DONE!

[Poinsetta]

"reneweddaybyday, post: 4002223, member: 237620"]I do not read all threads. There is not enough time in my day to read every thread. I generally have time to participate in one or two threads at any given time.

uh. ... dog that good memory of mine. gonna get me in trouble again. from your op:

I spent much time in going back into forums on cc to 2008 and forward.
Many many who were once participants here are NO longer with us,I do not know why!

I am not the OP. Leastamongmany started the thread. My first Post in the thread.

right. sorry again. in that case, you can spend as much time as you want . that also explains why she never responded



It appears to me that the disunity is in doctrinal minutiae. The unity we have as a body of believers is the faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

minutiae. musta missed that. what page is that on again?

Just about every post in every thread on CC.

true. I was being a tad sarcastic


We all need to realize that we are all in various stages of development and maturity in the Lord. We also need to realize that we are all members in particular in the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Head, we are the members of His body, and we all have different functions within the body.

true

How many of us allow other members to function as God has designed?

here? that would be impossible. remember the church thingy I posted?

If you want me to go back and read something you posted previously, it would help if you let me know the Post number and thread.


um...sorry? maybe just deal with this cause obviously I am already confused


Some are called to exhort and gently encourage others. Does that mean the faith he or she has is not genuine? No.

Some are called to apologetics (watchers/defenders). Does that mean the faith he or she has is not genuine, or is somehow different than the one who prefers to encourage? No.

The faith is the same ... the function within the body of Christ is not the same. Both believe God. Both uphold the Word of God. One upholds by defending the gospel. One upholds by supporting and encouraging. God works within each one as He sees fit. We are to be submitted to Him and speak as He directs ... sometimes with what appears to be harsh words and sometimes with what appears to be words which are too soft / gentle.

and how do you see that exactly, since you don't like how some people speak here? see, this is what I am talking about. it's a forum and we get to be members here and post pretty much whatever unless breaking the TOS, but you cannot hold to 'speak as He directs' while telling others they are out of line. which one of you is correct if you are both saying He directed?

I think you have me confused with someone else. Also, you completely missed the point I tried to convey (probably through my ineptness in communicating).

yeah yeah. we covered that. could be my ineptness or disregarding the name on the post since I was engaged with the op...that is directly posting to her


What I am trying to say is that we all need to speak truth but the manner in which we speak may differ.

right

One member in the body of Christ may be an apologist ... a defender ... and may come across as abrupt or harsh while another member may be more gentle in his or her manner. The point is, as long as each one is speaking the truth of God's Word, we shouldn't be upset about how that truth is communicated. I think those who are "warriors" kind of roll their eyes at the more "gentle" of the flock, wondering who is going to hear the whisper. And the more gentle are kind of frightened by the ferocity of those who are more abrupt / harsh, wondering who is going to listen to thunder.

name calling etc is off bounds

oh believe me, I don't like being called vile or hateful or nasty or unsaved and all of those have been attributed to me at one time or another and worse than that! someone once told me I was speaking through a demon...no not you Roger...but then she just turned out to be wierd and finally quit.

We all need to grow up. Quit the name-calling and if someone calls us a name recall that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph 6:12).

too many names called and I report. also report people who consistently used ad hominum attacks. you should be safe


And that is the basis of our fellowship one with another. For some, that may be the only place in which there is unity.

You know, once we are born again, God begins His work within each and every one of us to bring us closer to Him. Some of us submit to Him ... some of us do not submit and we wander away, get lost, and the Shepherd comes and finds us, lays us on His shoulder, and brings us back to the fold.

not everyone here is 'born again' and not everyone here is in agreement with the most basic of doctrine...you cannot be in agreement with what they say

I know not everyone on this forum is born again, sevenseasrekeyed. right

And I know that those who are born again are not to agree with any doctrine which is not in alignment with Scripture.

I believe what I posted earlier [ here ] was an example from Acts 18 where Aquila and Priscilla taught the way of God more perfectly to Apollos.

