you lack spiritual discernment?Wouldn't one with spiritual discernment know ?
that would be the third paragraph, you have the wrong one. the second paragraph is between that one and the first one. never mind, let me post it again:thekla said:I am asking you about your discernment - could you explain how the above statement (if I've got the right one) is related to my question to you ?
you lack spiritual discernment?
Thanks for the correction !that would be the third paragraph, you have the wrong one. the second paragraph is between that one and the first one. never mind, let me post it again:
"What the Bible actually says is that we're not to judge a person's heart or motives."
It never ceases to amaze me how scripture is proven out time and time again in everyday situations. A couple thousand years ago, the following was written and appears to be proven over and over: For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy....
Like I said, trying to help and remove some of your confusion. Scripture never returns void. The anger of the LORD will not turn back until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will understand it clearly.
exactly, all men are born totally depraved, hence the need to be born again!Don't forget that applies every man, including YOU!
My prior post explains your inability to understand. I can't fix this. There is only One who can.TQR said:I'm afraid you failed, you have only confused me more with your preaching.

Thekla, I answered this a couple times for you already. recall 1st line 2nd paragragh, then you posted the 1st line form the 3rd paragraph and I reposted the text again?Do you know Romney's heart ?

Why are you posting with the same question over and over? My answer is not changing. For a yet another time:
I am beginning to wonder why it appears to me that you are unable to discern sprititual things like this.
Why ?
because you asked:Then you asked me if I lacked spiritual discernment. Why did you ask me that ?
Knowing that many here will not get this, nor do they want to actually discuss much of anything, here goes.
To say that 47% of people can't be reached is in fact a statment of a caring nature. It's a statement of fact, it is heart breaking to many people and I see Romney as one of those type people. In some peoples eyes it's not simply a political truth, it's shameful on us all. The facts are the facts, there exists a very small number of people that will decide who is president. And if the 47% ever gets to 51% there is no reason to continue the political process of elections.
But as I began, if you are part of the 47% you will not get it and if not there is no reason for me to write it down, you already do get it. That's another way to see the problem.

Obama: brags about drone attacks, can't defend our Ambassador, is pro-abortion, wasted billions of taxpayer money on green energy, and has an economic record that has grown the number of Americans living in poverty and living on food stamps. Not only that, Obama has divided us in a way that can only be compared to the US Civil war.
Romney: has a personal record and professional record of helping out people, is much stronger in his personal faith, has a plan to grow the economy and put Americans back to work, and like Reagan he understands that the way to prevent war is to have a strong US military that no one will challenge under the leadership of a strong US President.
Supply side economics within a well regulated system is the way to go. Obama's Keynesian policies simply are not working. Poverty grows worse under Obama. Time for change.

because you asked:
Wouldn't one with spiritual discernment know ?
If you were able to discern spiritually then why were you asking me if I knew about Romney's heart in light of scripture that instructs us not to?
undertanding how others feel is called empathy, it is not knowing another's heart.Then why is the claim from anyone that they know how " the 47%" feel acceptable ?
