That is your "lone belief" if you wanna believe that God/Jesus is a liar and will turn his back on you just as soon as you commit a sin that is your "personal battle" I for one know not to try to right every wrong in the world myself,and accept that I am not worthy of Jesus's grace and salvation just like everyone else.
Thank you for the passage. It's why I have made a personal choice to not talk to unbelievers anymore. It's not my gift. That's why I'm frustrated with this forum and have requested my account be closed. Too many people demonstrating to me by their defense of willful sin that they are not genuine believers. Whether they really are or not is not my call. What I'm doing is not considering them to be believers until I see some honest contrition. That doesn't mean I hate them. It means I don't trust them as I would a believer.
You talk a good talk about the grace of God, but if you really believed it you'd turn from willful sin.
Yep.
Jesus said to treat the person in the church who does not respond to correction as an unbeliever. Did you know this? Few do.
Calling sin sin is not judging people.
And just where have I said that it's not wrong,any viewing of nudity willfully is wrong,wow what did that accomplish?
You still have areas to grow in, correct? You should meditate on the first half of Hebrews 12:14.
You do not turn your sin over to God by purposely continuing in it. You shut the computer or TV OFF, then you pray through and lean hard on him.
Not labeling them not Christian...considering them not to be Christian. If we did not do that then it would be impossible to beware of the wolves among the sheep.
Of course I do. That's why I like to talk to the church. I can relate to them. I want to build up the body of Christ. Unbelievers, on the other hand, do not listen and simply resist you to the bloody end and make excuses for their sin and love to play the 'what about you?' card. There are those with the spiritual gift of bringing them into the body of Christ. I'm not one of them. That's why I no longer talk to unbelievers.
I am not deceived just as I saw through peter's ruse,I see through yours,you profess to be a christian yet condemn your fellowman,seeking for your fellowman to fall,and profess a loseable salvation,yet this is not true for it makes Jesus a liar,and you claim we are not christians yet you can't fathom what that entails,it's not all ceremonies kid,it's about "Being humble with God/Jesus" and doing our best for him despite our sins and unworthiness,this is what you cannot accept for you seek our repentance but the word stings you,for so long as you judge us,you think you can't be judged,that is pure folly,there is no sin that man,woman,or child that can be hidden from God that he will not make known to all,you can keep this "game"going or you can be "real" with God/Jesus,it's an easy thing to point fingers at others while not realizing that fingers point back to you as well.
Like I say.....I hate talking to unbelievers. You have all the signs that make me 'consider' you an unbeliever (playing the 'judging' card, etc.). Whether or not you actually are is between you and God. But for me I have no choice but to 'consider' you an unbeliever by how you respond to truth.
Actually I thought this was self evident,if you pridefully think you don't need to grow in Christ by striving to do right then it's foolish,everyone can grow spiritually and learn more anytime.