How many of us try to teach someone who has is ignorant (not taught at all) or has been hoodwinked (taught false doctrine)? I think we all do. But how do we teach? Do we call names, browbeat, treat others disrespectfully? Or do we take the time to work with others out of our love for God and respect for those He has called His child? People are blown about through cunning craftiness by false teachers who lie in wait to deceive.

I agree no names...but also no sniping and ad hominum attacks. I won't mention names...they are obvious

There is a time coming where all this dissension will be wiped away. We will all bask in the Light and see Him face to face.

not before the biggest battle of all time though

So? Just because the "biggest battle of all time" has not happened, does that mean I can behave in a manner that is unbecoming of a child of God and not reap the consequence? (rhetorical question because I know you do not believe this)

right. but creating threads to address those you have disagreed with is not the best solution. op has made several.

right. well I am sorry about that. for some reason, I thought you were the op because I was directly posting to her so I thought you were her without checking the name

so I have replied to your purple type above in green

hope it is good to go now?

These are my email colors lad. Ahaha

 

[Leastamongmany]

You can go your own way! I choose God's way. I will ignore yours!

This is directed at EG not you Poinsettia!

[7seasrekeyed]

Hi seven, you were in leadership. I think I know why you are no longer.

Our armour is in our relationship with Christ. Maybe you do not have
healing, faith, repentance, confession. Yes Paul talks about going to war against the enemy, I am talking about how we refresh our souls.

I hear your attempt to correct me, as if I appreciate your musings on my response to Christ. I do not. Nor do I respect your authority or even intent. And my intent is encouragement of praise and worship of the King. Do you know this in your heart, because if you did you would praise our Lord with me. And I am sharing for those who like me sit in praise and worship of our King.
"Be still and know that I am God"

Thank you Jesus that you are our foundation, night and day, morning, noon and night. I know dear Lord you work in my heart, and I ask dear Lord that you might bring light, life and love to those here who are willing to listen learn and follow your ways, Amen.

what end of the donky are you representing?

I moved out of the country which is why I am no longer in the position in the church I was in

and at the moment, it is not something I wish to be doing

yeah...maybe you should consider what Jesus said about flashing your prayers in public cause your hee haw rings pretty loudly at the moment

scripture is what corrected you. I just go by that and it is clear what the armor actually is

do you grade yourself when you think you have hit a target?

better give yourself a big ole failure LOL!

9 Then Jesus told this story to some who had great confidence in their own righteousness and scorned everyone else: 10 “Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer[a]: ‘I thank you, God, that I am not like other people—cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I’m certainly not like that tax collector! 12 I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’

13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, ‘O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.’ 14 I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

Luke 18

At this time.....i left napping for good. 😴

 

[eternally-gratefull]

You can go your own way! I choose God's way. I will ignore yours!

Keep trying to save yourself.

But if you keep going, you will see who went gods way. And you will not be happy

The fact your not even willing to discuss my way should be a warning. You should ask yourself what scares you so much

"Be still and know that I am God"

my authority? what do you actually mean by that? no one said a word about authority, therefore, you must see that also as a prize to which you are galloping

I honestly think God is looking with some humor, and sadness, at what you are writing to me because you do not have clue as to my relationship with Him nor what I may have or may not have done in any position I have had

but you have to get personal, right? everything with you is some kind of ad hominum attack or a red herring or some kind of fallacy that props up your ego

what do you want anyway? I did not say a word to you in this thread. you started up with me and while ignoring your attempts at authority is the peaceful route, why should you be allowed to get away with your sniping and posturing?

nah. I do not want to praise whatever it is you think you are praising

it's disturbing to read what you post. disturbing and sad at the same time

So now seven, I am a donkey, I am a pharisee, I am a big ole failure.
Not exactly a co-herent response to what I have shared. Is this why you have avoid these types of
discussions before, because it leads to unfortunate avenues for you.

We are just lights, nothing stronger, nothing weaker. Love shinning in a world of dispair lonelyness
and betrayal. Jesus showed us God loves us and He cares to provide us with a way back to Him.

