if one truly belongs to their Saviour, then they shouldn't care ET, this is our job,
and we accept all of the world's darts and arrows with love and gratitude
to The One who has called and chosen and elected us for His Holy purpose...

I doubt the victims or recipients of your sin say they bound in grace the more you sin against them. I’m pretty sure God sees the wrong done to them fairly clearly.

Now see, there you go again with the word VICTIM......and you're flinging out judgment, accusations and condemnation all over the place on this thread.....you're NOT seeking TRUTH, you're seeking some kind of screaming revenge..........something terrible MUST have happened to you by someone claiming to be a Christian........and the thought of that person being forgiven and still going to heaven absolutely infuriates you............:unsure:

DM - If this is true, I'm so sorry for whatever was done to you and hope you can forgive them, even if just for your sake. You're not going to ever be happy or whole again UNLESS you forgive them for the evil that they did to you. It's the only rope of hope that can pull you out of the anger and bitterness pit you seem to be in.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Something is terribly wrong with DorothyMae, I do ask You to heal her broken heart, mind, thought patterns and emotions....it sounds like her heart is in pieces with so many sharp edges.....she needs You Father....there's nothing any of us can do for her. We just keep retaliating......Help, Father......we forgive her meanness.....and ask You to intervene and fix her, in the Name of Jesus Christ, we pray, amen. :love:(y)

No, I don't agree...ADAM WAS PERFECT and GOOD when he was created. Without The sin nature but STILL could choose, did so and SINNED...JESUS was the 2nd ADAM with the SAME ABILITY...you can forget it...you will not convince me Jesus could not sin....the scriptures, when added = he had the ability as a MAN, THE SECOND ADAM to sin but DID NOT and your use of him being GOD falls flat on it's face in light of him EMPTYING himself, becoming a MAN in the likeness of Sinful flesh and NOT USING HIS EQUALITY WITH GOD to his advantage to overcome.....so....might as well move on to someone else or just accept the truth I just gave you man.

Jesus said God alone is good, and though God saw the work of His hands (creation) as good, we are perfected only in Christ.

God = so many names and manifestations, that most will never see or comprehend the miracles
that He reveals right before our faces: and yet, it is obvious that He does, for sure, manifest His Holiiness
to those that He has chosen, called, and elected!
how else could these' KNOW and LOVE His Holy presence and bow down to Him in obedience???
and continue to live their lives in serving and sharing their Spiritual Love for Him in their daily' walk???

God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

If you wait until you feel like obeying the teachings of Christ you are likely not to do so often... only when his will and your will happen to be the same.

The other day you were chirping about people who embrace eternal security as being focused on feelings rather than obedience. Now you’re saying our feelings are few and far between. So which is it, are we focused on feelings or are our feelings few and far between?

No you aren’t being rude....you are making an assumption...which is fine....

Again I believe I was led here for a reason.......i was a nightmare on this thread...but most have been patient with me...I am quite happy listening to dcontroversal teachings and until God decides otherwise...I will listen to him and others.

You seem to forget that God resides in my spirit..he is my protector over all...

Amen...keep swinging....and see how my words from last night ring true.....!!
