Everybody is lost "but not Studyman" who knows the true path. Yes Studyman the Church, the "Body of Christ", needs "Overseer's", to guard over its members and to protect them from "false teachers", like you.
Turn back Studyman to the God you once new, your self concocted religion will not save a flea, turn back.
Acts20:28-31
28) Keep watch over yourselves and the entire flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which He purchased with His own blood. 29) I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. 30) Even from your own number, men will rise up and distort the truth to draw away disciples after them. 31) Therefore be alert and remember that for 'three years' I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.

Hi BillG, I respect your thoughts and everyone is thankful that Disciple Dave is being honest about his identity. There are past members that come back who are less than honest about their identity.
It is also a good thing to talk to Disciple Dave about what caused his unfortunate ban (which you are already doing), so that the same thing does not happen, good on you bro. Restoration and reconciliation is at the heart of the gospel and I pray God will be honored in all that we say or do. If I can help in some way please let me know.
God bless

Restoration and reconciliation is at the heart of the Gospel.
Amen Brother.
It's the gospel of Jesus that reconciles us to the Father.
2 Corinthians 5:16-20
16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.

There is a time from what I understand that we need to shake the dust off our feet and walk away.
As most of you who know me, I find that difficult.
Not that I'm a romantic but because I knew what I was, where I was at.
Yet many wrote me off.
Yes I went MIA, Yes I believed in false doctrine which caused me to go MIA.
I knew what I was but now know who I am.
It took 28 years.
But hey I'm here.

Yes, they were saved. The Bible says all who were there were believers. As I've said many times, God does chastise His children, even to the point of taking them home, but they can never be lost.
At the moment of conversion, one is saved forever. Even if they walk away later. They couldn't go to hell if they tried. If salvation is truly a gift, and grace actually unmerited, this has to be so.

It seems like even lieing to the Holy Spirit is allowed in your OSAS group.
Here's what the bible says;
...But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and ALL LIARS—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” Revelation 21:8
You have just exposed the true colors of OSAS believers and I see those who agreed with you.
...Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient.Ephesians 5:6
...And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. Romans 13:11
God sees your heart and you cannot mock God. Galatians 6:7-10

And your point is?
Maybe if you are banned why not go to a forum where you can all cosy up and agree rather than tear others apart.
Or maybe stay here and discuss.
What is your purpose here.
Yes I agree that it's the same here.
Your man made doctrine is false so is ours.
One day you will find out so will I.
Then Jesus will judge.
Let's leave that up to him.
In this temporal life let's seek to be like him.

"Tear others apart? Whose doing that? (see Jude 1:4 &17-19)
"Discuss"? How can there be a good discussion if they will resort to name callings and insults and accusations and rejection and gossips rather than edification?
Sorry BillG but I don't intend to stay here that long but I still hope that God will be exalted and His LOVE and Mercy will endure forever. May the BODY OF CHRIST be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature,attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. (Ephesians 4:11-13)
...Let God be true, and every man a liar. As it is written: “So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge.” Romans 3:4

Openly calling the moderators liars, saying they will burn in hell and openly threatening to yank his 20 a month donation is not very biblical at all.....just being here under a new name is breaking the rules and lest we forget this guy claimed to be a prophet and said that Jesus would reference him by his CC name in the day of judgment to level punishment and judgement against all of us!!
He should not be coddled!

Several have tried to assist him to some truths, but he will have none of it.
He claims created angels are eternal beings, then compares them to Christ as if Christ were created. If anything is created it is not an eternal being.
The only eternal being is the triune Godhead. Of course this means that at no time did he come into existence, nor will he ever cease to exist, nor was he at anytime created.
DD says he teaches Christ is eternal, then right after this says he was created. Forest? Trees?
