This thread is because the accuser of the brethren is doing his job to be only an accuser, and also attempting through whatever methods is at deceptions disposal, to use to make crooked what is straight.
Because it seems popular to encourage the thought that backsliding is permitted by God, and that there is an option or opportunity to make it, to that victory of God, I am going through the thoughts.
Firstly, 2 Peter 2 reveals how escaping this worlds trap of the deceitful lying devil, is not a successful escape, when the people become entangled in it again, in fact they are much more cursed by blasphemy ( we assume that's allowed by Christ when it is not)..
All we need to do is look at the words that testify to us, when the greater one is on somebody, THEY OVERCOME THE WICKEDNESS, the world is weaker and defeated by the stronger..
2 Peter 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Further proof, and to understand it simply, is when the person is born of God, they overcome the world, and clearly, the ones born the flesh and not born of God, backslide and overcome nothing, as nothing is in them, these have NO FAITH, this is WHY, they do not overcome the world..
1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
The message to the world then is, good overcomes evil, also good KEEPS the works unto the end, where is BAcksliding ?
Romans 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Revelation 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
Now in Revelation, this continues to give us more description, how the testimony of Christ overcomes the devil, also the ones who love their lives (backsliders in faithlessness) lose their lives eventually, but the ones who lose their life in faith to Christ, do not love their lives ever and until the death..
John 12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Revelation continuing, and making it simple, no confusion here, the devil makes the war, has made it for 2000 years, and has power to overcome all that dwell upon the whole earth, APART, from those who have their names written in the book of life..
Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Those who do not have the name of the deceptive devil in them, get the victory over the beast, which is over the name of lie, I suppose they do not know they have( it is shown here but who seems to know ?)
Isaiah 44:20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?
Revelation 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
Anyway the war continues ( as it has since Christ preached the Kingdom of Heaven) but the Lamb overcomes them, as He did overcome them, and the ones with Him always were from the beginning, chosen and FAITHFUL..
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Revelation 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
This then in 1 Corinthians 5 is a confuslon and comforting scripture for backsliders ?
Not this time, for the fornicating backsliders make all the body of Christ corrupted, they are outcasted permenantly, so the body can be saved...
1 Corinthians 5: 1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
1 Corinthians 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
The instruction to not accompany with fornicators is commanded, to avoid their own destruction, which happens to THE WICKED..
1 Corinthians 5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
Just putting together all he verses that make all clear, is what the deceivers never do, so lets do it.
The deceives have erred, the Lord knows them that are HIs, it is not the deceivers.
The man of God has to purge out those deceiver fornicating so called backsliders, to be a vessel of honour, calling on the Lord with a pure heart ( it is not the heart a backslider has)...
2 Timothy 2::16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Continuing with the PURE HEART, (this is faith) but the vain teachers understand nothing of what they speak of ( their own words and not 100 percent Gods word of faith ever)
The proof this time highlights Apostle Paul, who did the evil when in UNBELIEF) no backsliding there, they clearly in unbelief are never believers in Christ, but Paul is placed into grace and forgiveness to show ALL LONGSUFFERING, not the backsliders lying idea of true example..
1 Timothy 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
1 Timothy 1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
1 Timothy 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
The deceivers delivered to satan, destroy the faith, they are rejected to blaspheme to themselves, as the wicked and fornicators are not in the faith..
1 Timothy 1:19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
Ending specifically on whether the ones described as wicked, can stop being wicked and excuse themselves that they backslid and God allows that.
Not agreeing with the word of the Lord, because they were alienated by WICKED works, NOW ARE RECONCILED..
Colossians 1:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
That is the ERROR OF THE WICKED, ( remembering Hymenaeus Who concerning the truth have ERRED) so much for them escaping the damnation of hell..
Matthew 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
2 Peter 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
But it is those who overcome the world, not backslide in it, that are born of God, keep themselves, and THE WICKED ONE, touches them not ( nonsense to say backsliding is being a Christian.
Faith and being born of God is overcoming this world, it is the antichrist word to say backsliding is having faith and or being born of God, but the word has thoroughly testified against them, that they are very mistaken, as in 2 Peter 2 they cannot be entangled again or are even worse off for blasphemy of Christs Holy Spirit..
1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
2 Peter 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
Mark 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
Hebrews 6:6 (impossible) If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
All I can say is that I was never as clean or good as I thought I was before I backslid. The desire to commit the sins I committed was always there but suppressed as a younger Christian.
I had the basics of Christianity down but did not know Jesus or God anywhere near as much as I thought I did or others perceived I did.
