Originally posted by FMFFor some, you may need to explicitly point out the irony in what jw has posted on this thread. And for some of those, even pointing it out in painstaking detail won't help. They see what they want to see. Just as they do with scripture. They have eyes but fail to see.
Oh the irony.
It's about time you came clean Rajk. Your confession speaks volumes concerning your faith.
In the end Rajk, none of the glory will be yours.

Originally posted by ThinkOfOneAs long as you and Rajk believe, erroneously, that you can earn God's salvation you will continue to misconstrue my comments as judgmental.

To get you started, here's what jw has posted thus far:It's about time you c ...[text shortened]... he glory will be yours.

Originally posted by Rajk999How odd indeed that you should be so concerned for the needy. Seeing you spend so much time here it's a wonder you can find any for the poor.
Son-in-Law of Roigam, how are you pal? Are you the pastor in the confession box?
Im a filthy sinner, because I just cannot continue seeing others needy, hungry, sick and without clothes, and not lend a helping hand. I know it is wrong and it is trying to earn my salvation but, Im just not like that... I must have and evil spirit in me or something.
I ...[text shortened]... .... strong enough to be a good Christian and ignore the poor and needy. Tell me how you do it.
Originally posted by josephwSo when you told rajk999, "In the end Rajk, none of the glory will be yours." it wasn't "designed to criticize and condemn"?
As long as you and Rajk believe, erroneously, that you can earn God's salvation you will continue to misconstrue my comments as judgmental.
The error is on you. Salvation is a gift. It cannot be earned. Doing good works earns rewards, not salvation.

Originally posted by ThinkOfOneWhen you reply to the main point of my post I'll consider giving attention to the rest of your blathering.
So when you told rajk999, "In the end Rajk, none of the glory will be yours." it wasn't "designed to criticize and condemn"?
But when rajk999 says something similar, it is "designed to criticize and condemn"? And he should be criticized for it?
And the problem is that I "misconstrue [your] comments" and the "error is on [me]"?

Originally posted by josephwThe words 'earn,' or 'earned' are not in the Bible, neither is it in my vocabulary when I am discussing the Bible. I dont ever use words which are not in the bible because it can give an incorrect impression.

Originally posted by Rajk999Twist it any which way you want, but you do believe salvation is acquired by doing works.

So I never said 'earning' anything or that salvation has to be earned. All I have done is to repeat the teachings of Christ and the Apostles in m ...[text shortened]... ion.
If you do not accept what Jesus and the Apostles say then its YOU that have a problem.

Matthew 13
36Then He left the crowds and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.” 37And He said, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, 38and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; 39and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels. 40“So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age. 41“The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, 42and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43“Then THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
