The funny thing is, that PrynceNY fairly constantly misrepresents what is said, falsely accuses as a result of his inability to understand, complains when he is corrected, pretends there is no need for him to be corrected, refuses to admit things that are placed before his very eyes, proclaims lies as truth, and then is offended because he believes he deserves to be respected by the people he keeps dissing The whole thing is as ridiculous as it is laughable. Did you see when he threatened to expose me for something I was neither trying to hide nor ever denied? His attitude is full of deception and denial.
Mag im not going to even begin on your lack of understanding. Have a blessed day.

The law is the gatekeeper, Jesus in love.

A sinner cannot pass but a saint can. Which are you?

Common understanding of communion is that you can do it any time. I do believe that we can break bread with believing faithful followed of Messiah. Whet I have found is when Messiah says as often as you do this do in remembrance of me. Yeshua was speaking of the festival of Passover which is what they where celebrating at the time, as well as unleavened bread. The Catholic Church is to blame for this communion we are most familiar with. Communion reminds me of the cup of wrath many are fooled into drinking. Communion strong NO. Unleavened bread and Passover, YES and celebrate the feast as the unleavened bread and in sencerity and truth.

I guess mockery is one of the things the lord would be pleased with you with... lol
ALL I seen was a general statement....did not seem to be mocking to me....one of the biggest problems with humanity and Christianity---> weak immature people who are easily offended......that need diapers and binkis or bottles

Yes of course you'd support that. Go out in to the world and tell others they don't have the comprehension of a 2 year old and see what the lords response to you is.

He would agree....that is why he made it SIMPLE.........

Stop making false accusations against me.. NOWHERE in my post, which is right here for all to see, so you can't misquote me again, have I said that anyone here has the comprehension of a 2 year old. I SAID some people can't understand a simple concept that a 2 year old WOULD be able to grasp. It's not my fault if a 2 year old has better understanding than an adult. If you're going to quote me, get it accurate next time..

Dcon, I'm sorry for the derail..
No need to apologize.....you are correct and I agree......keep laying it on like vegemite....

It's what he does, M.. Those two other threads prove it. He's just as much as a mocker, as any of us are..

He has a picture of JESUS......makes one more righteous......kind of like my cousin.....wears a cross and lives like the debil Bobby Boucher....but it makes him feel righteous...or so he says....

What is this gatekeeper stuff? From whence does it come young padawan Peter, please explain your cryptic ghostbusteries.

For I have the God, who testified in Galations 2:19-21

19 The Law has no power over me. I am dead to the Law. Now I can live for God. 20 I have been put up on the cross to die with Christ. I no longer live. Christ lives in me. The life I now live in this body, I live by putting my trust in the Son of God. He was the One Who loved me and gave Himself for me. 21 I say that we are not to put aside the loving-favor of God. If we could be made right with God by keeping the Law, then Christ died for nothing.

I have John 14:6. Clearly explains my path, please educate me on this mysterious "blockage" that may be in my way. So I can make amends and bow down to this Law Gatekeeper to make sure I get in.

P.S. I am a saint because God already made that clear to me.

The law is not the gate keeper....it is the schoolmaster which points us to the only solution to out lost state and inability to keep the law....it is called faith into JESUS ad his FINISHED work completely for eternal salvation......anything else is a false gospel with no power to save...ever!

dc - well done you have spotted why you are excluded.

Paul only says the ceremonial aspect of the law, issues relating to Israel and the temple
are no longer relevant. But righteousness and the law of Christ is our benchmark, our lightening
rod, our truth.

It is why Paul says we fulfill Christs law by loving our neighbour. By walking in the spirit we are
not ticking off legal laws, we are loving and meeting needs and in the process fulfilling the law,
so that when we look at the law we say amen, I am doing this.

If you look at the law and say, opps, hate that, no that is wrong, cannot do this, that is terrible,
my heart definately wants this and not that, there are some real issues that need addressing.

The hyper legalists need to lighten up and learn about loving themselves and stopping being self
condemning and running themselves down all the time, but they are a specialist group.

dc - when you talk of a false gospel, if you do not desire to walk righteously, you have it all.

Peter, I don't see where Dcon has ever preached or shared a false gospel... JESUS is the truth.. AND the way AND the life. :) As for righteousness, well, hate to burst your bubble but Jesus Himself says that there are NONE righteous. Not a single person on earth is righteous.

Well blue, let me be frank, I love you, and the particular dispute that is going on
I do not think you have grasped fully.

All I am sharing is the cross washed us and made us clean. As clean holy, purified
people Christ expects us to continue like this. This is all I am saying amen to.

All the disputes are because very contorted and stubborn people hate dealing with
sin and want to stay in their ways, often because they identify themselves with this
behaviour. So they invent God is happy with them, and it does not really matter,
God only sees Jesus and ignores their garbage behaviour.

Paul says this,

For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.
1 Thess 4:7

You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.
2 Peter 3:11-12

works have 0 to do with salvation..... but if there is no work being done in you, how can you claim to have a new heart? loving the world and sins more than your Father in heaven? haha.... definitely our works are nothing..... but The Holy spirit can give you assurance though his works in you

theres a difference between accidental and habitual sin.... if your life revolves around drinking and fornicating and swearing and eating and no thought of the price Jesus paid for you.... it should be obvious what you truely love
