My intention is not to rile them up, but for them to see the truth of what God's Word says.
I see it as highly immoral and as a violation of God's Holy Word to say that believers can be saved while they commit mortal sin. Believers need to confess and forsake their sin in order to obtain mercy.
- Great. Live that out in the real world, and see how it goes.
No doubt we should live out the faith. But I am not sure why you would suggest or imply that I am not living the faith (Which is not nice or loving to imply otherwise). God's Word lets us know that Paul fought the good fight of faith (See: 2 Timothy 4:7). This means we also have to fight the good fight of faith. My impression is that in your belief on Soteriology and Sanctification, there is nothing to fight for. Just sit back and relax. No sin can separate you from God. So need to love, or make peace with others. The difference between my faith and your faith is that you don't have to work out your salvation with fear and trembling according to Philippians 2:12. There is a lot for me to lose if I do not continue in the faith and obey God. In your version of the faith: I don't really have to worry about anything concerning the faith. But even the demons believe and tremble (See: James 2:19)

I also do not believe what you are saying in your above statement, if anything you are just trying to live what you believe by sharing the scriptures on the internet so you can be conformed into your belief you are creating for yourself.
Again, it is not loving to imply I am lying about not trying to rile men up, but to lead them to the truth. Your lack of not believing me does not change the truth. My goal is not to rile them up, but for them to see God's truth in His Word. Whether you believe me or not, it does not matter. God knows the truth and my heart in following His Word. On judgment day: If it is God's will: The Lord will testify that I was being truthful with you on this matter.
Now, I know that men will by default will be riled up by my preaching the Word but this is because they don't like the verses that I show them, but that is on them and not me. I am merely the messenger, and it is my hope that they will not shoot the messenger; But sometimes it happens. I have been called some pretty bad stuff on other Christian forums over the years for sharing the truth of His Word. But did I return with calling them names, etc.? No. My goal is to love, and pray for my enemies just as Jesus taught. My intent is that nobody should perish but that all should come to repentance. Unfortunately I know that Jesus says narrow is the way. I don't know who will make it. So I preach and pray and hope that the seeds of the Word of God I plant will be watered by another whereby God will give the increase.
Tell me all your sins. Lets confess to one another

It is written,
5 "Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house." (Micah 7:5-6).
Also, the forum rules suggests that we are not to address the poster or the individual personally, but we are to stick to the topic with Scripture (no doubt so as to prevent heated debates and bitter disagreements).
In addition, would you believe me if I told you about my life? Well, trust needs to be earned. I confide in those who believe the Word of God as I do. You don't accept the Word as it is written at this time. So you would not believe me even I told you about my life. Furthermore, it does not matter if most of the whole world was not living correctly. God's Word is still the standard and the standard is not my life alone. God destroyed an entire world with a global flood except for eight people. We walk by faith and not by sight. I am not above God's Word in what it says anymore than you are. If the Bible tells me to be ye holy, that is something I have to accept (Whether I like it or not).

I have manipulated, and abused people. Lied, and stolen money. I have used drugs, and have looked lustfully upon women in my life. I have hated people. I have used inappropriate contentography. Desired once to Kill my own mother. (God Prevented that)
Believers need to confess and forsake such sins in order to have mercy.
For it is written:
“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh
them shall have mercy.” (Proverbs 28:13).
But by what you have written so far, you don't believe that.
So this means that no real corrective action needs to take place entirely.
A believer in your view can continue in sin on some level with the thinking they are saved by having a belief alone in Jesus.
You said:
It was super easy to do when God was no were near me.
These are my sins.
So you are saying that you have overcome grievous or mortal sin?
You no longer do any sin that the Bible condemns?
You said:
This is to make a point that NO ONE IS BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE.
Ah, I see. You were not really trying to say that your version of faith leads to having the right fruit in a believer's life? That no believer can bring forth good fruit?
Jesus said you will know them by their fruits (Matthew 7:16).
You said:
We have all fallen short to the glory of God, who is the glory of God? Lord Jesus Christ. Who came down to save sinners.
If you believe that Romans 3:10, and Romans 3:23 is in reference to the believer's present current walk with God and it is not in reference to initial salvation via by receiving God's grace and then having a changed life to live righteously, then you must believe Romans 3:11 is in reference to the current walk of the believer, too.
Romans 3:11 says, “There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.”
Are you saying that believers today do not have any understanding, and they do not seek after God? That is what you must believe if you interpret Romans 3:10, and Romans 3:23 in the way that you do.

This thread will be deleted sometimes probably.
Why? To hide the truth of God's Word? Truth should not remain hidden.
