I am by no means saying Christ is guilty of that, but that that's likely how the pharisees justified their sentence of blasphemy.
where did I say CHRIST was guilty?????
HE wouldn´t be EVER GUILTY....before, during, or after HIS CRUCIFIXION...HE is the SON of GOD...the exact representation of HIS IMAGE>..the FULL RADIANCE of HIS GLORY..and HE alone, before and after HAD ALL AUTHORITY to show, teach, reveal GOD...because HE came forth from GOD...
 
I wish I could...but what is given me to say, is what i say,.
I wish all we had to say was THE MESSAGE of the CROSS is the WISDOM of GOD made known and may it not be emptied of its power...but it appears, either some forget what they began in...or never began in what they should have begun in....

You preach against eternal security .. I saw it from your first posts.
 
You have an arrogance about you and I wish you didn´t...you close down conversations...
That’s funny because I was thinking that about you. I can be very arrogant but have toned it down quite a bit through the years. I see that same level of arrogance in you now and hope you’ll come to tone it down as well.
 
That's a lot of reading - would you like to be more specific?
That isn´t what you said. You said, reading this thread...that is quite different, and an insult directed at me, Iḿ sure especially since you used my name in a manner to joke about THIS THREAD....

It had nothing to do with reading Deuteronomy 13, which is not a lot of reading...

I agree with what you say, but I perceive a tone that is hostile rather than the gentleness that is a hallmark of those who have received the gospel. Maybe it's a failing of interacting via written communication.

Like I said be more specific, rather than tell some one to read this or that.
 
Not you EG. We keep being told to read this and that.
That´s a problem? Sir, if you aren´t willing to read it, I´m hopeful that those confused individuals who are trying to understand what the GOSPEL is, might very well do so...

And I hope after the constant mentioning of ROMANS< that they might

I don´t care what you perceive...if you would like to know, I used to keep my mouth closed for fear of offending men..

Now I don´t

GOD will be MY JUDGE alone...HE knows my heart and the intent of my straightforward approach

A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge,
but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.
3 The eyes of the Lord are everywhere,
keeping watch on the wicked and the good.
4 The soothing tongue is a tree of life,
but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.

All you seem to forget that there are baby ears, especially and most especially during this time, trying to seek THE TRUTH...
The best advice, if THE GOSPEL doesn´t seem clear to them, is for them to read and be directed to THE SCRIPTURES
