Agreed. He's the guy that calls out people for being divisive, while he gives "likes" and "agrees" to divisive, name calling and lying posts.
See post #924 where Sackcloth-N-Ashes says:Hi @Chester
I don't think Lightskin is the subject of conversation now.
I think the context of the current discussion is that some people are conflating confronting sin (which we have a duty to do, and as you quite rightly did) with judging people on their sin.
I’m talking about someone who on here says he’s still fooling around, and not showing repentance for doing it.
I think he is still talking about Lightskin, but I might be wrong.
Not offended by the word at all, the guy claimed I made a statement I didn't - when I posted a pic of the applicable posts instead of admitting he was in error he proceeded with a lecture.
He still hasn't admitted his error.
Yes, I think that's because there are some people who seem to be arguing that because Jesus saves us, that there is no need to keep God's commandments at all.
The people who are (apparently) arguing this are conflating 'keeping God's commandments' with 'salvation by works'.
Yes, but also in general.
Its no different than the liar who lives a life of continual lying.
The drunkard who lives a drunkard’s life.
The gambler who lives the gambler’s life.
The adulterer who lives the adulterer’s life.
And so on...
Christians sins, and never said anything to the contrary. But they don’t live a life of habitual sinning.
Agreed. He's the guy that calls out people for being divisive, while he gives "likes" and "agrees" to divisive, name calling and lying posts.
If I have it was probably in error or misunderstanding - you would need to find the posts that I liked or agreed to to substantiate your claims.
You're right, I've got some homework to do.
I say "keep" because of John 14:15.
My mockery stands and won't be retracted. Any person talking crud about a person they have on ignore, name calling them, lying about them is a coward.
Sounds good bro. I am going to the RAIDERS/PANTHERS LORD willing. I'll give you my number sometime, if you like, and we can chat. I went down a bad road for a time, maybe we can encourage one another.
More importantly my bro, pray God brings you to full repentance. I will tell you the truth, and I do it in love; do not be deceived. Read the Scriptures I've given you.
You're right! Words are cheap and actions prove a man!
But I'll bet that Lightskin hasn't committed adultery yet since we started this conversation today (of course I could be wrong)
So to say he is the son who didn't do his father's command can't be proved yet!
If Lightskin goes home and quits committing adultery he's the son who got up and obeyed his father's words, right!?
I am betting on Lightskin that he will be a man and quit sinning! As I said in another place, this sort of thing will take guts, effort, and discipline: it isn't automatic! What about it Lightskin? I am with you brother and praying that God gives you a mighty victory today!
I've already substantiated them and don't need to a second time, it perhaps tells me who you are, bro. Is that who you are?
Hi Chester, hope you are well my bro!
I hope you haven't lost your salvation yet. (Just kidding bro, kill me later!)
Our brother @Lightskin also fessed up to drinking. Although I am not against consumption, Scripture is against being a drunkard. I am not sure where he is at on that, if it is drinking with the world, or what.
Look up NASB on whatever App Store you have. Look for literal word. That’s the one. It’s wonderful.Thank you, I appreciate it
I must have missed the post where you pointed out all the posts that I liked or agreed with. So you haven't substantiated anything. Perhaps you could post them again?
"it perhaps tells me who you are, bro. Is that who you are?"
I haven't a clue what you are saying or implying here, I ain't a Calvinist that's for sure.
Do you have any Bible programs for your phone, tablet or computer?Thank you, I appreciate it
No I don't. I prefer to use a book as I find it easier to flick back and forth.
But the program that @Sackcloth-N-Ashes suggested sounds very useful.