It is this light that is our hearts desire, the jewel that burns within.

35 Then Jesus told them, "You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. The man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going.
36 Put your trust in the light while you have it, so that you may become sons of light."
John 12

12 I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life
John 8

Amen, we shine this light into the world, the light of hope, the light of promise, the light of the cross
and what repentance brings to the heart of a saint. Amen.

Hi 7,
I have read you posts before, and wondered at your style.
God bless you, may the Lords light shine upon you and give you peace, may you know the meaning of His will
and His ways as you desire to follow Him, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, Amen.

Dear friends and brothers, sisters in Christ,

My point here was simple. We are fellow servants of the King, bought with a price, redeemed, washed clean,
purified and made whole, brought into maturity to testify to His name.

In this as His body we sing and praise to our King especially on this day of resurrection celebration, a sunday.
Yet when I call to fellow praise and worship of Jesus I get something else. Enough said. God bless you all.

no I didn't call you anything. I asked a question

oh brother

so we'll just toss out the salt analogy then. good. your posts are tasteless anyway

Do we know who we are messaging with here on this forum?

No, only by their words and their agreement does their heart speak.
Now if someone claims they know the Lord, have walked as an elder or leader of a worshiping part of
the body of Christ, yet when one is called to share in this celebration something else appears, the heart
is full of something different that the overflowing grace and love Jesus has brought us on this day of
celebration. So I do wonder, as I have met many blessed and gifted men and women of God, never has
this type of interaction taken place. God bless you

 

[FollowHisSteps]

I have ego to praise God, our Lord Jesus Christ, our saviour, and the King of All.
No I have a redeemed heart and knowledge of His great salvation that knows no end.

This is our walk of faith. If to anyone, and I mean anyone this is a walk of ego, you do
not know the Lord of the cross or the gift of Life he provides.

 

[kaylagrl]

@kaylagrl --->Nooooo...don't misunderstand me.......I was speaking in generalities in most points I made.............the only thing I directed at you out of everything I said can be summed up in...

a. True Christian fellowship is based entirely upon the truth
b. There is one correct message of salvation not two or more
c. ONE of us is dead wrong (either it is eternally given by faith or it is losable and maintained by man)

and no need to jump the fence and start adding to what I said in the accusatory tone.....I never said anything of the sort in your last paragraph

You winged me, I reacted. I can't go much into this for fear of turning this into an OSAS thread. But as I said I have dear friends who believe this. Here's what I find funny about OSAS vs what I believe. I have a pastor friend who left his wife for his worship leader. They had a flat out affair, not emotional, they had and are still having a sexual affair, he is living with her at this moment. I'm being blunt to make a point. Here's were I find it humorous...

I would say he used his God given free will and walked away from God. He rejected the free gift of eternal life. You can give me a gift and I can say "no thanks".


Now, if I understand what you all have been telling me you would say he was never saved in the first place. Which I don't understand how that could be. But in both cases we'd agree he's lost and needs to repent and come to Christ. Yes, no, something else? Because it seems to me we go round the fence a different way to come to the same conclusion.

 

[7seasrekeyed]

why do you have such a need to prove you are saved and to attempt to disprove others who point out to you the inconsistencies in what you post?

you might have some head knowledge going on, but your heart is way off somewhere else and nowhere near anything I am talking about

smh

 

[FollowHisSteps]

Are you a giant killer?

I met a guy on these forums, who knew many minstries, their failure, their struggles, some of their hypocrisy,
the affairs the miss-use of money, the business of church and the life of love has left his soul.

All he could now believe was defeat and hope God saved him despite his walk.
Some here know what you cannot know, the true story, and they wish to bring low any faith or desire to
walk the walk of the way Jesus lays before us.

Let the cynics come, let them shout and on that say, the Lords people will shine in glory, at the wedding
of the bride with the bride groom, their Lord and King, who by His blood purchased a place in the throne
room of God the creator of the universe. God bless you, who follow King Jesus Amen.
