What I don't understand is, are they egotistical, narcissistic liars, mental defectives, demonic, or all of the above? No one can look in the mirror and think they are perfect without suffering from at least one form of psychological or spiritual impairment.
The phrase "I'm a sinner saved by grace" sickens me, it really disgusts me. Why? Because Jesus suffered & died for us to become the Sons of God, & instead of agreeing with God, they claim sinnership instead of Citizenship.
Paul said "by the grace of God I am what I am". He also said he was "made an apostle by the Lord Jesus Christ".
He DID claim he fell into sin, like we all do..... but we're not "practicing sinners" anymore. It's not our lifestyle any longer.
Now we "press toward the mark", waiting for the calling-up & hauling-up of Jesus, for He alone is able to take us to where He is.
I love & appreciate the Lord..... & to call myself the thing I once was when He came & saved me is like slapping Him in the face when I ought to be on my knees kissing His feet, thanking Him for everything He has done for me.
I have been here over 2 years (this is my 2nd id here)But, yes, there are those who are super-sized gracers and they think they can sin all they want. And I didn't realize there are many who adhere to that false doctrine. I only read a couple of the posts and decided not to jump in.
and I have never seen anyone...ANYONE...say or even HINT at what you state in this forum
care to clairify?
If I said yes as many times as I wanted to while reading your post, my neighbor's would think something unadulterated was taking place in my home.
Yes, Dan, I see understand that as well.
Sometimes it's miscommunication between the two different views. Sometimes when reading the posts, I see that they're both saying the same thing only in a different way. Other times it's definitely totally opposing views.

I'm thinking here right now, how many pages of scripture I'll need to rip out of my bible if I believed that way. I'm thinking there wouldn't be much of the scriptures left. Jesus said if you love me, you'll keep my commandments. It can't get much plainer than that.
But God, in His lovingkindness gave forgiveness to us when we do sin. If we confess and repent, He promises to forgive and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
God is so merciful, full of grace and lovingkindness, and yet He's just, Holy and Righteous as well. Some only focus on the mercy love and grace of God while ignoring that we must live in holiness, righteousness and obedience.
But then, I don't want to begin another thread on all that, so I'll stop there.
absolutely not!
two witnesses...yes?......
thing is, it's true!
