Isaiah 58:6 KJV
[6] Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
It’s finger putting forth breaking time!

Notice what’s happening with the dodging questions and giving honest answers . God commands us to let our yes be yes and no be no. Also we are commanded to give an answer to everyone who asks you as per 1 Peter 3:15. So much for “ spirituality”. We are seeing the flesh and it’s mocking of others.

hope this helps !!!

The body of CHRIST , points to CHRIST . i hope you realize that .
This is like some Oriental "wisdom", i.e., inscrutable. The body of Christ point to itself? The hand swiveled to point to the chest? How about a more reasonable explanation of this riddle?

Yeah...I pretty well have ya'll figured out....sorry to say.


Oh, for sure. I have been doing that..and I just might continue...

Any religion that does that is carnal...sure. The ego doesn't need the truth...any set of beliefs is good for puffing up the ego.

God hides the truth from the ego driven religious types like yourself so that you think the truth is the lie and the lie is the truth.

Cool. huh?

it's God praising:woohoo!: time
No it not cool . the lake of fire is very hot indeed and it awaits all who rejected Christ . My advice is
Preach the one true gospel . GO ye and learn it well . BELIEVE YE IN JESUS CHRIST .
By which ye are saved IF YE KEEP it in memory . Dont let the elites fool ya .
THEY never loved you epi . They use men like you and pope francis and scores of others to bring about a religoin
of common ground that will serve their common goals . Dont fall for it epi .
The way to destruction is very broad , the way to GOD is found in Christ alone .

Why dont you correct epi jim . I aint the one giving out false hope . Seems some folks could care less about what gospel gets
preached these days . As for me , I am gonna point to CHRIST ALONE PEROID . i honestly do not care
if folks hate me for it . I had rather have pointed to Christ than to have fallen for a lie and given any man or woman
a false hope in this dead end fake world religoin of all inclusivity . Bark up that tree for a bit will ya .
Or do you follow that path too . I always thought you believed one had to believe in JESUS to be saved .
Dont prove me wrong on that one jim . DEFEND THAT GOSPEL .

You are trying to shift a discussion of the meaning of this passage of Scritpure into a discussion about me, in which you merely give personal negative statements.

You seem truly allergic to a real discussion about this passage. You've avoided it steadfastly for a long time now, even though you post a thread specifically on this! Why? Why is it so important to you to appear to want to discuss this, but then not really do that?

Much love!
Ditto

You are indeed trying to stack the deck with underhanded techniques....the way you read the bible.

Virtual signalling. Self -righteous rant.
i honestly do not care
if folks hate me for it . I had rather have pointed to Christ than to have fallen for a lie and given any man or woman

Play to the crowd.

Or do you follow that path too . I always thought you believed one had to believe in JESUS to be saved .
Dont prove me wrong on that one jim . DEFEND THAT GOSPEL .

I know that one has to believe in Jesus to be saved.

You certainly don't give out false hope; you give out no hope! You are perpetually criticizing the body of Christ -- and you will answer for it!

To whom and/or what are you referring? And again (despite your excuses) you don't even care enough about communicating to write in reasonable, coherent English? Why should anyone pay attention to what you write when you don't even care about communication?

Look up what "virtue-signalling' is'? You are all about self...and ego...and that's why you are popular with the other religious egos here. As in...come on guys...let's self-justify to knock this brother down... Its a carnal technique to justify oneself by looking down on others for not saying something virtuous sounding as fast as you. You are smokescreening here to cover up your unwillingness to see what you are doing. Go to an atheist site...and point to the cross ALL day. Whatever way you think you are accomplishing something.

God can see you...and you will answer for every puffed up claim and every slander you have slung. :backtop:


noun

derogatory
noun: virtue signalling
  1. the public expression of opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one's good character or social conscience or the moral correctness of one's position on a particular issue.
    "it's noticeable how often virtue signaling consists of saying you hate things"
If someone pointing to the cross all day is a problem for you that is revealing. Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad
