If you can’t say the person in the story question both may have been saved or may not ever been saved, I don’t know what to tell you.

The fact that people took issue with reveals that they are afraid to ask questions. If you don’t ask questions, youre in a rut

Sigh.
A leading question is one where the questioner already has the answer in mind and is bringing the respondent to that answer.

You have many people here who know as much and oftrn more than you on doctrine so ......
to place yourself in the position of teacher with leading questions to some of those people in my eyes was not wise.

Can we just drop this now. Signing off.

leading questions as defined by you are used CONSTANTLY here. All the time.

Scroll up and down and count the leading questions

Yes we can drop it. It would have been dropped days ago if people had not obsessed about it. I have been merely replying to an endless barrage of Gibbs Gibbs Gibbs gabb blah blah blah

Well intent is a hard thing to prove in a court of law....but nonetheless it still has merit.

No, Accusations are not Kosher, and neither are evil suspicions. It is how you phrase your words, that cause the rub.

Mature attitude brings kind words, and careful thought in how to Phrase your posts, without causing unnecessary conflict.

1 Timothy 6:11-12 (NIV)
11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.
12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.


There is your weakness, so strengthen that first.

I am tempted to go back and read the entire exchange....only tempted though:)

But let me say one thing in all seriousness @OneOfHis

I really think a "binkie" is a sacred object that should not be so carelessly thrown about!!!!

American liberals should never leave home without their binkies.

That is not what I mean. Gods grace is so precious, we need to guard it with our life, and not go seeking this world's pleasures, for fear of grieving the Holy Spirit.

Also, you NEED to learn Discernment, as I perceive very little of it, coming from you. Now, do not get your hackles up, I am only trying to help. You seem to have fallen for one off the devil's favorite tricks to trip up Christians. That is to get you to focus on:

1 Timothy 6:4-5 (NIV)
. . . evil suspicions
5 and constant friction . . .

I have a suggestion, you learn to earnestly PRAY for all members on the board, especially OneOfHis; and soon you will find it is impossible to be upset with the People you earnestly Pray For.

No. It is impossible to tango alone. I just have a lot of people that want to tango

That is argue

I have mainly been on the defensive answering accusations

you said I am argumentative. It takes two to tangle. And you and One of His has always taken the lead. So that makes you the argumentative ones

Oh and testing spirits is not suspicion. It is commanded. 1 John. And I sensed things from what people were posting. I wanted to address it. Bad me.

And leading questions are always used by many people here.

And Eleventh thinks she can read hearts/ intentions

Can’t let things go when people keep repeating accusations. How is it the fault of the one who is answering accusations?

Maybe they did the same to the other guy
