You are going to wait a long long time to get a Biblical reply with proper exegesis out of this one.

Feelings and one-liners are par for the course.

The only thing objectionable in that post is your reaction to it. Should you care (or dare) to refute it BIBLICALLY say on. If indeed you are able.

Mathew 7:15:20


A Tree and it’s Fruit.

Watch out for false prophets.
They come in sheep’s clothing,but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
By their fruit you will recognise them.
Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles?
Likewise every good tree bears good fruit.
but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit,and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Thus,by their fruit you will recognise them.

Oh man, so many people who have surpassed me and others on the highway to heaven. Let's see, what works do I need to do to "catch up?"

"Holy Spirit dwelling within their spirit"

Nope. Not in my bible. Could be a figment of your imagination though.

Absolutely horrifically mishandled misapplied erronious exegesis. Another testament to your inability to comprehend even the most basic concepts of Scripture.

1Corinthians 16.

Don’t you know that you yourselves are God,s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you.

I would never be so bold to tell someone they are Absolutely horrifically mishandled erronious exegesis.

But I can say I completely “disagree “ with you.

There isn’t any anyway. No scripture says love means to share what you think is the truth. Jesus knew the truth and kept quiet much of the time. Enjoy your day!!

You are just being argumentative here...

Are you really serious, did he keep quiet in the Temple when He was young?

I would like a verse that says salvation produces obedience.

But it is true that obedience produces faith.
Click to expand...
No, it is not true that obedience produces faith....faith is GIVEN in measure and CAN be increased BY SPIRITUAL GROWTH DUE TO A STUDY OF THE WORD OF GOD.....get it straight....THE PHARISEES and JEWS OBEYED THE LETTER of the LAW AND IT NEVER ONCE produced FAITH......you view is scripturally flawed even though you will not admit it

Obedience produces more faith...first we receive faith when we are saved.....then learning to become obedient increases ones faith....which can only come from the Lord.....that is my belief......

I have no problem calling wrong--> wrong....your post is wrong.....

God hath dealt to every man a MEASURE OF FAITH......it is A GIFT and NOT EARNED by man dia OBEDIENCE <--Pharisees OBEY to the proberbial "enth" degree....and they faith was ZERO!
