Does it make you uncomfortable to be called out for this in a public forum.

Are you aware that it's against the rules to call people out in these forums?

I'm going to leave this discussion right here.

Again, if you would like to discuss this in a PM; write me.

Pretty Amazing. I have heard some testimonies, but yours....the first question that popped was when did the Hebrew study start?
Anyway, I don't want to get too analytical on something so personal, I appreciate what you have done here. I do have to say that I really like the way you set the atheist medical community back to their drawing board. Let me close for now and go back to bed with this, in response to your closing about grace, to be an encouragement. Just a little devotional entry I wrote:

John 1:16. And of his fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.
What then is “grace for grace”?
This can be understood by these words of the Lord to His disciples:
Matthew 10:8. “freely ye have received, freely give”.

Churches are full of people every Sunday morning who have received God’s grace, as evidenced by the fact that they got out of bed. Hallelujah! The body of Christ continues to touch lives by the hands of those who give grace. Whom have received grace, for grace.

The testimony of Christian maturity is found in the words of Paul:
Philippians 1:7. Even as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel: you all are partakers of my grace.”

The unmerited favor of God is a theological definition of grace that is widely accepted among Christians.
2 Corinthians 9:8. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.

A Holy Spirit definition of grace: the all sufficiency of God that enables us to abound in every good work in service to the body of Christ.

2 Corinthians 8:7. Therefore, as you abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that you abound in this grace also (charity).

Since it is still better to give than to receive (Acts 20:35), continue to freely give, for we have received from His Fullness.

Amen.

You mean like this:
This is not the place to go into a big discussion about why this happens; but the reason is obvious.
You don't like my messages; so you derail my threads through misdirection. [accusation]
I counter with scripture that is more on point.[false defense], you usually counter with another single scripture taken out of context. This is all in the public record, and will support my statement.
If you quote a single scripture, and I post an entire passage and question your interpretation based on context, how exactly is that inappropriate. Again, no legs.

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

A lot of words, but not an answer. Let’s start from the beginning.


(CLV) 1Jn 2:4
He who is saying that I know him, and is not keeping his precepts, is a liar; and the truth of The God, is not in this one.

How perfectly must I keep them in order to not be a liar?

If you don’t know, you don’t know. It’s okay to admit that.

Nope, I don't know the perfect truth. I can only approach it.

You seem to keep looking for a different answer than the one that I've given. If the definition of perfect in the dictionary doesn't suffice; again, ask the father to define it for you. He's the one who will judge you, not me.

Do you think that you need to keep the law perfectly, lest you be shown to be a liar?

If you truly know your imperfections, you easily forgive others for theirs. Wait a minute!
Did I just fulfill the Law and the prophets.
