Paul's Gospel is The Gospel

The question before you is "Have you "ceased to do evil"?"

But answering direct questions without endlessly repeating stuff you posted earlier that has nothing to do with my question isn't really your strong point. Nevermind that your continued reposting of your previous post should be aimed at the person you were conversing with. Throwing it at me just because I choose ...[text shortened]... gh all the bull and ask you an on-topic question is just bad form. I'm still waiting for an answer.

@ThinkOfOne

Umm, let me guess. We're supposed to be impressed ?

Have you ceased from evil ? Seems a simple question to me.

Are we supposed to be dazzled by your well reasoned dodging and ducking?

ThinkOFOne,

Come down to earth and walk the earth the way Jesus did.

Have you or have you not ceased from EVIL ?

If you think there is a valid point that underpins Suzianne's question, then plainly state it. You know, actually formulate a cogent argument instead of mindlessly repeating her red herring question.

Seems likely that on some level, both of you realize that there is no cogent argument that can be made. So you just mindlessly repeat the same question over and over again and wrap an ad hominem attack around it.

@suzianne said
I've explained this twice now.

I have no argument with your previous discussion with someone else. That you continue to browbeat me with your argument from that discussion is entirely moot.

I hear you and Rajk tag-team everyone else in the forum with this "big idea" that repentance means nothing if one continues to sin.

Well, then, let's have it -- have YOU "ceased ...[text shortened]... but if one insists on not 'walking the walk', then don't be 'amazed' when people ignore your 'talk'.

So says - Polly Want a Cracker? .. squawk! -
when Jesus walked the earth,
when Jesus walked the earth,
when Jesus walked the earth,
Squawk!!

Talking about parroting a mindless UNEXPLAINED repetition.

We all know what the answer is to her question.

lol. Now you're going to try to pretend that your response to my post to jaywill had nothing to do with my discussion with him? So much for your assertion that you were asking an "an on-topic question".
...[text shortened]... Do you really not understand that? I think you do understand it, but don't want to accept His words.

@suzianne said
So are you going to answer my question or not?

Was that a "No, because it would undermine everything I've said in this forum for the last 18 months"?

Stop demanding that people follow a doctrine, when you're not willing to at least follow that doctrine yourself. It's obvious that you can NOT follow the doctrine that Jesus set forth "while he walked the earth", because you don't even believe that he was the Son of God.

@ThinkOfOne

And so it goes with "salvation by faith alone" Christians.

@thinkofone said
Are you going to continue to pretend that your line of argumentation doesn't amount to an ad hom wrapped in a red herring? Do you believe that by ignoring this fact that it will make it untrue?

It seems that the gospel in which you believe has rendered you incapable of engaging in reasoned argument.

It's unfortunate that the penny still hasn't dropped for you.

Let's see. Neither you nor Suzianne were able to formulate a cogent argument addressing the scripture I cited, so instead went with your usual: ad homs.

And so it goes with "salvation by faith alone" Christians.

@suzianne said
Just stop with the boilerplate and answer my question.


Any time now would be fine.

@ThinkOfOne

If you don't want to answer the question "Have you ceased from evil?" then how about answering this one of mine?

Will there be a time in the future that you will have totally ceased from evil?
(I do not mean death or non-existence).

You see by faith I believe the Lord's words when He walked the earth.

You shall be perfect even as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Matt. 5:48)

"And the glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, even as We are one.

I in them and You in Me, that they may be PERFECTED into one, that they may know that You have sent Me and have loved them even as You have loved Me.

Father, concerning that which You have given Me, i desire that they also may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory, which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world."
(John 17:21-24)

" Even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish before Him in love,

Predestinating us unto sonship through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will." (Eph. 1:3,4)
