Romans 13:8-10 .
If you don't mind me asking, pcamps, have you been successful in overcoming sin, generally speaking? I mean, I know we all commit "little" sins (little lies, losing our tempers, etc.) but have you overcome the "big" ones (sinful sexual actions outside marriage, ongoing hatred & unforgiveness, chronic lying, cheating, stealing in all forms, selfishness etc.)?

I have always been faithful, never had a problem with hatred and unforgiveness and never been a chronic pathological liar, before and after believing.If you knew me in real life though you would not think i was a christian, although i do much of what appears to be christianity, i pray, read the scriptures,witness and so on, but i count all these things but loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.
The most important thing in my life is thinking on whatsoever is true,pure,lovely,noble and admirable, and the wonderful thing is Thrill, i find all these things in him.So guess where i am looking.
Hope this answer your question

pcamps, FYI.....John 12:48, Matthew 25:46 are God's Word. To say that "Actually you are not repeating God's word , you are telling us what you believe you god(the bible) is saying." ...(I believe you meant to say "your god (the bible) is saying"...is a form of hatred.
  1. I am repeating God's Word
  2. to spell it with a small "g" is to claim that I believe in a false god
  3. to have (the bible) after the small "g" is to claim that the bible is a false god
John 12:48
There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day.

Matthew 25:46
“Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

UR opposition to it is a form of hate and a Satanic lie. I'm more convienced of this now than ever.

More UR propaganda.

The KJV and the NIV has only one verse with the word "multitudes" ... Rev 17:15

(And even the UR'ers go to poor translation YLT has "multitudes" in only one verse !!!) Rev 17:15

Verse 14 is about those who make war against the Lamb (ref to Jesus), verse 15 are the ones who do and that's where the word "multitudes appear:

KJV These shall make war with the Lamb......And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the ***** sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

NIV They will wage war against the Lamb.....Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.

"Multitudes" are actually waging war against Jesus....hardly an act of worshipping him.

Once more, UR is a theology of despise. UR theology promotes that Jesus has no right to deem what's just or fair. Ultimatly UR theology wants to be the judge.

UR theology is a lie...straight from hell.

These are God's words, not my "take". To say "Actually you are not repeating God's word , you are telling us what you believe you[r] god (the bible) is saying." is an outright attack on the Bible.

I'm tired of this phony plastic banana hippie "love". Speaking to the theology of UR ONLY .... Satan wants no more than those who reject him to come to believe that God will not damn them for it. It is outright hatred for the unbeliever to leave them believing in a false security.

That is what UR theology does. Allows those who reject Jesus a place in heaven when Jesus specifically says otherwise.

Twin Spin i said forget that i believe UR. Nothing i posted is anything different to what i believed for quite a while prior to believing UR,i have never believed anything like you have,and like i have already said to you even if ET or annihilation is true, your message would still be considered a ministry of sin,condemnation and death to me.You can't even put a post that comes anywhere near the good news , because you do not believe there is any.

Jesus said go tell your friends what great things that God has done for you ,and not go and tell them they are dirty rotten sinners and if you don't believe you are and don't believe in Jesus you are damned

You come across sounding very judgmental. You might want to tone it down a little.

pcamps,
After the disciples were sent out to announce the good news, Jesus instructed the disciples to say to any town that rejected the message tell them they are dirty rotten sinners and if you don't believe you are and don't believe in Jesus you are damned

Luke 10:10-12
But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’ I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.

You see Finn, you really couldn't make it up . Anything that appears to be good news,gets beaten down.Out of the abundance of the heart.

Strain at a gnat and swallowing a camel,neglecting the more weighter matters of the law,justice mercy and faithfulness.
