Knowing what the Rapture is.
Knowing what the Millennium is.
Someone who can not even master that much?
I know what the rapture is as well as the millennium even though those terms are not in scripture.
You didn't answer my question: does God only own the cattle on a 1000 hills? Also, still haven't seen your outline on the books of Deuteronomy and Revelation. Also, did you ask @HeIsHere about her understanding of eschatology?
The Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. 1 Samuel 16 v 7 Perverted men see things through the lens of their perversions.
yep as I thought still saying sin is not evil.
The bible portrays Sin as being evil in many places and separates people from God.
There may be a difference between telling a small lie when your unsaved then say committing murdere genez.
But you could lie to somebody so they can sell there soul to the devil deliberately.
Yep Let me guess eh genez. Thats just a sin, and that's not evil.
No probs genez you have it your way.
1 John ch 3 v 8 The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.
Isaiah 5 v 20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter.
Isaiah 5:20-21; Proverbs 26:12b Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight. There is more hope for a fool than for him.
Jesus is authority over all people
The fact is genez you painted the picture of narcissism being ok.
Just like your response here to keep dominating and not admit your error, by using Jesus as an excuse to keep dominating with your madness to justify your dominance
Your a joke mate
have to say she's my type of lady i find i attractive she looks just like my lady
Isaiah 5 v 20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter.
yep Mr genez is seriously out of line here.
I have always thought she looked very sad, and appropriately so given the verse she accompanies...have to say she's my type of lady i find i attractive she looks just like my lady
yep Mr genez is seriously out of line here.
You are very brave to take on the depraved...
Why should I answer a question to a mind who thinks the Rapture of the Church is not a real doctrine, and that we have been living in the Millennial reign of Christ since 70AD? A mind that had found substitutes that he claims are the same thing because he superimposes the same title upon them?
Would someone want to venture a serious answer with person who is able to think in that way?
I do not know who really trained you. But it was not for the edification of the body of Christ.
The Holy Spirit would never cause someone to think what you claim to believe.
I am just enduring you. Observing what it is the Lord will have standing before Him in the future to see how He will deal with you when you will know that the game is up. I want to see how His justice will deal with you.
Evil would be when someone who has sinned, says the following is not true.
1 John 1:9
If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Sin should simply be recognized and be dealt with instantly.
Evil wants to enhance sinning, and to perpetuate what he knows to be sin.
Lying is a sin. 1 John 1:9 instantly deals with it.
But ,,, enjoying lying goes beyond simple sin.
Making lying into a means for one's own pleasure and another's hurt, overflows into the realm of "evil.'
It is what one chooses to do with their sins that will determine if they are evil.
Our time on earth is short.
What we choose while on earth will last forever.
yep and once again your saying sin is not evil despite scripture clearly stating sin is evil in the lord's eyes
You are a fake. You continually misrepresent what I share and besmirch and impugn my character. No one led of the Spirit would do this to a Christian. So your fruit is lacking and your discernment continues to be poor.
So let's try again: what is the overriding theme of Deuteronomy?
All sin is evil. But not all evil is sin.
Giving to the poor through the Spirit is divine Good. Giving to the poor through your Flesh....is evil/human good/ human deeds/human works.
It is not a sin for unbelievers to give to the poor......But it is evil/human good/human deeds/human works.
In not sure how you can paint the picture of giving to poor evil, I suppose it comes from desperation to be Mr dominant free willer.
It seems to be the general theme around here for free will.
Well have a nice night and lll look forward to more tomorrow.

Isa 64:6
For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf,
HEB 5:14
But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to distinguish between good and evil.

In agreement because it remains truth.
