MS you are correct YOU specifically did not refer to Spurgeon as a heretic. For that I sincerely apologize. You do however tag team with ladybug regularly on your mutual dislike for John from UK. I also missed the part in the passage I linked to ‘in a Church building’. We are all the Church. Neither of you are ‘discussing opinions’. You are railing. Creating derision feeding your pride. It troubles my Spirit and humbly ask you repent and stop. I will obey the Word and not be quarrelsome. Have the last word. Christ be with you both. God bless.
Read Ephesians 2:8-10. ‘ For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.’ — Ephesians 2:8-10
Good works are all throughout the New Testament. Repentance is best explained as a change of mind that LEADS to a change in action. If the life of sin continues repentance and salvation never took place. The good ground, the wise virgins, the good tree, it goes on and on. I had to refrain with much patience last time when you called Charles Spurgeon a heretic. I fear for you. I will pray for you both.
Lady bug and MS I would love to know your take on this passage. ‘A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.’ — 1 Timothy 2:11-14
You consistently come on the forum and cause derision speaking down to men older then you on subjects not handled correctly. That verse you linked was a fantastic one speaking of repentance being a gift of God.
Chris I just want to throw out there that Trump is loud and clear that he supports the lgbt agenda. Christians need to stop pretending Trump is not pro sodomy.
No sir I serve up to three times a week with men from Apologia ( who made the documentary) and it has always been gospel first. Sorry for hijacking the question brother Michael.
Thank you Dr. Tim for your gracious response. It gives me pause to stop and think. I pray your family issues are improving through Gods grace. I will continue to pray for you and our nation.
Fair question. Why didn’t he do that his first four years? Why does he use terms like ‘extreme’ abortions for late term infanticide? They are all extreme and wicked. Why did his first stimulus package grant planned parenthood 80 million dollars? Why did it give the Roman Catholics 1.6 to 3.5 billion dollars to bail them out of their sex scandals? Why do my Christian brothers and sisters turn a blind eye to his bold and proud stance in support of sodomites? I pray that Christians in this Country would wake up to this false paradigm. Trump calls Biden a socialist and then proceeds to pass not one but two socialist stimulus packages. Both of these men are puppets and the media is playing most of the population. We have one King. The Lord Jesus Christ. He rules and reigns. We are not of this world and our eyes should be fixed on our country. The city built without hands whose maker and builder is God.
Dr. Tim I may disagree with you on some things. I do have to say though that your last comment was full of Grace and Truth. I thank you for understanding the freedom we all have in Christ. I will pray for your family issues as I have been watching them unfold. I also pray that Johns health continues to improve. God bless you both.
I go to clinics at least twice a week to preach the gospel. Ephesians 5 clearly says ‘ do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness but instead even expose them’. What is unbiblical exactly about preaching the gospel to those dead in sin who are participating in child sacrifice? I don’t recommend what I do for every Christian but it is sad to see such a downplay on trying to stand against something God hates with the gospel. What I find unbiblical is all the bickering on here day in and out over the lost worlds false left right paradigm of ‘politics’.
I work in construction and let me tell you these numbers are much higher then the survey says. Many smoke on the job site. Most guys I know on the job smoke pot. They have synthetic urine they carry in their lunch box that passes all drug tests.
Brother Michael please don’t stop pleading for those dead in their sin at these locations. Lord willing I will continue to do so at the mills by me. Grace and peace be multiplied to you.
Yes I take your correction this is what I meant.Probably was a typo. It is popular today to stand up to the popular world opinion and be praised for it but there is a day coming when we all will stand before a Righteous God and He will have the final say. Thank you for the correction.
People are forgetting that there is a Great Judgment to come and then it will be only them and God Almighty. No audience to pamper to for greater adulation and publicity.
I think at this time the United Kingdom needs a party like the DUP to remind the UK parliament of its Christian heritage . We need to pray that God works in this alliance . They seem to be the only people brave enough to stand up for biblical values in politics these days .
