Ooops. I think you just sinned....and still are. Let's see if I can be a legalist too.
"You and your ilk are part of the apostasy..." - How should we handle "apostates?" "If any man doesn't obey our word by this epeistle...note that man...have no company with him...yet count him NOT as an enemy...but admonish him as a brother." (2 Thess 3:14, 15). Saying "of your ilk" violates that and is Sin. God will not honor that."
July 8th - "O my gosh....this is betrayal." - Gosh is the same as God. It's a cheap way around using the real word...usually by leagalists. It violates the command to not use the Lord's name in vain (emptiness).
July 4th: "yeah...what kind of BS is this! " - WOW! I think we all know what you meant. So...how do you justify that? Is this not filthy communication out of your mouth (Col 3:8)? Would you not consider this corrupt communication (Eph 4:29) since it doesn't edify. Would it be considered filthy talking (Eph 5:4)? Seems rotten to me...
June 5th - "wow, and you are for freedom? you are sounding like a real jerk." - Hmmm...see above verses. But if this person was a believer...FOUL. If this person was an unbeliever...FOUL. "Let your light so shine before men..." Matt 5:16
June 2nd - "Well, the truth is out! But they don’t give a shit...we need to take our nation back!" - WOW! See posts ABOVE. I suppose you don't sin anymore when you don't call anything sin. However...I have a VERY HARD time believing...no matter HOW you respond to this...that if Jesus Christ was to appear before you...and you two were walking and a field together...you would look down and say "Careful Lord...watch out for that big pile of fresh bull Sh*&! Look me in the keyboard and tell me you would say it just like that without the slightest hesitation. Then it's sin.
May 19 - "Yeah...free my ass."
May 4th - "Obama...you can kiss our rear ends!" - While a very popular sentiment, not Biblical. Paul and Peter both give us clear guidance about our leaders. None of which is to tell them to kiss it...
On May 14th you said - "We need to speak honestly and with love in order to be helpful" Yet I see post after post filled with anger, pride, insults. Now...you can certainly see plenty of that in mine as well...No cursing though...but lots of pride and the occasional hint that the person is a moron. However, I am not the person claiming to be without SIN!
I find this very sad. These are only a few of your posts going back a couple of months....and these are just your posts. What are you doing in LIFE? I think what is going on is you have a lack of conviction of sin...and that is dangerous. Believe me...it certainly isn't a lack of sin. The way you treat people is sin (and I am no way a hero in this regard). The way you speak is sin. It is not Glorifying to God. It is full of pride. You just lack conviction.
Thanks for doing the leg work on this.
I was about to start exploring what “sinless” posting looks like, you saved me the work.
O please...writing BS and jerk is not a sin. I am certainly not a mamby pamby christian, you are correct. However, for you in project an anger onto my words is a sin itself. It is not always a sin to say a curse word. Jesus had some pretty powerful words for his day of religious hypocrites. And I have reasoned with you. You and your “ilk” are people who, in the face of the obvious, continue to excuse away sin and water down the wonderful power of the holy spirit. I wish you well, but you and your ilk are indeed a bunch of weak and watered down religious intellectuals. Sorry...you have made that apparent, not anything I have done. Go ahead and judge me wrongly, that is your right.
Just for your info..
my ass...jerk...ilk...do not equal sins. If they were said in resentment, or hate, yes. But they were not. You seem to know my attitude just by the written word which actually all have imparted my strongly held beliefs. Shame on you man. I will add HYPOCRITE to the descriptions...for YOU. : )
what you did here is take some of my admittedly strong words and isolated them without the real denial and such that I was dealing with...creating a certain perception that you wanted to create. One would have to read the actual conversation to be honest about any opinion of anger that you say I supposedly had. Shame on you again...this actually is a tactic the leftist media does a lot with conservatives. THe bottom line in all of this and is something nobody here is able to honestly deal with...
1Jn 3:6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. Period!
Amen. I would be most troubled over John's statement, "If we say we have no sin the truth is not in us." Something a person should meditate on. It's not difficult.