We are the beast and we always have to be on guard against ourselves.
Note friends how David says - 'I haven’t seen anyone on here (forum) saying that backsliding is ok' yet that is EXACTLY what David says its 'ok' to keep on sinning the same old sins! You see backsliding is A SIN, a loss of salvation that ANY REAL Christian knows this FACT OF SCRIPTURE!
So obviously changing or watering down the gospel message like David does here, by changing words like 'SIN" to like NOT 'OK' to do, is hiding the truth about those who GO BACK TO SINNING which of course is the purpose of this thread by ADAM7777 by WARNING and exposing false teachers like David! David thinks by >>>looking back<<< to the old self sinful nature you can still go to the kingdom of YHWH??? So is David's false doctrine of 'once saved always saved' a true Biblical doctrine?
Luke 9:62 'And Yah'shua the Messiah said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and >>>looking back,<<< is fit for the kingdom of YHWH.
Ooops! Looks like the O.S.A.S. DOGMA is just another CULT doctrine obviously! Heck, David thinks breaking Torah Law like the Sabbath is 'ok' because it miraculously 'disappeared with Judaism' according to David and our weekly cycle now is only six day weeks!? Go figure, for David thinks the
earth spins and circles the sun , when the Bible says it DOES NOT MOVE, so it should be no surprise he thinks we keep 6 day weeks now! David thinks as long as you attend some kind of CULT 'church' and saying 'Lord, Lord' and maybe even prophesying in His name or casting out devils as well as other 'wonderful works' your 'saved' because you confessed your sins, went back to them, confessed again, went back to them, confessed again, went back to them, confessed again, went back to them, confessed again, went back to them, confessed again, went back to them, confessed again! WHEW! But what does the Bible say?
Matthew 7:20-23.... 20. 'Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, >>>ye that work iniquity.'<<<
Everyone needs to look up the definition of that word 'iniquity' as it means LAWLESSNESS or those PRACTICING disobedience to the Torah Law! Working iniquity IS IS IS PRACTICING SINNING when you break ANY of the Ten Commandments which of course INCLUDES the one the Bible clearly and WARNS NOT to forget!!!
David 'you’re doing a great job, teaching false DOCTRINE to the 'brethren' here, which you do nothing but accuse brethren like ADAM7777 of doing instead???
Its soooo simple to understand that it is NOT 'OK' to go on sinning and ANY kind of sinning IS PRACTICING it! GEESH!
Great example of backsliding Marcouse! Obviously David does not understand (but ADAM, Moon an I do), that ANY of us can 'FALL AWAY' as the Messiah and Paul taught by our choices and lose our salvation in going back to sinning. Of course there are those like Quiznos and David that quote that John is supposedly teaching O.S.A.S. DOGMA when he writes 'no man' can take away a persons salvation from the 'Father's hand' once they had it!? But the context of Scripture is CLEAR that we are FREE WILL CREATURES and WE are the only ones that can take ourselves from the 'Father's
hand' everyday should we go back to sinning! Note how the only word missing from John 10:28,29 is OURSELVES that can 'pluck them out of HIS hand' by our actions of sinning again!
John 10:28,29... 28. 'And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall >>>never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.<<< 29. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and >>>no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.<<<'
So the Bible is clear, the O.S.A.S. DOGMA is just another CULT doctrine!
Super testimony of yours Marcouse, thanks for sharing! I have a little different testimony that I have shared in another thread but be warned the excuse that most every indoctrinated so called 'christian' will claim, that if you ever went back to willful sinning, then you were never saved to begin with!
WHAT A SAD EXCUSE to ATTEMPT to prove their FALSE DOCTRINE of O.S.A.S. DOGMA that I KNOW personally by my testimony (and you seem to imply by yours) is NOT TRUE because I turned AWAY from YHWH over 30 years ago! My hand slipped off the plow and then I looked back to the old life once again, the old sinful nature won me back!
It's not so much the sins themselves that damage you but the motivation behind them. I knew the things I was doing were wrong but out of frustration and I would say self entitlement at the time I did them anyway. Eventually I ended up in a bad place with nowhere to hide. After truly confessing my sins I started to climb the mountain back, then have carried on. I suffered some punishments in this life but once I acknowledged I'd bought everything on myself things steadily got better. I'd say there was a period there where I was unsaved but God still protected me until I turned back. Goes back to that line about not tempting the Lord your God by throwing yourself onto the rocks. I certainly have enough fear to not go out of my way to trouble the Spirit again.
I'm going to cover Gods rules again. (it's not salvation to believe in our own ideas, thoughts, words or wishes.)
