My pastor was a good example of sanctification

[rockytopva]

If you were to place a value upon your friendship what would be it's value?

Not for sale.

 

[mtatertayte]

Few are of the same spirit. Just ask any pastor who has to deal with church boards!

When you let the devils in then you have a church full of devils.

Isn't that common sense?

 

[mtatertayte]

Not for sale.

So your friendship is worthless?

I use to help with youth camp years ago. I have been long aware at mischief coming through church people. I told a brother one day that I was worried about the operations of the devil through church people. Ohh... He says... The devil cannot go against the blood... And his contention was so great that he reported me over it and got me in trouble.

Years later, at camp meeting, that brother came to me and personally apologized. I graciously accepted, but deep down, wondered what trials the poor man went through to come to the same conclusion, that yes, the devil can operate through church people and that it is a sad truth.

More like of such value they would not be able to buy it.

The devil operates through his own children.

 

[topher694]

I am calling you out.

You thought I was calling out Iforrest?

All you are doing is making yourself look bad.

 

[mtatertayte]

More like of such value they would not be able to buy it.

So the value you place upon your friendship is priceless.

Is that correct?

 

[mtatertayte]

All you are doing is making yourself look bad.

Then what do I have to hide from you?
Nothing.

We can't believe a devil is going to operate in a sanctified man of God. In which, a sanctified man of God would not put a price on friendship where he could sell such friendship for personal gain.

 

[topher694]

Nothing.

Well if you want to own and embrace your poor behavior, that's up to you. Have at it.

Thank God your opinions of me are not His.
That would make yours worthless now wouldn't it.

But you are...by not standing up for what is right
with them you are trying to please by being their friend.

You are selling your friendship.

 

[topher694]

Unfortunately in this case I'm afraid they are in line with His options.

See, I just read through this entire exchange and repeatedly observed rocky be honoring, extremely patient, and kind. All consistent with how God defines love and the fruit of the Spirit.

At the same time I've observed you being antagonistic, lewd, contentious, divisive and rude. All consistent with how God defines the works of the flesh.

I am not afraid of you.
And your words will all fall to the ground.

 

[mtatertayte]

Pure Italian Bologna

I do believe that God is going to side with me.

 

[topher694]

I am not afraid of you.

Not sure how that is relevant, but good for you.

 

[mtatertayte]

Not sure how that is relevant, but good for you.

Because God is a respecter of no persons...that includes you.
