Here is what it all comes down to—- and you’d better get it right!

He has that same effect on me....just when you think, “ Hey, maybe this guy ain’t so bad after all” he blows it with something unbiblical,, Judgmental and Self- Righteousness...just a modern- Day Pharisee....He is as Blind to it as they were ....

All I know is that I offered to break bread and celebrate with a picnic and he asked if he could bring bear poop....
Not inviting him to another picnic again...LOL... Was a BLAST yesterday... reminded me of old times.

About the only thing that sucks here is your attitude. Sure, I want to take credit for what the Lord did for a low-life like me. I really climbed up the mountain so I can put a lightning rod on my head and wait for a thunder storm. Did you also get hit with a stupid bomb?

And here I thought you two would get along.... LOL @ stupid bomb... Those are my rules.... I don't do stupid... I don't do arrogant... and I don't do rude. LOL

I'm not saying this casually, because I think you actually care and won't blow it off, but read Romans 8:5-8

5Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace, 7because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8Those controlled by the fleshd cannot please God.​

The unsaved sinner has his mind set on the flesh and so he walks in the flesh. The saved 'sinner' has his mind set on the Spirit, because he has the Spirit, and so he walks in the Spirit. That's the difference between the saved and unsaved person. The unsaved person's struggle is with righteousness. The saved person's struggle is with unrighteousness. Each of us has to examine ourselves to see which battle we're engaged in.

The Unsaved man has one “ Dog” in Him.....a Black One( representing the old, adamic nature) .....The Saved man has Two Dogs in Him .....that Black one and a White One( representing the Holy Spirit— Given to the man when he became a Believer in Jesus) .....they will be at war constantly as long as the man is alive in a Body Of Flesh ( this represents Spiritual Warfare—- ever hear of it? ) Some Times The Black Dog will win and sometimes the White dog will win .Whichever Dog is FED the most will dominate......A wise man will feed the White Dog with Bible Study and Prayer and be rewarded for it and an unwise man will continue to feed the Black Dog with neglecting the things of God and giving into temptations regularly and reap Punishment for doing these things.....

Perhaps you like being punished and hate being rewarded .....sane men will do the opposite and that old Black Dog will get smaller and smaller with time.....

What do those cookies look like? More important, what do they taste like? Mmmm!

Euell Gibbons ( Anybody Remember Him? ) said it taste just like “ wild hickory nuts”......

WE disagree with what an unsaved sinner is... I believe an unsaved sinner is one who does not believe Jesus Christ is God.
A saved sinner is someone who believes Jesus is God.
I don't know of many if any people who boast about being a Christian and outright defend living in SIN.

I would tend to agree with you on this.... those single people excusing LIVING together ( for whatever reason is WRONG )... and that seems to be one area that has gone to the dogs so to speak... I am all for Christian purity... and the pastor of my last church would NOT marry someone who was living together... HE never went as far as to banish anyone from attending church... but he was very clear on this issue.. and he would not marry someone who had previously been married... so there are churches out there that are conducting their duties properly... they are just far and few between...

Now about you bringing that bear poop to our picnic.... LOL

No man can say “ Jesus is Lord” Without the Holy Spirit in Him.....THAT may sound like a “ low bar” for being a Christian.....But “That” is how you know somebody is a Christian..... If you have the Holy Spirit in you, you are a permanently saved Christian......without this Spirit ? ......you are “None Of His”

You want that Saving Spirit ? Simply Believe and REST in Pauls Gospel , given to him by Jesus and found in 1Cor15:1-4.......Don’t Add Anything to that Gospel lest you “ FallFrom Grace”....Read the small Book Of Galatians.....

Not sure why you are quoting me on this....

This contradicts sound doctrine:

"He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." (Matthew 10:37)

"And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me." (Matthew 10:38)

"So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:" (2 Thessalonians 1:4-5)

"Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy." (Revelation 3:4)

Do as you wish.....as for me, I am “ MADE WORTHY by the Blood Of The Lamb” .....He took my sins and in turn I got His Righteousness .....
What a Deal ! What a Savior !
It’s called Christianity 101.....

The comment that sticks out the most to me... in the entire argument here is... I am better than the drunk down the street.
That is the biggest problem with legalism... I am thinking of my legalistic aunt as I write this.... she is FULL of self-righteousness
and pride... just like Ferris has displayed... I think it is the trademark of a legalist... and like I said earlier... that is the problem... that stinking thinking that misleads you to believe you are BETTER than.

I am so grateful... that I know my position in HIM... and I pray that I am daily able to abase myself to the best position of all which
is at the FEET of MY SAVIOUR.

Wrong.

Case open!

"And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;" (Colossians 1:21-23)

“if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries." (Hebrews 10:26-27)

“ Anybody that asks to be Saved WILL be saved”..... if one must “ continue “ and “ be not moved away” , they WILL “ continue” if they have ever asked to be Saved.....God’s Word is at stake and God can not lie.....whatever God demands......God provides.....

Your misinterpretation Of Hebrews 10 is inexcusable in this day and age.....I’m not explaining it again....sorry...

I think you realize you've been wrong about this but you can't find it in yourself to bend to the truth.


Gee.....you Read me like a book———————————NOT !!!

LOL.... you make me laugh.... but I am sad that you and Truman did not hit it off... He is my twin...you HAVE to like him... lol

I think he needs to get to know your style... It takes some digesting... HA

Congratulations and salutations @Ferris Bueller and @amigo de christo for being an Oasis of logic and beacons of Christian truth!
I also have to commend your patience for dealing....I will just say dealing...good job.
I love humor and I am a student of appreciating irony. People that think that Christians are dirty rags....and for that reason there is no reason to even try to stop sinning and all manner of sin will be in heaven....funny or ironic or both? Nope I think it is stupid.
On an international forum where the message of the Bible is condemned as legalistic....funny or ironic or sad?
On an international forum where the belief that Christians should be good and do good is ridiculed....funny or ironic or sad?
Anyway, Gold Star for the two of you. You brothers have always had a good perspective and understanding of the Christian faith and spirit.

No, best worker:

"...and each will be rewarded according to his own labor." 1 Corinthians 3:8​

I wouldn't even show up to a 'best Christian' awards ceremony. I wouldn't even watch it on YouTube. I'd just ask you later how it went, lol.

Between this and the bear poop.... I would say that you are getting a bit SNIDE with the remarks... lol

Spent enough time here yesterday.... This is a new day... and one of which I do not desire to associate with the legalists.
