Do we have a choice?

If Jesus is not the start and finish of any post, then Paul would be concerned.

Our boast is in the name of Jesus Christ.

The alpha and the omega of our entire life.

Ephesians 2:17-19
So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled to all the fullness of God.

Our goal as Christians is to overflow with the love of Jesus Christ.

That's it.

Well, the thing is, I don’t know how to prove it. It doesn’t really matter anyway, I guess.

Staff member @Oncefallen is online now-why don't you report me-this is your opportunity.
JOHANN.

Isn't that being rather dishonest to make a claim as though it's the absolute truth and then admit you cannot prove it?

This is nothing but gossip which is sinful behavior!

Why not instead say you suspect something and also say you have no way of proving it.

you are going to hear a whole lot more of Spurgeon's "fake" gospel-no offense.

Johann has falsely accused me of a number of things, while he plagiarizes other people's material,
and then demanded I apologize to him after I let him know that plagiarism is against the rules.
Apparently he doesn't care for the site rules, or basic decency.

Love our brother Paul-

Some food for thought and to chew the cud fellow Pilgrim. One thing I have learned is that I am never too old to learn.
Johann.

No, I don't sit under false teachers so no splurgin with Spurgeon for me!

All 5 points of calvinism are heresy, which sadly makes you a heretic

I sure hope you repent because heresy is on the Lord's list of those that do these things shall not inherit the kingdom.

sister I’m sorry you guys are having a dispute I really wasn’t a part of it and wasn’t following it . I know that false
accusations and lies always fade away on the light of the truth but we don’t want to get dragged into the fray

Yes we can always learn and grow I agree

But here, on this Forum, the slang word "heretic" is used frequently-directed at Calvin, Spurgeon and all the Reformers and at me,
I am a follower of our Lord Christ Jesus, same as you dear friend, yet I adhere to the teachings of the Reformers and the Bible.

Ever considered that you may be a heretic? A play actor?
