So because one person says something we all get lumped into your despicable basket do we? What makes you think I read every single post in a thread?

You're the one constantly misrepresenting what we say then calling us liars for your misrepresentation. Plus you know your use of "FWers" is used as a denigration.

You did say I blasphemed when you lumped me in with your FWer tag which you have done again in this post.

Don't pretend you're innocent when you have done more maligning than any here. Virtually every post you make is derogatory. Even someone, who made their first post to you, you couldn't help but be rude to them in your response.

You point your finger at others and fail to stop your own wagging tongue.

You are a sad case which I continue to pray for.

Even the point @cv5 was making is being misrepresented and of course taken out of context.

He's been shown the inaccuracy of his depiction concerning the reformed faith. He simply ignores it. You do the same thing concerning other aspects of the reformed faith.
 
When we are unfaithful, He remains faithful. God is not mocked. He will not make one alive He knows is not a genuine believer and He promised if alive you will never die.

Salvation is not a reward, it is a gift. Rewards can be lost, but never salvation.

IOW you disagree with the Scriptures I cited? If you believe them, then how do you harmonize them?
 
What exactly are you saying? They're not angels? What is there about a "run of the mill angel" that disqualifies him as being an angel?

Mem has a need to argue.
Mem will try to find a way to do so.

An argumentative personality goes beyond simply enjoying a good debate. It’s a pattern of behavior characterized by a constant need to challenge others’ opinions, often at the expense of social harmony. These individuals seem to thrive on conflict, turning even the most innocuous conversations into battlegrounds of ideas.

well that's what he implied sir,
He has not just implied it... And he has said other contemptuously vile blasphemous things in lieu
of admitting that he was wrong about some point... All in defense of his vain self-exalting idol, free
will. Things which he is applauded for. Sadly, he is not even the only one who blasphemes God rather
than admit they are wrong in what they say about God, in defense of their erroneous theology.


Beyond belief the lengths people travel to defend a non-biblical system.
 
He didn't say that about God, he was saying it about god.
Your not even acknowledging the fact he used the argument against me, he stated to me by my definition and understanding of scripture God must be a rapist to me.

Do you understand how disrespectful that is ?

How can you have so much "gnosis"? (knowledge)
Yet fail to see what you should with that knowledge to make it alive in you? (epignosis)

This place is your game board.
That's all.

Some come here because they genuinely want to gain truth.

Others, come here to see how well their obfuscation skills are functioning as their ego boost.

God will use all things to benefit those who are truly advancing in maturing in Christ.

I consider the Reformed Faith to be outside of traditional, evangelical Christianity based upon the written works by the people in this movement, so I find it hard to concern myself with pinpoint accuracy, probably does not exist anyway.

Having stated this, I do think some are born again believers.

How they have been caught up and stay within this false doctrine, even as it is continually pointed out to them >>>> that it is outside of scripture, demonstrates how deep indoctrination can be and this is always a cause for concern.

She actually applauds some of the vile blasphemous things he says, and also blasphemes God regularly herself.

Do you really think she cares? It is not like her errors have not been pointed out to her.

As much as @sawdust mirrors your teachings, and guards your words against my misunderstanding of them, it would appear that Genez' is her word. So, you at least you have 100 percent success in her case.

I am nobody's faithful student as much as I'd rather be considered one peer. If you see it fit continue talking down to me then I can only assume it is an invitation and that I'm welcomed to follow in kind.
Not to change the subject.

Your avatar? The person looks exhausted. Why is that?

Oh wise one without discernment. First you misassess @Mem, and now you whiff on me. You are quick to speak and slow to hear. God gave you 1 mouth and 2 ears. Try to keep the ratio correct.

So...lying and dishonesty are okay if you deem something false?

It was last week even longer and I can't be bothered to look for such insulting remarks, as you will probably have another excuse for his behaviour, why would you excuse somebody else's bad behaviour who have not even apologised for this remark ? After they where given the chance to

Surly you know that right ?
