as a modern day prophet making up words that he say's only he knows about, as decon say's correctly, "Special Revelation from God."
"God has revealed things to me that most don't know", but there are those who love to be shown the truth.

I never thought of these scriptures as the seal being removed EG. We are filled with His glory so I guess one could say this. Like opening a package? Is this what you mean? Or breaking a sealed envelope?
The sealing by the Holy Spirit is the prepayment of our eternal inheritance....note....we are born again from above by the HOLY SPIRIT and SEALED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT......

I personally think there is big misunderstanding when it comes to the Spirit of God and the believer....

Our Spirit bears withness with the SPIRIT that we are the Sons of God.....we are born again from ABOVE by the HOLY SPIRIT HAVING BEEN BORN OF INCORRUPTIBLE SEED

It does say, if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus dwell in us....but I think many take it too far to the left while disregarding that OUR SPIRIT has been BORN AGAIN.....EMPHASIS UPON OUR SPIRIT.....

Think on that a bit-->OUR SPIRIT and NOT the HOLY SPIRIT........and do not misunderstand my point....it is all GOD and his work

The good news is not, "Hey, Everyone, we don't have to obey God."



Yeah, like a bond servant.


I live through love and by doing that, I happen to obey all those commands.


Why would you stop obeying Jesus?



Keep that relationship going with God.

If someone does lose salvation for something bad, then there are scriptures that say no.
I think it would be hard to lose salvation. God is merciful and patient, and if you are doing wrong He will want you to come back to Him.

God knows if you love that sin are not. If someone does have to go to hell for something, then they can still repent.

You are the one who wouldn't give any kind of additional information or examples.

You should be terrified.
You have lost any and all credibility pal......your ship has sunk by your own words.......

Reading over some posts on this site reminds me of another site that closed down. Trolls, foolishness.
More likely this site will slow down and go back to boring without people with different beliefs than you.

Tells me all I need to know about his deception....combined with we can do righteous works to gain or earn salvation makes him a false deceiver.....

Enemies before they are

It is a strange realisation, but some spot their enemies and then create reasons to hate them,
normally by being so difficult, most give up and just let rip. It is almost a self fulfilling
prophecy. I have seen the same thing happen at work with people with psychological problems.
They know how to be truly annoying to a degree it wears you soul away. And when you finally
let fly, you are told that you are the cause of the problem.

But it is just a play on peoples niceness and pushing things to the limit, while appearing to
be nice, being the exact opposite underneath. Now in Christ we have the true peace of God and
can dwell in prayer and praise, which actually makes us impervious. But until you go there no
one would know. It is how Paul could deal with prisons, jailers, abuse and still rejoice and lift
songs of praise. Because we do live in the heavenlies and our hearts are hidden with Him, Amen.

Of course we will resist tooth and nail your false dogma that is not of God....You are deceived man and your belief will lead you straight to the pit...No one earns salvation and no one has a special revealed revelation or knowledge from God that 100% contradicts the truth.....make no mistake...you are false and what you are selling is false
Jesus' works for us are light and easy and Spirit and life. Looks like you are going to submit.

Nope. Did not ask this at all. And you know it.

You do not get it all Peter.

You seem to think you have the right to determine what people are asking. So you can twist what they say so you can answer how you want.

Thats not the case.

Like I said, give it up. You can never be honest when you are put to the test. You always do this.
He is in the top 5 deceivers I have seen on this site.....for sure!!
