    Man the Trolls are out and about. Me thinks they are trying to steer this thread to be closed for good. If that were to happen, where would they go then to spread their dislike.

    Amen. The Lord tells us in His Word, the servant of God must not strive. We are to prayerfully read, discern the messages from scripture and we are never to lay a heavy burden on anyone else. We are not to judge another's soul but we are to seek truth out of what another says. False is to be...

    Not By Works

    Those of us who have been studying God's Words for many years, have discernment to what is truth and what is false. Perception has nothing to do with what is revealed in the Word of God and the only truth is in His Word and in His Works

    While I hate no human being and while I hope for all to receive redemption and salvation, I will continue to hate false teaching and false twisting of the Word of God. People can call that whatever they please, but I will not support what I know in my heart is not the Truth from the Word of God.

    This speaks to how much our Lord and Savior loves us. He loved us so much he has covered us and our sin with His Blood and God has covered us with His mercy and grace. There is nothing any other human can do to us that God cannot handle. Our salvation is from the Creator God and His only...

    2 Timothy 1:12 - For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. I stand on the Word of God for my convictions and I stand on the fact that my salvation is once and for all from the day I accepted Jesus as My Lord...

    As for my change of wording towards that person, I really haven't dealt with her anymore. I know her from a past site. My feelings about how she expresses her doctrine has not changed. I will always stand up to what I believe to be "false teaching, false doctrine." It is the interpretation...

    You need to look back on your posts since the day you joined. They have been different from one agreement to another agreement. You have changed your beliefs from one doctrine to another. It is plain to see. The words are yours. No one has "turned against you" yet you have disagreed with...

    You have been given what the Fruits of the Spirit are. You have not given what you are calling the "fruits of the Spirit." You are answering everything lately with fruits of the spirit. It is like you are going around in a circular motion.

    I cannot speak for the author of this thread nor would I dare but the thread began as Not By Works. For the most part it is still about that (with a few drifts along the way). For me there is no debate. God's Word is clear: John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only...

    I admit my "fruit bearing" is often soft, non-consistent. But there is one thing I will continue to do. I will rebuke any words I believe are against the Truth as presented in the Word of God. Always.

    Well I guess I have done all I believe can be done from my side of the aisle. So I will go forth with fervent prayers.

    For clarification, the fruits of the Spirit have been shown through scripture by several posters. Here is the scripture about "fruits of the spirit" which none of us can bring forth all the time. Why? Because we are still in our human bodies and our flesh will wrestle with our spirit until we...

    The Holy Spirit teaches us discernment as we study the Word of God. Pray for discernment, wisdom. Put on the whole armor of God: Read Ephesians Chapter 6, 10 through 20. "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the...

    Fruits. Yes we are to produce good fruit for the Lord. Another thing to watch out for is the "twisting" of the Word of God. Pray for and learn "discernment."

    1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is a must if one is trying to decide who...

    There is only one Grace which is given by God Almighty Creator. It is sacrilegious IMO to divide (by man's thoughts) His grace into "camps." There is no distinction to what God gives out. Any distinctions spoken of is not what God has done. The only grace is what He has been so mercifully...