Israel confessed their sins, but they did not forsake them, because they were unable to without that new covenant of Christ writing His laws into the hearts. That's fact 1.
Fact 2. The confessing of sons receives no mercy, without the forsaking of the sins..
Proverbs 28:13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
Now to reveal again, what backsliding is, and how it is the mystery of the Spirit.
Israel as said, confessed their sins often, but never knew the Lord ( who is Spirit and needs to be worshipped in the Spirit through Christ).
So the Lord leads the way into the women who has a son, THE SON, which is how the BACKSLIDING ENDS..
Jeremiah 31:22 How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the Lord hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.
Now God HEALS and loves backsliding Israel, feeding them as lambs and turning His anger away from them..
Hosea 4:16 For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
Hosea 14:4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
This leads into 1 Peter 2, describing us as sheep going astray (backsliding) to now return to our Shepherd, who bore our sins (backsliding) in His own body on the tree to HEAL US..
1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
Now for anyone to understand in their own way, or actually discuss these verses shared, or imagine they are not sating anything.
Christ is the advocate for all who are a believer. To forgive sins, of the world.
But that does not mean anyone knows Christ when they sin and or confess their sins. It means they lie if they claim to know Christ.
As we can read and understand, to know Christ involves no more backsliding( or you are unhealed) it involves being returned to the Shepherd, ceasing to backslide, feeding in the good pasture, no more astray, and now the love of God perfected in us. To believe truly in Christ, you must walk as He walked, there i no other way testified, no other way in.
1 John 2: My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
Flat Teddy, why don’t you wanna talk about the lies you told about Prophetic 7744 that you posted on the biblical forum when he was in here?? Remember how you admitted lying about him but you just laughed it off calling it all a joke? But did you ever confess your lies about Prophetic to God??? Even YET?
Yet, you agree with Adam about sinless perfectionism.
One of the characteristics of a sinless perfectionism heretic such as yourself and Adam is your redefinition of sin.
Flat Teddy, so lets review your willful lies about Prophetic and then let’s chat about your sinless perfectionism
First, I’m giving you a chance to pull up your own lying posts about Prophetic and to explain what you did. Ok? If it was all just a joke then why did you not explain that to the readers?
Ahhhh I see David is once again doing his usual copy and paste in all threads as to distract from the REAL subject of his false heretical 'continual sinning perfectionism' doctrine. What 'pulled up' past posts of mine are you alluding too, false accuser of the forum!? So what's to 'explain to the readers' as I have NUMEROUS times! You ARE the 'joke' of this forum with your false doctrine of heresy of 'continual sinning perfectionism' and your 'willful lie' NON BIBLICAL teachings!!! Even YET?
REPOST AGAIN from many threads! - 'you are STILL accusing me with your dreamed up accusations that I supposedly 'lied' about pathetic7744 (Richard) when it was parotban (or however his name was spelled) that I QUOTED from and NOT my personal comments and postings! I have answered you in MULTIPLE threads on pages back but you REFUSE to answer them, so here is a REPOST here below because you are LAZY to read from your past thread posts and so why should I keep posting a new exposer of you!?
Really globlet hugging David, that is all you got is to accuse me of using what one poster (parotban or however his name was spelled) stated that pathetic7744 (Richard) was a 'pastor' of a 'church' in Florida, said Richard shaved his head and he was called 'pastor cueball' then and I use that against Richard to get him to stop harassing you about your so called 'long hair' and now I'm supposedly a 'liar' now??? Did you forget you wanted Richard gone from the forum because we would NEVER have Bible discussions with him here?' As well as many others wanted him gone?
'Lets look at your other accusation that I'm supposedly 'lying' about when you and Moon CLEARLY state that saints will be breaking YHWH's Torah Law (sinning) right up to the point of His return for those same saints! So according to you and Moon, all your kind of 'saints' will be continually sinning and it will be 'ok' as far as your concerned because they cannot help it until they are changed into robots that cannot sin anymore at His second coming! Is that about right in your self doctrine or can you explain the absurdity to your definition of WHAT a saint actually is David? Can you unpack that for us my sphere worshipping globlet lad?'
'So where are these supposed lies and supposed 'ignorance' of TRUE Righteousness by FAITH now bubba??? You make it clear your kind of 'saints' will be sinning like pink energizer bunnies that keep going and going and going and going back into sinning! You teach absurdity doctrine dude that you CANNOT prove by the Bible!' END REPOST!
Nice try to distract as usual the real subject here of this thread! Same old loser David!
