Did Jesus Die on The Cross for The Just/Elect/Saved Whose Names Are Written in The Book of Life OR

Oh, I know. According to everyone, everyone has failed. You all thrive on pointing out each others sour flavors, you miss their flavors of sweetness.

Sour, bitter, angry people.

I wonder though, should we Rebuke someone online if that might lead to a perma ban?

The other issue is this is just a debate board. Meant to debate. I actually pray for everyone here. Before I go to bed I click [Christian Forums] and it shows me a list of people online or was online and I say a prayer for them every day/night pending where one is at in the world time zone wise. So even though I debate what I clearly see as purposeful mistranslation or outright lies in a manner as I would talking to someone trying to deceive me. I pray for them to be Blessed, have good health, be prosperous.

Will get to that later. And you are in for quite a shock.

I pray because I am in a relationship to God. My prayer could include Praising Him, Worshiping Him, discussing a goal in mind and which direction to go as an Advisor, what should I preach this sermon, or talking to God as a friend, someone to glean from, someone to comfort me, to know I am in pain, for others [including their salvation, needs, Blessing, health]. From driving to walking the dogs, to walking my property, to cooking, to sitting and relaxing I am continually talking to God in my mind.

When I read the comments about prayer or it being a command I am like there's someone void of Relationship with God.

Thank you for your prayers.

I want you to be Healthy, have your needs met, even be Blessed beyond measure. But most of all, I desire that your personal Walk in God is greatest Experience of all things you do in life

You believe God's commands to pray are void.

Thank you.

I think the command is so eventually it becomes second nature. But to say it is a command makes me think it should be something happening more than you would talk to any human on earth. It should a lifeline. Not a command I must be doing.

Prayer is a Biblical command.

The same way Michael, the Mightiest of Angels spoke to him/them.

Jude 1:8-11 NLT - "In the same way, these people--who claim authority from their dreams--live immoral lives, defy authority, and scoff at supernatural beings. But even Michael, one of the mightiest of the angels, did not dare accuse the devil of blasphemy, but simply said, "The Lord rebuke you!" (This took place when Michael was arguing with the devil about Moses' body.) But these people scoff at things they do not understand. Like unthinking animals, they do whatever their instincts tell them, and so they bring about their own destruction. What sorrow awaits them! For they follow in the footsteps of Cain, who killed his brother. Like Balaam, they deceive people for money. And like Korah, they perish in their rebellion."

I give up on the hatred that thrives within this forum.

You believe God's commands to pray are void.

You mean like the low view of a Creator making man with a will and an ability to choose and making that work with His decrees and sovereignty?

Really? You really think you're the quintessential lightning rod, heh?

Paul said he speaks in tongues more than anyone. Did he say he does that because it is a command or because he is in a Relationship with God?
