Yep. That is what happened. God as my witness.
Wow! That's quite a
coincidence!
I know you osas people love to play these games about how and when your resisters post, and it's got to stop.
It's not a game and postings (time and date of each post) are listed in everyone's profile. Not hard to figure out.
You don't know about our lives, and it's none of your business anyway. You are all way to arrogant looking down your noses from your ivory towers of your (supposed) superior knowledge. Stop judging and meddling in people's internet lives. Time to grow up!
Your anger and bitterness is becoming more and more obvious. You sound like you are having a meltdown.
You, like so many people in the church seem so utterly ignorant of the right the Bible gives to believers to decide who we will consider to be a believer and who we will not. You call it 'judging', in every negative sense of the word. But the Bible says it's what you're supposed to do. You people know a lot about your osas doctrines and how to make the Bible support it but you know little about anything else. This is one example. Most of you have blinders on and can't see anything else in the Bible besides your sacred osas doctrine. You are babies. But you think you are grown up and knowledgeable and wise.
You consistently paint believers in the OSAS camp with a broad brush of either being babes in Christ or not believers at all. Have you ever met a OSAS believer that you considered to be grown up and knowledgeable and wise by your standards? You seem to believe that ONLY those in the NOSAS camp are capable of being grown up and knowledgeable and wise.
From my experience, many people in the NOSAS camp are quick to judge OSAS believers as promoting a license to sin and seem to view themselves as "holier than thou." Also, 'ALL' false religions and cults (who teach salvation by works) strongly oppose OSAS, which has always been a
red flag for me! I grew up in the Roman Catholic church and for years listened to Catholic priests constantly attack OSAS and make fun of Protestants and accuse them of lacking in knowledge, yet these Catholic priests were clueless to the fact they were promoting a false gospel of works salvation. So pardon me if I don't seriously consider any form of rebuke from someone in the NOSAS camp.
But don't try to take away my right to decide who I'm going to consider a real brother and who I won't. Right now, I don't know about you.
If I was NOSAS then you would most likely consider me to be a real brother. It amazes me to see over the years on various Christian forums how people in the NOSAS camp are quick to join hands and sing 'kumbaya' together in unity over NOSAS, even if certain members in the group that they are holding hands with attend a false religion or cult and teach a false gospel.
At best you seem to only have the 'water' part of 'water and of the Spirit' (John 3:5) down (and that is where most of the church is at).
Either we are born of BOTH water AND Spirit or else we are not. Believers do not merely have one or the other. Where do you come up with this stuff?
Though I used to have a higher opinion of you. But your participation in our discussions gradually eroded until I could not consider you much better than the other poorly behaved participants in this thread.
I used to consider you to be more patient and sincere, but now your angry, bitter true colors are really showing and it's disturbing! What happened to you?
Your biggest problem is your pride, your arrogance. This does seem to be the one defining characteristic of the osas believer.
You need to take a long hard look in the mirror.
You are really bad people most of the time. You hate and murder over doctrines. And you have little to no clue as to what the Christian life is really all about. You are still sucking on the (sour) milk of your erroneous doctrine of osas salvation and know nothing about the meat of the word and the discerning between evil behavior and good that you should be growing up into:
"For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses excised to discern both good and evil." - Hebrews 5:13-14
Bad people most of the time? Hate and murder over doctrines? You are over the top! Apparently to you the Christian life seems to be all about NOSAS and attacking people in the OSAS camp. Losing salvation is mainly all you talk about.
Most of you osas people show by your behavior that you are still babies in Christ.....or not really saved at all.
Where does that leave most NOSAS people? It doesn't concern you in the least that ALL false religions and cults promote NOSAS?
But don't try to take away my right to decide who I'm going to consider a real brother and who I won't. Right now, I don't know about you.
You seem to only consider those in the NOSAS camp as most likely being real brothers and sisters in Christ and EVERYONE in the OSAS camp in your eyes as being either babes in Christ or not saved at all. Your NOSAS bias is making your decisions for you.
At best you seem to only have the 'water' part of 'water and of the Spirit' (John 3:5) down (and that is where most of the church is at).
We are either born of water AND the Spirit or else we are not. It's not just one or the other. You talk about pride and arrogance characterizing OSAS believers, yet just listen to yourself!
You people do not know the depth of wickedness that you dwell in. And your osas doctrine keeps you from seeing it.
You are still a baby in Christ. Or, you're not even saved to begin with. Which one is it?
See, while you're busy learning all about and teaching your osas dogma I'm busy learning and teaching all about knowing and living for Christ. You take false comfort out of your so-called knowledge. You think correct doctrine means you know Christ. You are in serious error.
