Oh, I now how you all are united. And his name is Lucifer.

My testimony to fellow beings: "Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe;
sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow!"
To Him be the Glory
And now I’m expecting to hear J. Vernon McGee and Through The Bible Radio!
So you've never sinned? That quite presumptuous on your part.
These are different denominations of doctrinal understandings, not different Christs. And there are non-catholic, non-protestant, non-denominational local assemblies meeting in the Name of Jesus, following His Word, obeying the Great Commission, and of whom I believe are the True Churches of Christ on earth.
People could do a lot worse than that!
"True Chuches"? How many of your "churches" are out there?
Jesus Christ founded One Church.
So let me see if I understand this. Hitler systematically murdered millions of Jews, and metmom invited fellow believers to an instructive conversation about the blessed state of being forgiven of sin, and somewhere in there I’m supposed to find an analogy? You may have topped it. I thought I had seen it all. But this is an extraordinary achievement. I cannot think of anything less likely to objectively communicate hatred than a forgiven person sharing with others the joyful though that we can know real forgiveness now in Christ.
So just off hand, I’d say your mindreading antennae need some fine-tuning. Sounds about 180 degrees out of phase, and you might be missing an important signal or three.

Yes, a breathtaking and tragic example of the folly of making unfounded assumptions about what is in another person’s heart. We are not required to be willfully ignorant of real danger, but as Paul says, love thinks no evil. Wise as serpents, harmless as doves.

You don't understand. And I'm sorry that you don't.
No “unfounded assumptions”. Just her posting history.
So to whom do you confess your sins to receive forgiveness?
My FRiend, you evince so little knowledge of Who God is, and what His salvation plan is, that I cry aloud, weeping for you and for your utter blindness in the face of so much light.
Ah-h-h-h-h-h! A-a-a-a-a-a-h-h-h!
Your religion and your catechism do not seem to have imparted one iota of the mind of God, which He has given to be read of by all! Why do you think that we on FR who trust in Christ alone have such love for one another, though we come from all over the globe? Eh? And try and try and try to break through to you with the gift of absolute abundant eternal life and fellowship in The Lord?
Oh, your condition is so pitiable. Would you not at least let someone lead you down the "Romans Road"?
Peace,
SR
The person whom I’ve offended, of course.
Peace,
SR
Weep for yourselves, but not for me.
And how can one confess to the baby she's aborted?
Oh, I now how you all are united. And his name is Lucifer.
Who can convey our sorrow for such a sin to the ears of that dead child but God Himself? And whom have we most offended in violently attacking one made in God’s image? God again. And so we have no recourse in such a case but to make our appeal for forgiveness to Him. And of all those who come to Him, He will not cast out a single one. We have His word on it.
My question to you: Jesus spoke of two men in the Temple. To whom did the sinner appeal, the one who could not look to Heaven, but cried out, “God be merciful to me a sinner?” And to follow that up, which of the two men did Jesus say went home justified?
Peace,
SR
That Church is in another dimension, another sphere, of which other participants here are aware and have tried to show you.
The human whose spirit is reborn through the planted Seed of the Word is baptized by the instrumentality of the Spirit of God into one body, into the festal assembly and church of the Firstborn, the host of angels and of redeemed humans whose names are written in heaven (Heb. 12:22-24); and made to drink into one Spirit (1 Cor. 12:13).
Jesus said, "My Kingdom is not of this world!" (Jn. 18:36).
The visible gospel assemblies on earth are but way-stations, vestibules of intake and screening for that great invisible Assembly already gathered and always in session in Heaven. Indeed, one becames a part of that heavenly Kingdom of God which is invisuble to the human eye, but very tangible to spiritual discernment.
The visble churches on earth are melanges of pure and impure humans, some of whom are possessors of eternal life, and others who are only professors of that gift, but who will be sorted out by the Lord on His return.
But in my estimation, it is the one denomination that claims itself and only itself to be "The One True Church," is not; and is so soiled, no matter what the earthly garments it wears, can never be.
It is the resort to which those who will not give themselves over to Jesus alone, through faith in His shed Blood alone, in faith alone, will find a fleeting home there,and occupation in its religious appurtenances abd rituals, which is but a portal to a fiery death.
And despite its claim, it is one not founded by Jesus The Christ, but rather by the god of this world, and staffed by his blinded children (2 Cor. 4:3-4).
Not everyone, apparently, believes the words of Jesus and Scripture. They must think Jesus lied when He said those who believed in him HAVE eternal life.
