I agree with a lot of things on here. That includes times when I agree with Chuck, Richard, and even you. The part you mentioned about "faith" and "grace" I agree with as well, but the thread was turning into claims of "I can repent later." Really, then when? One of the things Christ said to people was "sin no more." Christ died for our sins. On the cross, Jesus had a man on each side. One understood the depth of who Christ was and the mistakes he had made. What was his future? What was the future of the other man?
Ephesians 4:7,11-13,16: To each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it... **CHRIST HIMSELF** {Not the churches} gives some to be **PROPHETS*, some to be **EVANGELISTS** and some to be **PASTORS** and **TEACHERS**, to equip God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christmay be built up untilk we all reach ubnity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the **FULLNESS OF CHRIST**!... From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament grows and builds itself up in love as each part does its work.
Not every prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher agree on every doctrine since there are many different Protestant Denominations. However there are some beliefs that every born again believer will agree with such as the entire New Testament is the Word of God and every doctrine in the New Testament is extremely important and should be taught, That Jesus Christ is our Great God and Savior and only by **FAITH** {A Free Gift of God} in His blood atonement can we have forgiveness of sins. That **GRACE** and **FAITH* and **ETERNAL LIFE**are **FREE GIFTS OF GOD**! And a born from above believer who has been **CALLED** and **CHOSEN** will be **FAITHFUL** and will do good worrks; not to earn their salvation, but to earn many eternal heavenly **REWARDS**!
I Corinthians 12:20 -23: As it is there are many parts, but one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" and the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" On the contrary those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indespensible, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor!
Romans 12:6-8: We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is encouraging, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully!
I Peter 1:23-25: For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, **THROUGH THE LIVING AND ENDURING WORD OF GOD. For all people {Like Chuckles and Quiznos} 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 ENDURES 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 and Quiznos} will not put up with sound doctrine!!
Women may also be prophets, evangelists, teachers and pastors to other women and their children, however:
I Timothy 2:11-14: A women should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a **WOMAN TO TEACH OR TO ASSUNME AUTHORITY OVER A MAN**, she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. {See also I Corinthians 14:34,35 which confirms that a woman may not even speak in a church}
On **CHRISTIAN** forums which should be controlled by God's Word; I believe a woman can open new threads and quote God's Word and give her testimony. And when a man posts something that she believes contradicts God's Word she can quote Scripture that contradicts his false teachings but **WITHOUT COMMENT** or she will be sinning by **TEACHING A MAN**! I believe a woman is also sinning when she **CRITICISES*" a man for his Christian beliefs since that would be also **TEACHING A MAN**1
**WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY ABOUT THE EXTREMELY SATANIC **PROSPERITY GOSPEL**??
Littlest David: All of the evil pastors like Joyce Meyer you mentioned are **PROSPERITY GOSPEL PREACHERS**and you should also include Joel and Victoria Osteen and Jimmy and Frances Swaggert and Paula White who has been Donald Trump's personal pastor for the last 15 years.
Timothy 6:5-10: There are people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to **FINANCIAL GAIN**. {Like the Prosperity Gospel of Joel Osteen} But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing in the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, **WE WILL BE CONTENT WITH THAT**. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the **LOVE OF MONEY** is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs!
Luke 11:33,34: Jesus says, "Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a **TREASURE** IN HEAVEN** {Not Treasures on Earth} that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your **TREASURE** is, there your **HEART** will be also!"
Matthew 6:31-34: Jesus says, "Do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans {And the *PROSPERITY GOSPEL*} run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But **SEEK** first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own!"
Luke 16:13: Jesus says, "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money!"
2 Corinthians 6:10: We are poor, yet making many rich; having nothing and yet **POSSESSING EVERYTHING**!
2 Timothy 3:1,2,5: But mark this. There will be terrible tines in the last days. People will lovers of themselves, **LOVERS OF MONEY**.... lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God--having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people!
Luke 14:33,34: Jesus says, "When you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be **BLESSED**! Although they cannot repay you, you will be **REPAID AT THE RESURRECTION** of the righteous!"
Ephesians 4:28: Work, doing something useful with your hands, so that you have **SOMETHING TO SHARE** with those in need! {**TO EARN ETERNAL HEAVENLY REWARDS AND NOT TO BECCOME PROSPEROUS**!!}
Acts 2:44,45: All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need!
Acts 4:32: All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but **THEY SHARED **EVERYTHING** THEY HAD**!!
Luke 3:11: Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same!
Luke 6:29,30,35,36: Jesus says, "If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. Give to anyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back... Love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting anything back. Then your **REWARD WILL BE GREAT**, and you will be children of the Most High, because He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful. just as your Father is merciful!"
Romans 12:20,21: If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink... Do not be overcome by evil, but **OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD**!
Trump's favorite preacher for the past 15 years has been Paula White and she is now in the **INNER CIRCLE** of Trump's advisers. Paula White promotes pornography for married people and declares that divorce is a **GIFT FROM GOD**. Paula White is a woman preacher that has made a fortune taking money from gullible people with her Prosperity Gospel. Paula White has also had an adulterous affair with Benny Hinn who is the king of those preaching the evil Prosperity Gospel. Paula White has a 2 million dollar home in Florida and a million dollar suite in Trump Tower.
Paula White Satanic Quote: "Jesus is not the only begotten Son of God. He is the first of **MANY BRETHREN**!"
I Timothy 2:11: A **WOMAN** should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a **WOMEN** **TO TEACH** or to assume authority **OVER A MAN**! For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner!
I Corinthians 15:34,35:**WOMEN** {Like Paula White, Joyce Meyer and Frances Swaggert} should remain silent in the churches, They are not allowed **TO SPEAK**, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about anything, they should ask their husbands at home; for it is **DISGRACEFUL** for a **WOMAN** **TO SPEAK IN THE CHURCH**!!
Jesus seeks out and blesses the poor in spirit, the lowly and powerless. But only those who are empty can fully receive all He has to give . If we come to Jesus that way. He promises to fill, nourish, and shepherd us.
Cake, since you are the only one on this site that actually knows GOD Almighty and His Word, where will i find the statements you posted.
Where did Messiah say that people are to EMPTY themselves before He promises to Fill, Nourish and Shepherd people.
There must be one verse you know, OR are these the words the so called pastors tell you sundays and wednesdays.
Cake,you have not answered this reply to your post,that is IF you are able to answer.
