God calls me his son

He calls the lost wicked

I will let him know you call some of his children wicked. is that ok?

What are you twelve? You actually wrote that sentence being a grown man who professes faith in Jesus Christ? Once again your words convict you of being a false prophet.

How faithful He is to His covenant with our family. How He proves the exchange of the cross to us every day! He's ceaselessly proves to us that if we seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness He adds all things to us that the world runs after.

The beauty of the baptisms! How miraculously He leads us every day. O, but maybe you're right. Maybe we should turn our backs on Him after 20 years of His glory, faithfulness and righteousness. Maybe I should just go back to all the sin He miraculously rescued me from.

Lol!
 
I just read Psalm 31 and 32. There are verses that poignantly describe false prophets.

Wrong.

You left out a crucial word:

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we WERE yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).

The word “were” is past tense.

Past tense as in when Christ died for us, not when sins took place. Good freaking grief!

I haven’t refused his grace (God knows). However I am not going to receive it in vain and use my liberty for a cloak of maliciousness either.

When you claim grace must be earned, You are in fact rejecting his grace.

As paul said, If it is of grace, it is no longer of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace, If it is of works, it is no longer of grace otherwise work is no longer work

Grace can not be earned by anything, it is a gift freely given.

I don’t recall Paul ever starting his letters like this:

“Paul, to the sinners at...”

We are not sinners anymore.

If you have no reservations with calling yourselves sinners, then you are what you believe you are.

I never heard that either, And nor has she

We are speaking from our position, How God sees us.

Not how we actually are.

When a person hears the gospel and believes the gospel, all his sins up to that moment are forgiven and taken away.

This believer then grows in the faith by the word. Then, haven been made strong by the word, ceases to commit willful sin.

And if the believer continues in the faith in the integrity of his heart God can even prevent the believer from committing a sin in ignorance (Genesis 20:6).

And if a sin is committed in ignorance, the believer can confess it to God for forgiveness once the believer gets knowledge of it. The Holy Spirit can help the believer in this area.

There’s so much wrong with this it’s utterly disheartening. Where do people come up with this heretical crap?

Paul ays we were sealed by the spirit on the moment of faith

in thinking they are special. And God will reward them for how special they are

in refusing to see how sinful they are. and what they really deserve

Walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:16).

No one can conquer the body in the flesh.

But when you walk in the Spirit no effort is required.

The only effort needed is to deny the flesh by not obeying its desires (Ephesians 2:3).

You did not deal with this scripture.. that all sins are forgiven, past present and future.

“Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God.... For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy” Hebrews 10:11-12,14

No.

I want to follow the rules so that the Gentiles may glorify God in the day of visitation (1 Peter 2:12).
Click to expand...
well if you want to do this

Then learn to follow the law of love, Not rules

Of course, in order to be able to do this, You have to experience Gods true love first. And I am not quite sure you have yet

Uh oh. Someone’s rattled. I encourage you to read Psalm 31 in its entirety, paying particular attention to the second half of verse 17 and all of verse 18. You’re described to a T.
