Stone, there is a serious disconnect between what you think you say and what you really say. You are, in short, fooling yourself.

You say you don’t accuse me and then go on to accuse me of giving a negative twist to the scripture, siding with the serpent, and maybe more.

Now I’m amazed to hear that you actually think when Jesus said not everyone who says “Lord lord” he is not talking about Heaven but something else. Can you please elaborate on that? What context do you think be means? Please stop falsely accusing me of taking stuff out of context without providing what you think the context is.

Let me ask you, do think loving God is a commandment OSAS believers have to obey to enter the Kingdom of Heaven?
Dot

its not an accusation for me to say that you put negative twists on scripture. It’s the truth and you’ve done this all the years I’ve known you.

As far as trying anymore to get you to understand this? If the Lord hasn’t, then who am I to think I can.

It’s why I said, it’s all I’ve got.

faretheewell.

not leaving the thread though. 🔥

Are you accusing me of being a false teacher?

I haven’t taught anyone on this thread....mostly all I have spoke about is my testimony.?
I see this more of a argument type thread than educated and edifying rather than uplifting in spirit and further I can see the maturity of these Christians or they call themselves Christians of which I like to mention in order that in May Spike a revaluation of their spirits that they may succumb into the mind of Christ to make his crucifixion and his blood of value in us . Because every time that we step away from the mind and Spirit of God we are traveling God's blood and in doing so causing dishonor to ourselves and the thing is to prepare for the coming age that you escaped the wrath of God through the obedience to God you must be born again..

For the gift of the Gospel is about edifying not about endless debates which takes us away from the mind of Christ therefore we are to rebuke such things and put them in the subjection that are obedient is of Christ and none other

And you also know that my knowledge of scripture is limited...I have already explained that I have concentration problems...and that God has only just brought me a friend to help me.


I have answered your question.

Now please answer mine.

How does God save a mentally challenged person?
The same way He saves anyone JR. By grace through FAITH.

Grace: the divine influence upon the heart with its reflection in the life, including gratitude.

My youngest son asked Jesus to save him at the age of three after hearing my other two ask.

Jesus will have a part some way somehow; even with those who have never heard, yet He appears to them, speaks to them in their mind, and they ask who are you?

As you have said, His ways are diverse....but He makes Himself known.

Hi jackrosie,

You mentioned that you only had limited knowledge of Scripture but remember "deep calls to deep" and that "it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose."

God can enable you to understand beyond human understanding. You will be fine.

Now I don't come here often no more like I used to simply because I spend my time studying the Gospel to show myself a proof like 2nd Timothy I used to be into a lot of debates over different subjects like rapture pre rapture you know is Elijah's feet red or blue but after a while even did a lot of debates with other denominations over doctrinal issues and they're imposed theology and what I find most edifying is learning God's truth because when you learn the gospel and it's true form God's word will defend itself and there is no debating all that is left is to be edified I found this true simply by opening my Bible and reading everyday and most of all because of the the gift of discernment give it to me by the holy ghost to rightly divide the word of God meaning to interpret the word of God
propperly . So I suggest to go and get together with a good pastor that knows his stuff not assume theology but biblical theology in its truest form what's realistic fundamentals and values

Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.


Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;


Eph 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;


Eph 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be In able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.


Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:


Eph 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;


Eph 6:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

I was called to a teaching yesterday while I was posting and heard a warning about something that’s to come. A food shortage that is based on a lie but is a method to control.

It’s time to let go of elementary things and go on to maturity, Become the army of God on earth moving in unity with the head,

Thx jackrosie,

This may be getting a little off-topic but as one who has served in Christian ministry I feel you may have a call to ministry on your life. I will pray for you.

Theology is the study of God's Word and I encourage you to take the time to read some.

Names such as: Millard J. Erickson, Bruce Milne and J.I. Packer are all highly regarded theologians amongst all Protestant denominations.

Ah, but you think you’re heaven bound even if you act it out in full wrong towards others. Nothing loss for the true OSAS believer. Just sad, not grievous.
Ah, but you must think you are perfect. Your a typical pharisee, pumping your chest of how great you are,

just Remember, the sinner went home justified. The proud law keeper went home still condemned.

either way, thanks for proving once again you are a legalist her to set us osas people straight and not here to lean anything.

Can you only repeat the OSAS doctrine?
Can you only repeat the NOSAS doctrine?

this is what happens when your doctrine fails, you lead to strawman arguments, because you have no meat left

Debating with OsAS believers over years has afforded me the unpleasant opportunity of seeing the characteristic results of embracing that license to behave as one feels all the while assured of Heaven. Lately I see it here as well.
Here we go once again

she thinks it’s a debate, not a discussion.

game point!

anyone who thinks she is here to honestly discuss and learn is decieved

Hi @jackrosie ...
A little leaven spreads through the whole lump...

Galatians 5:9

This refers to false teachers...
Amen

and thus lies the problem

on e she proved she was not here to learn but set OSAS believers straight, she became A person to call out and point her own errors
