Do we have a choice?

[Johann]

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.

Don't forget the Cross-Jesus crucified -Him resurrected, since the Deity of our Lord Messiah is under attack-worldwide. No need to preach a Cross-less Mashiach, now is there?

[Johann]

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.

Have you reported me as you threatened to, for letting you know that
plagiarism, which you are definitely guilty of, is against the site rules?

I wonder how many articles and other people's work you have plagiarized.

Quite a lot, I would guess.

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

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.

Yeah. I suspect it but can’t prove it.

 

[Stan_the_Man]

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

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.

 

[Pilgrimshope]

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.

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

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.

Yes we can always learn and grow I agree

How sure are you you're doctrines are 100% correct?

I understand completely... I was just letting you know that Johann is bearing false witness about me,
and it is not the first time, either. And then he demands an apology from me! Too funny, really.
Funny as in the peculiar sort... So very odd to have someone repeatedly lie to you and about
you and then demand an apology from you.

 

[Johann]

Yes we can always learn and grow I agree

I have great respect for the elderly folk, bend over, walking slowly but when you greet them the Shekhinah glory is beaming from their faces-always smiling and never ashamed to admit they are still learning-sweet heavenly bliss!
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?
