Do not address me....you are divisive, false, self righteous and too be honest mlst of what you say is false, misleading, deceptive and makes me want to spew......and for the record...you saying -->I KNOW GOD is not only hilariously tragic, but rather nauseating!
You have lost all credibility....serious!
and we're done....!

I do not know if it is pride, being blind, being obstinate or just ignorance.....I stand amazed how people will not just embrace the truth in context using simple faith and spiritually motivated acceptance......The bible can say....the sky is blue and religionists will argue that blue doea. it mean blue, but must only mean green!
One of the biggest problems...PEOPLE peddling another man's view....instead of just letting the bible speak where is speaks and keeping their mouths shut when it lays silent!

Most overlook that it was the HOLY SPIRIT that drove Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted in All points as we are tempted....We read about the 3 at the end of the 40 days, but often fail to recognize that the 40 days before the 3 we read about....Jesus was put through the gauntlet by the devil....we can only surmise as to what these tests were....but ALL POINTS means ALL points......yet he was without SIN....
The part that really gave me confidence in Jesus as one who can empathize with my weaknesses ....is the fact that by EMPTYING himself of that heavenly Glory, coming as a man in the form of SINFUL FLESH and refusing to use his equality with God as God to HIS ADVANTAGE to overcome sin proves to me that GOD in flesh really wanted to feel and empathize with man's plight and fall!

It really is hard to grasp how God who is so Holy and righteous and wise .... can be so merciful and giving and faithful to us who could never earn His love....
Not only overcoming in life even when faced with the very things that cause us to need a Savior... but also paying the price for where we have failed.....
He gives us freely and is so amazing He can even use people like us to function as the body of Christ
...to turn His loving gift into that of a payment or reward....
it is a shame

You will never KNOW. We who are mature, WILL PROTECT THEM FROM WOLVES. The is the responsibility of Mature Sheep to guard them from false Doctrine. In my Experience, I have found the WOLVES, always go after the Baby Christians. So with the Lord's help, We will be on guard to protect the Babies.

I fully understand what you are saying.....here is my 2 cents worth......
In my view, it is a very bold statement to say...I KNOW GOD in the manner she so boldly claims.....I.E. in an attempt to prove here heretical stance.....I have been studying/reading the bible etc. for upwards of 45 years....Intently studying for 33 years and I would not be arrogant enough to boldly say I KNOW GOD.....and at the end of the day it is not about us claiming to knkw GOD.....MANY will stand before Him claiming to know Him and even calling Him LORD.....yet he will say....
I never knew you.
Yes, we have the word of God which is the mind of Christ and we can LEARN of GOD.....but to claim we, with finite minds can KNOW the INFINITE ...Look at this verse, it sums up what I am trying to say.
"Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it." ... "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!"

Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Rom 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Rom 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Rom 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
God Bless...

This is what those who believe we can lose our Salvation does not understand why we can become so irate , but in a right way , because truth be known , it makes our blood boil to think they add to the cross , when Jesus gave His all for us , I mean even before He went to the cross , the mockery , the taunting , rippen His beard , the spitting , the whipping , the hatred of people , the evil wickedness put on Him before He even got to the cross , it is heartbreaking to see them adding...
Yet more will come , and more will go , may the LORD our God open their eyes , for we are only promised today...

Hi!
There is a difference from reading and studying.....
People read the book and think they have it all sown up, ususally in error.
Then you have those who study, years, wanting a deeper relationship, studying Truth, conforming to the image of His Son.
Like the Bereans ....
You will know these by their fruit.....
God Bless!!
