Nice try and very judgmental...it has nothing to do with pride, but rather being zealous to keep the truth in the forefront because eternity is at stake and the price for being wrong is HELL/LAKE of fire
For the record...You have no ability to judge motive and or make the call you did......

Hi Peaceful, you have been on this forum for three days. Did not your Mom or Dad ever teach you how to be polite to people and by the way you might gain a little more respect if you would kindly introduce yourself first. Before you become so judgmental try taking the tree out of your eye first

Funny how you imagine you do have the ability to do the very thing you think you're entitled and empowered to judge of me.
And for the record, I didn't try anything. I did it.
You are very judgmental. This entire thread you began being proof of that as you invited that discussion wherein you think you're able to do what you claimed in your prior post.
YOU lead no one to the truth. GOD keeps truth in the forefront. God calls whom he will to his son. NO ONE comes to the father but through the anointed savior Christ.
You asked if I'd read your posts here? Yes, I did. Judgment and vulgarity and filthy words thrown at people you accuse for not seeing things your way. Yes, I did read your posts here. You are no preacher. You are no leader of lost souls to the light. You are pride filled and egocentric. Your example here is a blessing by God's will.
It shows us what it looks like to live in the dark thinking a flashlight in the right hand makes you a leader to the truth.
Vulgarity is not of God. And contrary to the excuses I've read you make for that behavior, yours is not Christ like or like unto what Christ said and did in the new testament. Nor is it akin to the patriarchs of old when meeting the enemy. Rather, it appears more akin to the enemy.
Ah, judgment again? Yes.
Because those who are in Christ are called to exercise righteous judgment not based on outward appearance, which would not be able to apply here in a discussion forum. God does not look at outward appearance and judge. God judges the heart.
The heart on a forum of this nature identifies within itself by words that are brought forth from the one that speaks in order to break hearts using hateful words and aspersions. As you do.
Yours is not an example. It is a warning. You think you lead people to the truth. What a shame that is. That's not scripture. That's pride.
The truth is God's breath alive and enlivening all that is, was, or ever shall come to be.
There are people who think the lost come to Christ. As if they find a map and walk the path, in the direction, that will lead them to live eternally as a spirit with God their creator.
That's the carnal material mind's viewpoint. That's not what the Word is. Nor is it what the Word means to say.
Bye now.

I wouldn't call Dcon prideful. I would call him...passionate about defending the word of God, and rebuking those who believe a works-based salvation gospel.

Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.
Funny thing....HE said we do not or cannot persuade anyone.......Yet my bible states clearly that is exactly what we do....

You're attempting to teach me how to be polite?
And you're bringing my mother and dad into this? Didn't yours teach you to know what you're talking about before you speak?
I am polite. There's not a post I've made that is not so. Yours on the other hand is devoid of that.
Introduce myself? I won't say it. It's there. But you missed it because sarcasm was your first priority. You also seem to think you speak for everyone in matters of my being afforded respect. Guess what? Show respect in order to gain it.
Someone who comes from a pride filled perspective and judges people using hate filled words isn't worthy of respect. Pride filled egoism thinks it leads people to the truth. Behaving as he does and defending with that? Is abusive of the truth.
All those passages in the scriptures that rebuke his tactics are ignored.
I get it though. You do this to defend someone who demonstrates impolite behavior and a predispositions to pejoratives when cornered and proven to be not as educated in scripture as he presumes.
Birds of a feather and all that.
One such even tried to correct my understanding of the thread title.

Calling me a liar by any other means still shows you're trying to call me a liar. This forum is public. People can pick a thread and read it at their leisure any time they wish.
And I didn't state I've read every single page in this thread. If you're going to chastise me make sure you address what I have actually said.
I'm done with this defending against such attacks. Interesting number that aligned to that end though. Three.
This thread isn't about me. This thread is about the truth of God and his blessed grace that saved the world.

Thank you God for allowing us to read that example of one who thinks his behavior leads people to your truth.
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 16:18
"But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
James 4:6
"Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished."
Proverbs 16:5

Reporting me?
I'm a she. If someone calling you out for your pride filled behavior is against the rules, that's the second shame.
