Not By Works

[EleventhHour]

You deeply underestimate what God can do to reach someone with the Gospel. Your God is too small.

No actually it is your god that is small and inept.

Your god is not the God of the Bible. You serve a weak god. Your god makes you finish what he starts, keeping you on failure mode because you rely on yourself for salvation.

The God of the Bible is able to keep those that are His until that final day.

He laid out a perfect plan of salvation where we have an corruptible seed, the very righteousness of Christ.

That’s not unloving. How else shall the poster see their own hypocrisy? That’s actually loving.

Poor excuse on your part. Try again.

I'm speaking to anyone who deems me rude when I am defending Truth. And for the record, I'm not very deplomatic and never have been and probably am a lost cause for diplomacy

Forgot to add the quote from EG. Sorry.

You may be right...can we please let it go and start afresh....I will start observing...then ask questions....I know my problems..I jump in to quick....plus I’m stubborn, thank you.

Fresh - start over - sounds good

Are you really a star? Just wondering how far your despising of false goes.

My despising of false goes to the root of falseness. Do you have a phobia Dottie over my name?

Judge not lest you be judged. Jesus

Please take your own advice. It would be good for you

Just remember sometimes we lose track and need to be slow to act

LOL thank goodness we have a "member" now on here who can help us see our "hypocrisy" I suppose by her setting an example for us. She is pretty good at telling us what for

What a bunch of immature Christians you need to read what a mature Christian is need to read the book of Peter needs a victory the book of Galatians that speaks about Christian conduct . The final authority for all our needs is through scripture and even our attitudes have to be checked through scripture The way we Carry ourselves there's your saved through faith and the grace of God but you got to study to show yourself approved by both man and God but God being first the entire law and the scriptures give a perception of right and wrong the Jesus came with the Keys of the Kingdom which is the keys of understanding which is supplied by the holy ghost which gives discernment now the gifts of the Spirit are naturally of the spirit so he gave the keys that that you see through the spiritual eyes that you live by the spirit and not the letter yet the letter is always use as a reference because the says in the word of God that the law was made for the disobedient there for us being human beings of course were saved by grace and faith in him but because we are humans that have fallen we have to need to read the schoolmaster so that Christ Jesus shows us the way but we need to know right and wrong and in this case I seen many needing to know right and wrong you argue over things which go back to pride of all which things go back to the flesh which is contrary to the gospel of Christ..

So am curious as to the conclusion concerning Elijahs feet? Red or blue?

Welcome to CC. I’ve just returned too.

I think it was purple red and blue I think makes purple😀

 

[Apostol2013]

Shouldn’t we then rebuke a number of Bible passages? What’s the difference between edifying and flattery? Is this known? Certainly flattery is more “edifying” than the truth for some. Some of it is pretty thick.

There we go by endless debates that go against all godliness are you about yourself or your about the gospel?what's more important your pride or the word of God..

 

[Apostol2013]

Hi jackrosie,

You mentioned that you only had limited knowledge of Scripture but remember "deep calls to deep" and that "it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose."

God can enable you to understand beyond human understanding. You will be fine.

Meaning limited understanding and the only reason I say limited understanding but I said it in the form of limited knowledge of scripture because in a sentence same way it is limited understanding. Meaning every pastor that's over a church has received the level of education to oversee the flock a lot of those believers don't have that much of a education and in such cases they read scriptures but yet they don't understand them they read the words and they sound like playing English yet there is a way of reading scripture the interpretation the study of of of interpretation of reading scripture is called hermeneutics and I believe that each believer should go under a pastor that is qualified to answer all answers before going out and causing endless debates some with character flaws some trying to push their own debates because of lack of education lack of knowledge so in most cases they need a good education or they need a pastor...

I wonder if she wears all the phlacteries that go with the role?

Neither. God Himself is more important.

If I need a preacher/pastor I'll go to church. This site is for the expression of spiritual matters. This particular thread is for standing firm for NOT by Works are we saved. The debates/discussions is why most of us are on here. As in all sites there are those who promote their own doctrine. Who is there qualified other than the Lord Himself to decide the maturity or non-maturity of others.

I wonder if she wears all the phlacteries that go with the role?

Probably. lol

It’s pretty interesting that the members who named themselves Apostle, Star, Eternally grateful, Stones of Fire and similar lofty names call me proud. When we all stand before Him and He asks what we decided we deserved to be called, how different the name Dorothy will sound to everyone in comparison with such titles as they chose. And I am supposed to be proud.

Your arrogance knows no bounds. Dottie.

God will not be concerned about our names. He will be concerned about so much more. Dottie

 

[jackrosie]

Apostle,star,eternally grateful,stones of fire,...,the names these members use are to glorify God...show their love for him....nothing to do with Pride..DorothyMae.
