Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked.
�1 Timothy 1:19
Imagine for a moment there is a bad smell in your house. As you wander around trying to find the source of it, it gets stronger and stronger. Then you open your closet door, and there it is: a dead rat you have caught in a trap. What should you do to get rid of the smell? You get rid of the rat. It's that simple. When the rat is gone, the smell will go with it.
So as we are walking through life and our conscience is troubling us and guilt is overwhelming us, how do we get rid of it? We don't disable the guilt or simply try and ignore it. We get to the source of it. What is your conscience saying? What is the guilt pointing to? It is pointing to a sin. And the way to get rid of guilt is to get rid of what produced it, which is sin. So you confess your sin. Hebrews 10:22 says, "Let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ's blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water."
We might come up with new terms for our sin, like "a mistake" or "a little shortcoming," but God still calls it sin. So why don't we call it the same thing? We are reminded in 1 John 1:9, "But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness."
Only Jesus Christ can forgive sin and resensitize the conscience. He died on Calvary's cross, and He shed His blood for you. So call your sin what it is, and stop making excuses for it.
You need to believe in God and love people or your way will perish!!!
Repent of your sins and TURN your heart to God who is LOVE because other His features are FIRE and JUSTICE, He is going to devour those who live against God. Remember He is the Devouring Fire and this Fire is coming back to His eath to judge here demons, fake-christians, liars and all who disobey God.
"We have come to know and to believe in the love God has for us*.
God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him." [1 John 4:16]
To those who pretend to be christians but disobey God and do not love people I want to share what I said the other day:
Can you imagine I saw such christians in church...that's why I left this church.
People made of church a madhouse.
We should stop this madness in church or we will be accessories of their crimes and God will judge us.
Yes, we will not insult in return and not offend. But we will say the truth and this Truth will condemn them and judge them.
If we will not be judged by ourselves now, then God will judge us.
Our life is a constant confrontation with God. He confronts us by saying us our sins to make us perfect and HOLY people of God.
Those, who confront Him and do not want to conform to His Truth, condemn themselves. And God condemns them: John 3:16-21
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
�He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.�
"Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love."
You have a real problem, bahira. You just can't let it go, can you? You have meddled into affairs that have nothing to do with you, other than your self injection. Why do you continue with your self-righteous babbling? Why do you continue to post over and again how you feel about those in this forum? What's worse is that it's all in the name of Ella. That's your problem, right? If whoever won't apologize to Ella for whatever, then they are nothing but animals and unbelievers with demons dwelling in them, worse than Muslims, and you're here to tell Ella about it in a post for those unbelieving animals to see. Listen to yourself! And you have the audacity to post about hypocrites?
[It is] an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling. Proverbs 20:3
He that passeth by, [and] meddleth with strife [belonging] not to him, [is like] one that taketh a dog by the ears. Proverbs 26:17
You are not called to meddle in the affairs of others. And that is exactly what you are doing. Do you really think anyone will take you seriously when you call for them to repent? Especially after calling them animals and unbelievers with demons dwelling in them, worse than Muslims?
I came to this Forum not to speak if Chuck or Mike sleep with their cats or dogs.
I am here to tell people that soon they will be judged.
They need to get right with God or they will perish like all unbelievers.
I am here to help them to be reconciled with God and get rid of their sins.
I am here to proclaimt hat soon all people will be judged. But why? For their iniquities, sins, evil deeds, lie, sexual immorality, disbelief and lack of love toward people and God.
Of course people do not like to hear such words.
But God says it to us daily when we read the Holy Bible and we say it daily during communication wit other people..no matter who they are christians, fake christians, muslims, buddiest or killers.
We are called to be the LIGHT to the world. And if we show what is wrong, this wrong should be changed. If people do not want to be changed and live in constant repentance loving each other, then we warn that is is called disbelief and 'unbelieving' people will NOT get to the Kingdom of God. He said it. Not me.
We are here not to play in games but call sinners to repntance. If God did not condemn you in your heart, it is god. But God is testing allour hearts and during the Judgement Day He will ask every one of us the result/outcome of our lives....what are our deeds?
Chuck says to me what I say is 'trash'. But I say what God said: Repent and TURN from sins to God to live in renewed life...holy life...loving life. If no. The Judgement Day is for all.
I am not questioning your reason for being here. Nor do I question what God commands of us. The problem is that you have taken it to the extreme. You have added names. You are calling them names. You are stripping them of their salvation, determining yourself that they are not Believers, all because of what? Because you chose to include yourself into a situation that is better left between those involved, which is not you. Do you seriously consider that Christian behavior?

Dennis, as for my part, there is nothing to forgive, I hold nothing against these three women. When they have great posts, I respond in like, if they post trash, I respond in like. It is quite emotionless actually, except for the posts that make me laugh. Dennis....Dennis ...Some people take this too serious...not that you do, but it is obvious some do.

That is quite different than the distorted truth you just posted, As a fellow Christian I call you to repentance ...you don't even have to apologize to me --- just a U turn in your behavior would be nice.
We all know what God is teaching us in the Holy Bible:
Faith Without Works Is Dead.
But which works does God require us to have? Works of LOVE for people and God.
If you do not have evident fruit of love for people and God expressed in your good acts, it means that your faith is DEAD. It means you are not a Christian. It means that God considers you as an unbeliever/ sinner and He is going to judge you during the Judgment Day for your sins. Why? Because ONLY righteous people, holy people will enter the Holy dwelling place of God. Let me remind you: O foolish man, that faith without works is dead! Show us your FAITH which will exceed the faith of demons and unbelievers expressed in your works of love for people and God!
Faith Without Works Is Dead
14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, �Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,� but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, �You have faith, and I have works.� Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe�and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, �Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.� And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. James 2
