Are Mormons children of Hell?
Their teaching is.

Are Jehovah Witnesses children of Hell?
Their teaching is.

Are Catholics children of Hell?
Their teaching is.

Are TULIP people children of Hell?
Their teaching is....
The belief that belief is enabled of God? This would make the teaching of freewillers the same, yes?

Now, can you answer the question I actually asked?
 
What did Job possess that He did not receive? Jesus told His disciples that they could do nothing apart from Him. God's testimony of Job was a testimony of God's great grace exercised towards Job. Even Satan recognizes how much God has done for Job.

What Job received from God made him worthy of praise from God!

Why?
Evidently....

Job had to choose to accept and receive what God led him into.
Free will choices caused Job to merit favor from God!

Has your dogma blinded you to the obvious?
Can you admit you have been wrong?



"Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but whoever hates correction is stupid.
Proverbs 12:1

Did Adam and Eve go to Hell for their stupid free will choices? NO!

A disobedient child still remains your child.

compassion is no excuse for your daily belittlement of people, and you need to own up to your attitude, which is very disturbing

There is nothing in Genez' post which is "belittlement". Given your pattern of responses, I honestly think you have a rather serious victim mindset that sees any resistance or disagreement as a personal attack.

I'm not sure which is more appropriate, the 'funny' emoji or the 'prize'. I'd give you both if I could. :)

Here's compassion....


But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me,
for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.” Matthew 16:23​

If compassionate Jesus did that to you?
You would have wet your panties.

You're a silly man.
You need Truth and the filling of the Spirit to transform you into the image of Christ.
Not a woman!

I'm not interested in your compassion, you only see things your way, and no amount of reasoning can reason with you, and im no longer interested in listening to your views on scripture, you use to pull people down with to your level , at your own disclosure.

I could say how I see the scripture you've posted posted, but seeing as you have your personal views that everyone else must have at your discretion I'll not bother.

You'll just trample all over it as you always do,

You've made that many personal attacks to people here, your view points on Scripture will mean nothing to God, regardless of how much you try.
 
Your insults only reflect on you, and indicate an underlying emotional fragility. Perhaps you should have a long chat with your pastor.
own up to your own behaviour before you examine mine, your the one who keeps insulting me.

You can't take correction.

I have been trying to figure it out, this explains a lot....victim mindset. :unsure:(y)

What is actually and truly disturbing, is calling someone a pervert, having a creepy smile and making an ethnic slur.

Victim mindset ?

You can try to play the better person all you like, victimising people is exactly what I'm not happy about here,

Now it may be you don't see that as a valid reason with your attitude to take a thicker skin approach to develop a stronger back bone, but to me that's your way to once again dismiss what's really happening here and you shouldn't just brush this behaviour off with your careless attitude , and not everyone can be how you would like them to be when it comes to dealing with disrespectful people.

He needs to own up to his behaviour, and you shouldn't be making me look like I'm in the wrong for his appalling behaviour.

Because that's what your doing, its sad you should drop to this level.

But I'm not surprised seeing as you've dropped to many disappointing levels already, when I've talked to you.

Yawn. YOU deal with YOUR bad behaviour and STOP WHINING about the behaviour of others.
