Quote something I said, then agree or disagree, explaining why. Don't start a dozens-of-comments-long "high five comments" chain reaction, which suppresses the discussion, because all people see is "I agree with you when you disagree with the OP" rather than actual careful treatment of the material I set forth in MY thread.
Its more than that, The power in us to live and do comes from the HS. With out the HS you can not do anything.
@Rita Here this individual devolves once again into "anyone who disagrees with me doesn't have the Holy Spirit" instead of quoting what I've stated and interacting with that material. Instead, they devolve into "so-and-so is not spiritual, amen, yes brother, amen, yes brother, amen, i agree, woohoo, amen, yes, amen" without treating the material.
You need to cite something I've stated, then agree or disagree with it. It isn't a general question about eternal life, it is a very specific claim.
It's not relevant. It is tangential. The reason you get off on tangents is because you refuse to quote what I've stated, and show why it is wrong. Instead, you generalize and flood my thread with what ever tangential material you want. Quote what I've stated, then show why I have gotten it wrong.
Yeah, you quoted Romans 8 where it says the carnally minded cannot please God--the same thing you did in another thread, saying that people who do not have the Spirit don't accept things of the Spirit, and that that explained why I disagreed.
What this discussion does NOT need is you FLOODING it, SUPPRESSING it, with endless "preaching to the choir" and "high five" comments.
You've definitely FLOODED my discussion with tangential inanity, but what you have not done is specifically responded to me.
Brother, this scripture speaks to me , because I was once unregenerate......therefore wouldn’t of had a clue what the word of God was saying....I was unregenerate...therefore wouldn’t of had a clue either, of how to remain in the true vine...Jesus......
Yeah, in a previous thread, you, together with many other users, started a very long, and very empty, "high five" and "preaching to the choir" chain of posting images and gifs of beating a dead horse, of beating a dog, which was supposedly an explanation for why I disagreed--"he doesn't have life in him".
As you can see, if you read through what has ensued, the users didn't care to listen to what you said; instead, they FLOODED my discussion with dozens of empty or tangential "oh yes, brother" "amen, brother" "yes, i agree, brother", bouncing their pointless congratulations to one another, but not QUOTING what I've said or interacting directly with specific claims I'd made. This is what discussions with them always devolve into. They also post their own material, points they want to make, instead of opening their own threads, and doing that there. They do not interact with specific claims I've made. Then, the "oh yes brother", "high five" comments, emptiness ensues, which further suppresses the material I've put forth and want interaction with.
Since you have placed me on ignore, according to your private message you went out of your way to send to me to let me know you put me on ignore, you are not addressing the topic (which would require you addressing me), so, I would ask that you start your own thread and hold a discussion there instead of commandeering my thread, which is rude and disorderly.
