You would have done better addressing your post to everyone on this thread..

Not singling me out as you did.....you are also in fear of a few on this thread,but we won’t go there...

Only Christ can help us grow a pair...if you get my drift.our strength comes from the Lord not ourselves.

@jackrosie ...
We are told to build one another up , and that is what I believe @Just_Jo was doing from her heart...
It is a beautiful thing don`t you think...
Why would you put a boring sign on her post , she was reaching out in love...

1 Thessalonians 5:11

Well I don’t,you can think what you like.

Once upon a time you told me that dc harshness was right,because he was standing up for the Lord?

I noticed you changed your mind about him.

So don’t tell me how I should take Her post....I read into what I see ......,not what you see.......look into your own heart and don’t judge mine.

Until God shows me otherwise the zzzz will remain.

And I do still think @dcontroversal is passionate for the word of God , I do not engage with him because of his personal wording to other members...
It is very clear you have some anger in your heart , and it was shown towards @Just_Jo and now me...
I am not judging your heart , I am going by what is coming from your mouth ...

I'm not offended in you. ( It's Jo btw)
Nor am I led by emotions but no longer have a stony heart of flesh.



Seriously....a couple of weeks ago you brought up my learning difficulties.
Only you posted a meme of some deranged head.
Then told everyone about my mental health problems.

Your post is false.

Look at my other post by the way.

Where Jo showed love for her sister,by bringing up my learning difficulties,posted a meme of a deranged head,and told everyone I had mental problems,on a thread a few weeks back.

Her post was false..that is what made me angry.

Now leave me alone,focus on yourselves.
I want to speak about God......not listening to what you think about me as it has no relevance.

Syllogism. The Calvinists hermanutic. " Mary is Jesus,s mother . Jesus is God . Therefore Mary is the mother of God . "
This is the error of viewing the bible this way . Calvinism is built on deductive method. Which is why scripture is not their authority but ' philosophy ' . The bible says God is pleased to save those that believe, not cause belief in those he saves. (1 Cor. 1:21; Rom. 10:9-10)

As well there are presuppositions read into the text.

How about we post on the topic.... which is ........ the lack of contextual honesty in Calvinism and Reformed dogma.

The past dialogue reminds me of a bunch of grade eight girls when I coached basketball .. after some weekend party that went sideways.

Who said God causes us to believe?

God brings us to belief...cause is not the same as bringing....and no if you ask,I’m not explaining it again.

God chooses,he draws and he saves.

The Spirit CONVICTS of our unbelief and draws us to Jesus' offered gift of redemption by free will.
This is our ONLY way to God the Father!

Not directed at you...
No one in particular just the general dialogue ...there is .always one that wants to make peace, the other who instigates the one caught in the middle....quite interesting actually.

Sometimes one has to be wise about to whom we offer an olive branch....imho

No one can come to the Son unless the Father draws them...the chosen ones who have no choice in the matter....because they were chosen before they were born.

The wind blows wherever it pleases.You hear it’s sound,but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going.
So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.

This is contradictory by the way.
If He chooses then He must bring by force...unless you can allow Him to fail?
