I agree.
They claim dead babies and infants don't go to Heaven. Yet they also say they don't know where they go.

That is not logical.


Amen.
I would say we can nto know the answer.

Does God condemn a baby to hell who never had a chance to recieve Christ?

Does he allow them all in heaven?

or more likely, being a God who knows all things, Does God know who would recieve him if he allowed them to live, and base their eternity on that fact.

We will not know until we see him..

Remember . . . it takes 2 to tango . . .

Much love!
Indeed it does and I won’t have him bullying me into believing as he does, never in a million years.

I will stand my ground...I will also report his harassment of me if he doesn’t stop.

He is forcing me to believe as he does, it’s all over this thread and admin can see that for themselves.

I do not believe as he does and never ever will.not in a million years...

I was chosen and predestined to become Born Again a Honour and a Privilege to be a child of God.

So many other verses point to the will and purpose of God that our salvation has been predestined for some and not others, that our faith is granted to us, and I am not the one twisting the meaning of John 1 to explain a mistaken theology.
Yet you are twisting it by ignoring the plain meaning of it

There is no passage that says God predestined anyone to hell

Yes, it says we are predestined, But you have to understand why we are predestined..

You have to make the word agree.. Your view does nto do this, your view causes it to contradict.

Personal accusations are appearing frequently on this thread. I take it to mean the person lacks a valid argument, and so descends into these sorts of ad hominem fallacies, arguing against the person instead of the information.

I look at someone who continually makes personal inappropriate comments as lacking in self control. To me this demonstrates the fleshiness of mind. There are too many people on this forum who make it their practice to run others down, and it makes it like a schoolyard playground. Not like a group of Christians!

Much love!
have to wonder what can break their pride

Ah,you've taken no steps forward I see.

I'll speak plainly. Posting an artificial persona inevitably fails.Because it is not truth.

Anyone who insists as you do that people read scripture and choose to believe, are fulfilling what the scripture says about the idol that is self.
And you keep taking steps backwards..

I think that is why you think others are not moving forward. you are moving away.

No need to get personal. You are sharing your poor opinions of others, is that good thing?

Much love!
Its part of the ad hominem strawmen thing you said.

when all else fails. attack the one who disagrees with you. because its all you have

Perhaps consider some of your own statements?

I think in terms of fences. Good fences make for good neighbors. On my side of the fence is what I think, what I feel, on your side is what you think and what you feel. I do well to speak about what's on my side of the fence, and let you speak about what's on your side of the fence.

Much love!

Give me an example-say if I'm dead wrong on Cessationism how would you go about to correct me? If I'm correct and you disagree, how do I go about correcting you without coming across as "angry?"
Show the word. Ask questions, Explain why you believe the way you do.

Concerning the "you" vs. "I" statements,

"You are ignoring the Scriptures"
"I find this Scripture answers this point"

"You don't get it"
"Let me put this another way"

"You are using carnal understanding"
"I see this passage telling us . . ."

"You are desparate . . ."
"that's how you choose to read it"
"you keep saying all this crap"

"I'm having a hard time seeing how this is relevant"
"I don't see that being said here"


It's not like I can't say "you" without crossing the line, it's what the intent of the statement is. If we are in a peer discussion, this isn't really an issue so much, more so during controversy and disagreement. I see this as a control thing, as a means to "strongarm" the discussion. Or sometimes just throw rocks.

Much love!
Love these. I need to use them as a guide.

All of my posts stand regarding being Born Of The Spirit...I have my belief and you have yours.

Your belief is no more valid than my belief or anyone else’s...now are you going to let this rest?
I will if you do.

but it will never rest. the truth must be shown

You have posted what you believe...I 100 % disagree with your belief and you 100% disagree with my belief..now are you going to let this go?

Or have I got to report your continuous bullying me to believe as you believe..I don’t and 100% never will.

Are we done?
report away

I am not bearing false witness. I am having a discussion.

A disagreement is not bullying..

No, I disagreed with your belief system it’s one 100% opposite to mine.

What you posted has nothing to do with being Born Again.

Only a Born Again will see the Kingdom Of God.

The Spirit indwells my spirit and when my body dies, I will see God in his full Glory..Spirit to spirit.
you said this
Show me scripture where God says my souls goes back to God...I will then rest my case and stand corrected.
I showed you where the soul goes to God

You failed to rest your case and stand corrected. You instead blame shifted, ignored what you really said, and tried to change the subject by saying you said something else.

How many times do I have to prove you in error because you will humble yourself?

Your truth you mean.

Why are you so desperately trying to show me your truth...that is your truth.

Do not I repeat do not force me to believe in your freewill as you do...

I was chosen and predestined to become Born Again and I will “ NEVER” deny this...you don’t understand what it means to be chosen ok...no problem.
You believe you freely had a conversation with God and told him when he could make you Born Again..none of that is biblical..

How I became Born Again is Biblical....and I have posted scripture to support my testimony...

I am not bullying you..
I will stand my ground...I will also report his harassment of me if he doesn’t stop.
Sharing the word is not harrasment, I am not bearing false witness and lieing about what I or other people are sying.
He is forcing me to believe as he does, it’s all over this thread and admin can see that for themselves.
I can;t force anyone to do anything, all I can do is share what I see.
I do not believe as he does and never ever will.not in a million years...
Oh I think you will one day.. I just pray it is not too late by then
I was chosen and predestined to become Born Again a Honour and a Privilege to be a child of God.
I was too. Because God knew in his foreknowledge I would recieve him.. and not reject him
