Not By Works

I came back here and saw your backbiting.
You are still a baby in Christ. Or, you're not even saved to begin with.
Which one is it?

Does grace give you a pass on your backbiting?

What does John 3:18 say? BTW I believe in Him.

Who are you to judge me?

My real concern for you is your salvation.

Hi

I hope you don't me saying but you are being aggressive and personal which you normally haven't been. That's unusual for you.

Yes you attack doctrine but not people. Seems you are now attacking both.

@mailmandan is one of the most patient people on here. He does not attack people yet you attack him.

In the past, he has generally been at least somewhat polite, but after returning, he has really become mean and nasty!

Yep they do.
Simple question asked.

If you asked me if I sin then I would be honest and say yes.
But I would also say I hate it when I do and don't want to and ask Jesus to help me.
I acknowledge my need for Jesus to be like him and walk the way he as asked me to.
I even ask Jesus every day to reveal my sins of omission.

But for the sinless perfectionist sins of omission dont count.

I thought so as well. Also, since coming back, he has used zero Scripture in his posts, just condemnation. Big red flag.

let's pray for him...

This is stage two typically.

I won't describe stage three it ain't pretty.

Interestingly enough, believers who were hardest on me when I had wrong beliefs are the ones who actually caused me to see my errors.

We are hoping and praying the same for you ....... because we take no comfort in false doctrine, we know it ultimately it is far more destructive than any direct and targeted language.

Eternal IN-securists seem to see it that way. I believe Ephesians 1:13 - In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

I also believe Ephesians 4:30 - And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed unto/for the day of redemption.

John 6:40 - For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raises them up at the last day. *That is God’s will for us to become saved.

1 Thessalonians 5:14 - Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all. 15 See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. *That is God’s will for us after we have been saved.

That sounds over the top. Why so angry and bitter?

Way over the top ......... "murderous hatred"

Never was.......always about faith

Oh yay....clap clap clap the religious bloviator is back to spread his religiously inept view.....just another cake taker

So why the statement, “it is no more of works”?

Also, what do you think of the following verse? “In the beginning of the gospel...”

Philippians 4:15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.

HAHAHAHHAHAHHHA man.....you are as far from the truth as heaven is from hell!

Abraham believed God and it was put to his account for righteousness....

THE BIGGEST, MOST FATAL error that leads to hell in this age is CONFLATING the truth that FAITH alone has ALWAYS saved the believer with the CONDITIONAL COVENANT of BLESSING IN THE LAND which was based UPON OBEDIENCE.......

Amen!

1Sam 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

God Bless!
