Not everyone is into American conspiracy theorists.

What about judge Judy? Does someone have to know her too, or be labelled left wing?

Haha prolly the wrong name ;)

A tare, in my opinion, would be one who denies/blasphemes Christ, God, the Bible, and so on. Someone who promotes evil freely.

Along those lines. :)

One doesn’t have to go to the level you give to be a tare. ❤️

Unless you KNOW this person to be a previously banned member you should not be accusing.

PennEd is accurate in saying that people should not be accusing other users of being formerly banned users (even if you know it to be true). Persons who are suspected of being former banned users should be reported and nothing else.

In this case Duskey was correct about InHisImage being a banned user, just wrong about which one and he had been re-banned prior to me seeing the accusatory post.

I hold Jesus to be the absolute Truth. If you do not? You are an enemy of God. Is that my opinion? It is what the Bible explicitly states. I posted the verse and asked you about it, though you went off on a tangent about opinions. If you do not believe the Bible, and what Jesus says about Himself, why would you call yourself a Christian? "You" in the general sense...

Yes Jesus is the absolute truth. As long as you are a Christian, you would hold that view.

But as I have said to another here, it does not then follow that "My view of what Jesus said and meant are also the absolute truth".

Are we allowed to know which one? No possible useful reason other than curiosity. LOL

Oh, I had a heck of a time finding that judge's name. It is Judge Jeanine Pirro :geek:

In context of your earlier post I knew darn well you couldn't have meant Judge Judy since she leans heavily to the left (she endorsed Bernie early on in the primaries).

Interesting point you made there. I can imagine two types of Jews on the Passover night in Egypt.

Some put their trust in the lamb blood, and just relax and enjoy the night, confident that it is sufficient.

Other Jews are more paranoid and try to help the blood with their works, praying, fasting, singing non stop to God.

In the end both houses first born are still saved because, as the main dominant view of this particular thread goes, the blood at their doorpost was sufficient.

That is how I view this never ending argument about faith alone or faith and works for salvation. 🤗

It wasn’t just the Jews that I had in mind.

Through all the time on this thread with so many naysayers, those that pushed salvation can be lost, never have I seen so many

dislikes and red x's thrown out by one single person.

Sad really.

@Oncefallen, I believe it’s just a matter of time before you ban me for more than one reason, but none more so than my forthright persona.

I say lovingly and respectfully that I understand, and yet for the sake of integrity, please don’t lose sight of certain antagonistic CC members poking the hornet’s nest. Godspeed. 😎
