again and again i hear this

[Corn Pop]

Believing Christ is truth. I cannot ask Christ for forgiveness more than once, thats putting Christ to shame and putting him back on the cross, and believing that he failed the first time and having a lack of faith.

But you can confess your sins correct? I think we all would say we are guilty of sinning against God by not showing love to another at least once since we became believers.

True but I dont confess my sins, i fail sometimes but i have faith Christ did not fail, enough faith to know he forgives me and loves me no matter what. I dont need to put him on the cross again.

Jas_5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
1Jn_1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I already done that, confessed my sins and asked for forgivessness and he is faithful and just to forgive me and cleanse me, no need to put Christ to shame over and over again.

No problem, if a brother has an issue with another brother work it out and appologise and be healed together and walk together in light.

So is the same for Christ. But I dont believe I need to ask Christ for forgiveness more than once because I know he forgives.

Sorry to hear your line of thinking.. Tis your right to think as you wish...

SWMBO was telling me a current story...

#BipartisanRoadtrip

About two congressman who couldn't catch a flight to Washington DC from Texas. So they Livestream their road trip to DC. Apparently the guys may be from across the aisle from each other but became friends.

So if these guys/politicians can...

We, I wish I were not guilty but if I did I would be a liar. Just recently, the Holy Spirit put me under conviction about this also and I neeg to learn to control my tongue and my finger tips.

 

[reba]

We can start right here in this forum to control our tongue and finger tips ... th1b.taylor you are not alone... As we pray for this site and each other lets us put our faith inot action... and correct a few things to His glory..

I have recently ask the question; "If Christ paid for the sin of the whole world, then, it is unbelief that brings condemnation, not sins of commission nor sins of omission. Those sins will break the fellowship between God and the believer, but does nothing to the relationship between God and the believer. We are still heirs and joint-heirs with Christ. Once there is a relationship established between God and the believer at the point of faith, that relationship is eternal and can never be broken. edited reba

"After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes... "

Wow a multitude of people so big no man could even number who were clean. (wearing white robes) from all nations and peoples and language.


"The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!"

"He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world."

 

[JohnDB]

But don't you guys understand?

I'm the most important person currently walking the Earth that Jesus has.

It's all about me and MY teaching.

God wants everyone to follow ME....



Whew!
Thank God I don't believe that.

 

[civilwarbuff]

It is so very sad... .. tis nothing new this preachers kid grew up hearing it.. in this form or that ... like a flock of vultures on road kill

is how we look to the world...

most of us here should/could lean how to talk to one another just by reading how the guys in the scriptures talked to others... Here on this board Chopper has gone out of his way to be kind in disagreement .
His posting have tugged at my heart to apply God given grace to others ..

The world should not be rightfully saying those Christians are so hateful to one another .. Reading here, sadly we know it is true..

1Co 13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
1Co 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
1Co 13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
1Co 13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

The problem seems to be when one person wants to prove their theological position right and all others wrong; it leaves no room for critical listening and even acknowledging that another's POV has value and merit. God does not speak to all of us with the same voice......

I see ,get, give the same heart hurts here as i did as young preachers kid.. We should embrace each other hold each other up.. encourage
i am not ever leaving out the need for correction.. but there are ways to do so.. that are better then

In the years here at CFnet this segment of the TOS has touch my heart more then once...

2.4: No Trolling. Do not make an inflammatory remark just to get a response. Address issues not personalities. Respect where people are in their spiritual walk, and respect all others in general. Respect where others are in their spiritual walk, do not disrupt the flow of discussion or act in a way that affects others negatively including when debating doctrinal issues, in the defense of the Christian faith, and in offering unwelcome spiritual advice.

Then he nailed all commandments to the cross. People can live out Christ commandments without being told they must obey them but if they think they must obey them sin springs to life like Paul said and we start judging others through the Law and fail to Love and feel guilty. That's my point. Im not saying Jesus commandments are wrong or not valid, but naturally obeying Jesus is alot more pleasing to God than only doing it because he said so.

Dan, my old friend. Most of what you say is true. My point is that the Commandments show the internal delights of our loving God (Elohim). We do not receive our righteousness from obeying God's Commandments, Statues, and Rules. Our righteousness comes from our faith in Christ Jesus. This you are so truly pointing out.

Now, being aware of God's Commands, I learn so very much about what pleases our Lord and why He loves me. When I look at the 10 Commandments in Exodus 20, I see a lot of moral instructions like, don't have sex with my neighbors wife. Jesus also spoke about this and the Apostles did as well. So, I know you well enough, you rascal, that you aren't going to go after your neighbors wife because God has written these things on your heart.

So my Kiwi friend, because you love Jesus so very much, you will obey God's Commands out of your heart because He is your life, just as He is my life.

Love you Dan.

I do believe the rule of law is the serpants fruit and the Mark of the beast that has bound the world in chains and where man rules over man, that every person has because all have been and are under there nations law, and it goes back to babylon, the trade center of the world buying and selling.

From Babylon to what we have in the world today has consumed the whole earth. Every day the world and its leaders are passing laws thinking its going to be a solution to everything but it justs the King of Babylon sitting on his throne.

There is just too much reference pointing to it in scripture. And even just this one statement from Paul.

"Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!” These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings".

The born again and Kingdom of God walk free and the spiritual law is written on the heart, where the Spirit is there is Liberty. It started from the rule of law before Adam through to the 10 commandments and has turned into a billion laws and rules world wide through all nations, cultures and religions, all conflicting, all claiming there way is good, there way is peace, there rules are peace. All made by man ruling over man, as the serpant ruling over man. Every law is a do not for someone or something.

Of course we still must live under our nations law, but spiritualy we are free. Where the Spirit is there is Liberty. In the world not of the world.

This world is Man ruling over Man. All it does is bring judgement.

Bingo, you are on the narrow path. But "Christianity" doesn't want to hear it, can't handle it. "Christianity" is about "correct doctrine," My Bible Verses vs. Your Bible Verses, sacred and secular judgment of every form and at every turn. "Christianity" is a hollow fraud, nothing but a microcosm of the world at large. Your final sentences could be rephrased as: "Christianity" is Man ruling over Man. All it does is bring judgment. "Christians" are so invested in "Christianity" that the narrow path is invisible to them. They are invested in "Christianity" in the same way they are invested in their careers, their finances, and every other aspect of worldly ego-fulfillment. "Christianity" is as "of the world" as Microsoft or McDonald's, and non-Christians can see and smell this sad reality. "Christianity" is an industry, a political agenda, pretty much anything you want to call it except "a narrow path to God."

"Christians" think they can become more Christ-like merely by doing things such as putting on a mask of niceness, referring to fellow "Christians" they actually despise as "brother" and non-"Christians" they actually despise as "friend," without ever coming to grips with the inner venom that continually seeps through the cracks in the mask. That's the misguided premise of this thread, that becoming more Christ-like is a matter of wearing the proper mask, being "nicer." The mask always crumbles in less time than it took to put it on, as it crumbles on every thread on these forums and always will. This one didn't last 28 posts until the OP was "sorry to hear your line of thinking." But, you see, a Happy Face emoji made everything OK, Brother Dan, my good friend.
