Deny ourselves and take up our cross and follow him.
We have to be willing to put him and his will first...

By putting our complete faith in Jesus Christ our savior.
Jesus himself even instructs us that before becoming his disciple we have to count the cost...Which to me is no cost at all, but I think that it means we have to be willing to lay down our own will and put him first.... to me this is putting him first and putting our complete faith in him.

See it continues. (He can’t even admit I proved his buddy to be in error)
amazing, lets not stand up to the sin of others, or our own sin, but lets blame others.
and they wonder why I have stopped responding to them
Because you've done no such thing so there is nothing to admit.
The fact remains, you censure God. Romans 9:20.

Yeah whatever dude, He said we do not mention God, And I proved we did.
He was proven to be wrong. Because we mentioned God in all out posts numerous times as I proved,.
I already stated I refuse to discuss calvanism with you people. Typically, You responded to me with blind eyes, you thought. I was talking about calvanism, even though I told someone earlier I was not going to discuss that. Which just proves my point even more.
There is no use discussing calvanism with certain people. All it does is break hate, attacks, unchristlike behavior, and division. Not worth it. (As I said, it is not all people. It is just a select few)
But when someone tries to attack others by stating things which are not true. I will call them out. I do not care who you are. And if people do not stand up and call a sin out that is sin, thats on them. .
Take it back to Jeremiah 18, pal...I don't think Paul would disagree with the original scriptures.

Lol, true, of course that was not the context of what I was talking about to him, As usual, some people assume much, and assumed wrong. So they make errors. We will see if they even repent, or continue to blame shift.

we can all fall into this. I know I have, so we have to be open to correction from our brothers and sisters. Otherwise, we destroy our trustworthyness and our reputation.
I agree...I've done it too, but I do try to listen to others and have an honest discussions with them because God knows I don't have it all figured out, and I do make mistakes...so when I do, I feel the need to apologize to others...and I have had to do that more than a few times...

Yep, we have to use our god given free will to humble ourselves and confess our sin to each other’s. And not blame shift. Even non believers can chose to admit they are wrong. Why some people who are believers seem to have a hard time with this just baffles me.
Correct. And it is Calvinism. Actually it is no use discussing Calvinism with Calvinists. They have made such a firm commitment to their theology that not even corrective Scripture can make any difference. But then, you will find the same attitude with others who also hold to false beliefs. It would appear that once an erroneous doctrine is accepted, it become "Gospel truth" for the victim, and rarely will they repent and walk away from error.
