Matt 12:43When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.44Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ On its return, it finds the house vacant, swept clean and put in order. 45Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there; and the final plight of that man is worse than the first. So will it be with this wicked generation.”

John 5:14
Afterward, Jesus found the man at the temple and said to him, "See, you have been made well. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you."
I’m not understanding the correlation with our previous correspondence.

FOR @pottersclay that DENIED the truth of what UNIFIES...

pottersclay said:
Truth does not unifiy God's people.

The bible states....

I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.

So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

AND if you think there is no absolute truth in the bible (evidenced by your Pilate comment) you have a lot to get straight and right in your head pal.

This can not be shared enough

24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

The requirement

1. Hear and believe (faith)

The result

1. Shall not come to judgment (great white throne)
2. Passed from death to life

3. HAS (not may have) ETERNAL life.
There is a reason we are called to NOT BE REMOVED from the SIMPLICITY found in CHRIST..........and the evidence is seen in the confusion sowed by ALL that corrupt the gospel.......

Actually Truth is profoundly unifying.

And Truth is knowable >>>> that was Pilate's faulty reasoning and mistake.
When I read that drivel in that post......I was not only sickened, but angered and the compete ignorance of that statement that LEADS astray......!!!

Because he states that salvation is a process and not done until the end.....of course this view makes the bible contradict itself, makes God, Jesus, Paul, John and others into liars, denies Greek verb tense, context, the inspired word of God....but hey....it makes good slaves to religion......
In post #230 you wrote, religion that binds. Jesus has come to give us liberty, freedom and eternal life, and yet religion binds people. I yearn for people who endure such oppression. I pray such folks embrace what Jesus freely gives us.

Look the Greek word up for religion.......it binds men's hands behind their back and like JESUS said....makes them two fold the children of hell

Upon second reading... I think he meant truth and its affect on "non saved" people maybe?

Exactly. That’s why so many people refuse to come to the Lord, because they’ve been poisoned by religion rather than blessed with Gospel Truth. I’m not referring to anyone on this site, but rather the masses.

No offence, but if you believe that....I suggest you get on your knees, get right and then start studying.....it is TRUTH that UNIFIES believers.......and TWO cannot walk together unless agreed!!

and here is a hard question for all the love love love people

if you all love so much, why put those who offend you on ignore?

why call names and be rude and say you know things about them, that you actually have no clue about but when that's all you got, that's all you got...nothing like an ad hominum attack when truth AND love fail you

the hypocrisy from some here who want to sing 'all you need is love' is telling. it tells us that they need something else a whole lot more than love cause it ain't working

make a bad stink in the room, ask who did it, then flounce off with your nose in the air

very convincing :rolleyes:

I think we'd all do well to consider this here in the BDF. Lots of opinions, but the way we tear each others hearts out in these discussions and the things that are said to a brother/sister in Christ here shows the real intent is to be right. If you believe what you believe so passionately (on either side) why are we all so angry?!Wouldn't you just say "I'll pray for you brother/sister, that God would reveal to you what he has to me". But no, we get this, the BDF and every time I come here I make a new enemy and I'm sorry I came. smh What a crying shame.

They think we hate them (I guess I do not like her because she is a woman!!) and thats why we have apposing views.

It has nothing to do with how we see the bible. Its all about them,, I think that about explains it.

true

and that's something that cannot be overcome unless the person who evidences that type of behavior, admits it and turns away from it

but having dealt more times than I care to admit with these personality types, it is rare

churches are full of them

they will confront the pastor cause he ain't doing it right, criticize the worship and spread gossip in the form of 'we need to pray for...., and various other types of behavior that divide and sometimes kill the faith of young Christians

drama

let's have less of it :giggle:

Sadly, from what I have experienced, many churches teach their people to be this way.

Not one person here doesn't believe they are sharing the truth. And yet none of us is in fellowship with the other. That ought to bother us. We all read the same Bible and pray to the same God (mostly) and yet we cannot speak to one another without screaming and we have no fellowship,nil. I'm wondering why anyone would come in here and think "ya, that's what I'd like to do this weekend, go spend my Sunday with these people". smh

well they teach it by either ignoring it or listening to it

having been in the middle of the behind the curtains goings on, you sometimes find it hard to believe these people have anything but themselves in mind

I could tell a story about a woman who wormed her way into the position of secretary and then basically took over and ordered people around by saying the pastor told me to tell you...staight spiritual witchcraft

in the end she had a nervous breakdown. pastor asked me take over the morning worship...I was doing evenings, but I passed

he was a new pastor and gullible and was taken advantage of

stories. I gotz lotz of em. sigh
