Paul wrote this for you, Phil: Romans 8:7
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.

No surprise.

But you insisted no believer would answer your question. I answered it simply and directly.

You appear to simply be cult blinded by your life experience.

Nor am I arguing with you, because no one is argued into the kingdom… and the Scripture is illumined to the saved.

The unsaved can’t understand it. I suspect strongly, based only on what you wrote, that you do not have salvation. And if not, you certainly won’t understand the unity of God’s Word - or it’s meaning. This is spiritually discerned. The natural mind cannot accept it.

So I simply release you back into the wild, where you can participate in your chosen (false) religion.

And perhaps God may grant you the grace - in His chosen moment - to open your eyes to His amazing grace and draw you to Himself.

May it be so, and soon! The days are short… and I wish you eternal life.

You always know how to reach me when that day comes.

I wish you well.

Why do you insist on focusing on Ravi Zacharias so pridefully?


He’s just a convenient Christian poster boy that fits your Satanic, false OSAS paradigm to a tee.

How many of my sins or Ravi's were in the future when Jesus died upon the cross?

How weak is the god you believe in that He needs your filthy rags to clean you up and abide in your human spirit, tio await the moment when He removes all of His before pouring out His wrath on the unbelieving world?

Does Phuil believe eternal life can begin before death overtakes him?

Why did John tell us God abides in the spirit of those who are vborn again in the now?

Why were the believers called Christians at Antioch?

Are you sinless, Phil?

Do you even start to comprehend what Paul explained, that when we are born again in the now we have the righteousness of Christ IMPUTED to us?

Can a spirit with God abiding therein commit sin? If so, how does the yo-yo trick get Him Presence back?

Do you, like Catholics, believe Jesus established the seventh day adventist religion?

How do you think God will deal with your effort to divert attention to Ravi rather than Phil? Think, ***son***, your eternity is teetering in the balance.


Look, Gramps, you have no idea what you are talking about. Everyone knows that no matter how many times Ravi raped those women, made them give him happy endings, used his position to get them into bed, or committed adultery on his wife, he’s still going to heaven. Sin doesn’t apply to Born Againers. You already told me that, so it must be true. There’s a crown up there right now with Ravi’s name on it, albeit missing a few jewels and gold because of the rapes, etc... (sarc)

I thought you told me never to ping you? I was pretty surprised that you ping’d me to be honest.

I didn’t know that Catholics believed Jesus established the SDA religion. That’s news to me.

Poster Boy Ravi did, and he was saved by grace.

Sorry Phil, you are again WRONG. Ravi’s flesh nature sinned. If he was born again his spirit could not sin because The God would be abiding therein. That is your stuymbling stone, Phil.

Then maybe someone should have told (that fella) Paul not to write what he did in Hebrews 10 about people who THINK they commit sin and hide behind the blood of the covenant and grace. Explain that if you can.

If he was born again....


Are you telling all of us that he wasn’t?

How foolish do you want to appear, Phil? ‘If’ is not a declarative. Your mind is truly warped, Phil.

If you find yourself ready to come to Him for salvation, pm me. Or if you are moving toward Him and would like a conversation to sort things out.

Best

It’s no surprise you said this. It makes you a Nicolaitan, pure and simple. Using God’s grace to justify a free pass on willful, non-repentant sin will cause many born againers to lose their salvation.

“What is the penalty for unrepentant sin?” (despite being saved by grace) has either been a non-answer, gobbledygook, a funny meme, or Satan influenced Kabuki theater

I've seen this kind of behavior before...

Lessee...

Was it in #192 or #175???

 

or maybe 225?

Tsk tsk tsk, there you go again. Once a human being is born again, they cannot become unborn. If you need help with this, start at John 3 and Jesus’s conversation with Nicodemus. Note if you can that Jesus refers Nic back to the serpent on the pole in the desert. There is deep meaning there which apparently you either have yet to grasp or have decided to reject. After you get that passage studied, I will give you more. But know this, Phil, your bullying, baiting, and efforts to promote false witness are exposing a very bad spirit in you. God can take care of that predicament, if you will let Him do it: faithful is he that calletyh you for He will also do it; many are called but few are chosen; so if many are called why are sop few chosen? ... Because they refuse to let HIM do the work because their pride insists they aren’t so bad as to need absolute Grace.

And I’ll make sure to do the same (pm you) when the MOTB issue is about ready to hit the earth. That will validate everything I have claimed as the truth (also, look for the revealing of the Ark of the Covenant as well, exactly where Ron Wyatt said it was...)

Until then, (or the next time you send me something out of the blue)

Regards

Hebrews 10 (Paul) says the exact opposite. Are you calling Paul a liar?
