All I ask is to be able to discuss and have a conversation with other followers of Jesus without you harassing me, without you butting in and destroying the continuity of discussions.
Therefore, here is my offer:
Allow me to have conversation with others ONLY on the threads I start by staying completely off any thread I start and I give you my word, I will leave all your threads and posts alone in all other threads.
I think what you're requesting is honorable. I hope prophetic will oblige so we can have peace and hopefully learn from each other, including through this experience.
Personally, I don't mind conversing with either of you, but hopefully we can do it in an organized fashion. I think there is more to gain that way or the value of what we have to share is amplified.
All I'm asking is prophetic leave Topic Threads that I start alone. Allow me one place of peace to have vibrant and edifying conversations with other believers.
I'm just asking for ONE place of peace!
In fact I'll go one better: I will not post more than one New Topic per first page.
Chuckles: As long as you spread your Satanic garbage on this Christian Forum I feel obligated to contest it with God's Word. Everyone of your arguments are the very opposite of what born again Christians believe and what the New Covenant of Faith and Love teaches.
2 Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Can we at least try one day of peace? I'm in North Carolina, and a new day has just started. Can we try for 24 hours?
Let's study before God and rightfully divide the word of truth, and let's do it in a manner that brings glory to God.
God brought us all here for a reason. Let's not return it to Him as ash. Let's gain from it. I believe God's hand is in this. We just gotta be like clay so God can mold ALL of us here.
TOTH, I sure appreciate you wanting to keep things peaceful. I believe posting to the “glory of God” is a worthy goal. Thanks for the timely reminder.
Often I must double or triple check my posts before pressing send and sometimes decide not to press because the contents of my post might be unnecessarily rude.
Other times, I wish I could take things back that I hastily posted —unfortunately the CDFF site is not like the more advanced sites which allow posters to remove or revise foot-in-the-mouth or rude comments. So it just behoves me to think longer and much harder before posting.
But speaking of the “glory of God” (which is commendable), I believe exposing historic heresies certainly glorifies God. In fact, we’re commanded to expose false teaching and the false teachers who teach them.
I was looking at some of the ways Jesus, the prophets and the apostles exposed false teaching and some of that isn’t very pretty.
Jesus, in fact, calls false teachers names like hypocrite, full of hypocrisy and lawlessness, serpents, vipers, sons of hell, persecutors and murderers of God’s people, whitewashed tombs, fools, sons of hell, blind guides, robbers and self-indulgent.
Unfortunately Jesus’s words are so out-of-sync with some of today’s theological tolerance discourses that many liberal theologians accuse the apostles, who were eye witnesses of Jesus, with exaggeration or over intensification. Of course these modern false teachers would want to deny Jesus’ piecing words because those words hit too close to home.
Nevertheless, God’s grace, mercy and salvation extends even to false teachers who repent of their false teaching. Yes, Jesus wanted even them to come to repentance!!!
I mention all that TOTH, as I seek a balance between peace and duty.
I think it’s a Christian duty, (commanded in scripture), to gently and graciously instruct those who’ve been deceived by false teaching but I also believe it’s just as much a Christian duty, (commanded in scripture), to expose certain stubborn unteachable people for the false teachers they really are—just like the prophets, Jesus and the apostles exposed them.
My beliefs although Jewish, are NOT in conflict with the New Testament teachings of Y'shua nor are they "Satanic"
What are some of the teachings of Chuckles and Judiasim:
**We get salvation by doing good works and keeping OT Laws. Our salvation is completely dependent on us. We are the captain of our souls.
**BUT WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY**??
**SALVATION IS 100% FREE**
Titus 3:3,4: At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and **LOVE** of God our Savior appeared , He saved us, **NOT BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUS THINGS WE HAD DONE**, but because of **HIS MERCY**!!
John 1:12,13: To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, **NOR OF A HUMAN DECISION** or a husband's will but, **BORN OF GOD**!!
John 6:37,39,44,65: Jesus says, "**ALL** that the Father gives Me **WILL** come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will **NEVER** drive away... And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall **LOSE NONE** of all that He has given Me, but raise them up at the Last Day.... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father who sent Me **DRAWS HIM**, and I will raise him up at the Last Day!!... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father has **ENABLED THEM**!!"
Ephesians 2:8,9: For it is by **GRACE** you have been saved, through **FAITH**—and this **NOT FROM YOURSELVES**, it is the **GIFT OF GOD**—not by works. So that no one can boast. For we are **GOD'S WORKMANSHIP**, created in Christ Jesus to do **GOOD WORKS**, which God prepared in advance for us to do!
**CHUCKLES ALSO TEACHES THAT JESUS IS NOT GOD**
**BUT WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY**
Isaiah 9:6: For unto us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor and **MIGHTY GOD**!
John 1:1-3,18: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Go, and the **WORD WAS GOD**. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that as been made...
No one has ever seen God, but the One and only Son, who is **HIMSELF GOD** and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made Him known!
Hebrews 1:6,8: When God brings His firstborn into the world He says, "Let all God's angels **WORSHIP HIM**.... About the Son He says, "Your throne, **O GOD**, will last for ever and ever, a scepter of justice will be the scepter of **YOUR KINGDOM**!"
Titus 2:13,14: We wait for the **BLESSED HOPE**--the glorious appearing of our **GREAT GOD AND SAVIOR**, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify a people that are **HIS VERY OWN**, eager to do what is good!!
How about we all just get along? After that, we can look at things on a point-by-point basis by those who want to participate. That is what I would suggest.
Calling each other out repeatedly isn't going to help anyone. It just ends up being an endless cycle.
I Peter 1:23-25: You have been **BORN AGAIN THROUGH THE LIVING AND ENDURING **WORD OF GOD**!! All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field, the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the **WORD OF THE LORD STANDS FOREVER**. And this is the **WORD** that was preached to you.
2 Timothy 3:15,16: 4:1,2: You have known the **HOLY SCRIPTURES**, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. **ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD-BREATHED** and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom, I give you this charge: **PREACH THE WORD**!! {**WHICH IS THE ENTIRE NEW COVENANT AND NEW TESTAMENT**!!} Be prepared in season and out of season; **CORRECT**, **REBUKE** and **ENCOURAGE** with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people {Like Chuckles} will not put up with sound doctrine!!
