Scripture is the source of objective truth, the leading of the Holy Spirit, honest research and employing sound reasoning like the Bereans and no one would fail to arrive at the TRUTH.
What a silly girl you can be, you claim your opinion is fact but don't have proof. You might think you're God's mouthpiece, i don't.
My bath is nearly run, i probably won't get to see your reply until later or tomorrow.

I wonder how loud a fart would be or what would happen if everyone in the world farted at the same exact time?
It has been proven that she is in error on multiple counts but refuses to acknowledge
such, preferring to blaspheme God instead, as do some of those she finds accord with.
One thing for sure is it wouldn't be as stinky as the foetid swamp this thread has been for around the last 1100 pages.

Maybe not, but I sure will be! *grunts and farts*One thing for sure is it wouldn't be as stinky as the foetid swamp this thread has been for around the last 1100 pages.
I thought perhaps you had left in embarrassment after a few comments like this on your previous account, but apparently not.
Will this account last a little longer?
Really the only *thou-shalt-not* worth being concerned about is thou shalt not do the works of the flesh. Surely that's not a "legalism" you can be offended with, right?
Is she pretty young friend? I do think she's something of a pleaser, goes along with the crowd. Anyway, my bath's ready, blessings and all that's good for now.
Ooh! It's Guy Fawkes, no fireworks yet, it's really quiet this year.
No she is not young. Just in love with her idolatrous errors.
Have a lovely evening, dear...
You're confusing being offended with having a different opinion, i disagree, that's it.
It's like Malcolm the mounty always gets his manTrolls just do what they do friend, enlightening, mutually beneficial spiritual discussion, isn't what floats their boat. They want to control discussion, impose their interpretation of Scripture etc, i do wonder if some of them are genuine Christians.
However, trolls are often troubled people, it's also possible there are only a couple of, or a very few, busy trolls. Doesn't take many of them to cause trouble, i have cracked up laughing when reading replies seemingly to two or three other members, who are all clearly the same troll. If you get a sense of déjà vu too at times, i recommend clicking on the comment linked in the reply, it's often very enlightening
You know when you've been trolled
But really I sense strongly what the trouble is with people who question salvation and yours , for a lot of people it's the fear of working out there own salvation, as its also what we all have to do, and some people will go through some very troublesome trials in the process.
It could be there more troubled because of the way and which our adversary can persecute people
Does that mean you disagree that the only *thou-shalt-not* worth being concerned about is thou shalt not do the works of the flesh? Or do you believe there are no *thou-shalt-nots*
Sure, because no-one here who believes God frees the will to choose or reject Him has said (repeatedly) that grace always initiates.
And what God "initiates" He always finishes! When you FWers say that God initiates grace, you simply mean He merely provides the opportunity for all to be saved. He's sitting in the heavens wringing his hands, hoping that people will accept His Son. Your god is a god of Utter Futility, since his grace is totally ineffective and a very small percentage will wind up accepting the gospel. Your god might have a batting average of .100 (given the doctrine of Remnant Theology), which is pretty pathetic. But my God has a perfect score of 1.000, since all He ordained in eternity to save will come to Him in faith in time and space. Your god's will can be frustrated, compromised and thwarted, even though you FWers claim that He wills for everyone on the planet w/o exception to be saved.
Now...here's another huge fly in the ointment of FWT:
Eph 1:4
4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight....11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,
NIV
And,
2 Tim 1:-9
9 who has saved us and called us to a holy life — not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time....
NIV
These passages (and others) destroy the universal grace concept proffered by FWers! For if God's saving grace (not to be confused with common grace) is actually universal in extent, then this means everyone in the world is saved since that kind of grace is never given to anyone outside of Christ. The whole world, in the scheme of FWT, must have been in Christ before time began in order for God to have given that saving grace to each and every person in the world.
God has only ONE people -- His elect. Christ has only ONE Body -- all the Father's elect. Believe it or not, all the promises made to the Jews under the Abrahamic or Old Covenants will be fulfilled by all the saints under the eternal New Covenant, of which the OT believers are also a part.
P.S. We're in the "millennium" currently, since the 1,000 years is a symbolic number that simply denotes a long, indefinite period of time.
