Good morning thrillobyte... I started a new thread on this.

God Bless you.

Verna ... Weren't we all once children of the devil? Isn't every child born a child of the devil?

The moronic belief in the specialness of only SOME of God's creations is so perfectly human and psychologically twisted. God forgive you all for your pride and boastful attitudes. The "refinement" is apt to be quite harsh.
For sure! I don't stop by here too often. Just often enough to see that the Pharisee-Christians are still condemning everyone who won't submit to the fear they try to use to control others. It is sick! In fact, I'm pretty sure that the very definition of witchcraft is trying to control and manipulate others via fear, lies, and intimidation. Even the name "Twin Spin" sounds wicked to me. But 'Dewdrop' sounds very lovely :-)

I will check back in a few weeks and see if the same crazy religious arguments are consuming people's time.

We are all born sinners Ironmaw...I don't know where you are going with this...but I do know you know this answer already.

So what is it you really want to say...?...are you suggesting that we remain in that state...?...or are we commanded by God to grow and mature spiritually, into a true, repentant, CHANGED! Born Again, Christ-like Christian?...who obeys His commandments? You know it is the latter. So what is the problem Ironmaw...?

Listen Ironmaw...and listen good...If you or anyone else in this world dies a willfull sinner...having rejected Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and the power to overcome sin that comes along with receiving His precious gift...you will die a child of the devil...and in his domain you will remain...forever, separated from God...FOREVER. Get that in your head!

It's time to grow up!



In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother [other believers].1 John 3:10. (KJV)

This is the way God's children are distinguished from the devil's children. Everyone who doesn't do what is right or love other believers isn't God's child. 1 John 3:10. (GWT)

...and yes, I know...we are to love our enemies as well...just this passage is specifically speaking of loving our "brothers" and I am pointing out that "brothers" are of the same family (The Family of God)...the children of God..."brothers" are not children of the devil, who wilfully sin...two different families...two very different fathers!!!



Matthew 13:38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

John 1:12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God--

John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

John 11:52 and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of God, to bring them together and make them one.

Romans 8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.

3 John 1:11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.



In Christ's love...and prayerfully in His truth,
Verna.

Your hateful terrorist threats only make me pity your hate filled heart and your curse ridden mouth.

God loves me, and Jesus saved me, and i trust in that and not i your false religion. You are already in your fabled hell, and you are all alone and you think you are on your way to heaven.

You curse yourself and yet you believe that you are blessed. Very sad ...

God will heal you of this mortal plague that you suffer, some day soon i hope ...

1Jo 3:10
By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.

I disagree

This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.
1 John 3:10
