@rajk999 saidAnd your light shines so brightly in this forum.
There are many. Here is one
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.(Matthew 5:16 KJV)
We can see all your wonderful "good works" in every post you make.
God is sooo glorified by the love you demonstrate with all your gracious words.
@fmf saidThat's the thing about reading scripture. It always seems to be pointing its finger in my face.
Whoosh
It is kind of ironic that josephw,, of all people, would quite Titus 3:2. And I think his reply indicates that he had a giggle over it too.
I probably shouldn't say this, but I'm comforted in knowing it applies to everyone else as well.
@eladar saidAnd I would say, referring to rajk999, that someone who repeatedly accuses the brethren and bears false witness against them is behaving exactly like Satan, whose name literally means “The Accuser.”
According to the Bible there are those who know God and those who do not. There are only children of God and children of Satan.

@josephw saidJesus and all the Apostles condemned people like you in the strongest possible language . Gracious words are not for your type. You are a false teacher leading people to damnation. For you words like, foolish man, fool, hypocrite, blind guide are the kinds of words applicable to your type.

My light certainly does shine for the people willing to hear and understand the teachings of Christ, and many do. You preach another doctrine of mouth worship and dead faith
Only a jacka$$$ like you can believe they can judge the works of others over a chat forum. I have never condemned the works of anyone because I do not know [neither do I care to know] what works people do or do not do. What I have condemned and what I will continue to condemn is encouraging others not to do good works as it is not required. Good works and righteousness must be encouraged otherwise your doctrine is a sham. .
@pb1022 saidYou are correct of course.
Why do so many of your posts - literally 75% or more - have nothing to do with substance? Are you no longer able to think clearly or sufficiently to engage in a substantive debate or discussion?
Is that why you always go for the trite and meaningless posts?
I keep in view the perspective that the naysaying serves the purpose of confirming the plain truth of scripture.
There are verses that speak to that.
@rajk999 saidAll those things have been discussed ad nauseam with you.

And yet you do this all the time, condemning Christians as “mouth worshippers” without knowing anything about what good works they have done and continue to do in real life.
<<I have never condemned the works of anyone because I do not know [neither do I care to know] what works people do or do not do.>>
Right. You just falsely condemn them for not doing good works and call them “mouth worshippers.”
<<What I have condemned and what I will continue to condemn is encouraging others not to do good works>>
No one does this, liar.
<<as it is not required.>>
Not required for salvation. Christians who do good works do them out of love and gratitude for Jesus Christ and what He did for them on the cross. Not out of fear and a sense of duty or obligation, which is how you do them (assuming you do any.)
<<Good works and righteousness must be encouraged otherwise your doctrine is a sham. .>>
Your doctrine is the sham. You devalue the work of Jesus Christ on the cross, you reject His deity, you exhibit no love for God or your neighbor (as Jesus commanded,) you accuse the brethren and bear false witness against them.
Sounds a lot like Satan, doesn’t it?

Reasoning with Rajk is a "sham".

@josephw saidYou cannot reason away the teachings of Christ. You cannot fail to support your false doctrine and think it will go away because you do it ad nauseam. There is only one way to eternal life in the Kingdom of God, which Jesus Christ explained ad nauseum and you have failed to promote that doctrine, and instead you promote a doctrine of dead faith.
All those things have been discussed ad nauseam with you.

So far your have never once preached about the keeping commandments of Christ, but you have said many other things about it
- it is legalistic
- it is Pharisaical
- they are not required
- those who keep the commandments are practicing works salvation
Nothing from your mouth is from Christ.

A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Don't worry. That verse doesn't apply to you.
You're not a "witness", nor are you a "brother".
