@Christopher I did not mean to confuse you. If I did you would not be the first person. I've been told I speak in riddles by those who know me better than you do. Since I know what I'm thinking it doesn't seem so to me.I believe I cannot know your election of grace. I can only guess what you believe from what you say. You are not at present attending a Church to my knowledge, then I'd have a better idea of what doctrine you embrace. If God has begun a good work in you, He will complete it. I can't know that, its the secret working of God. I can only look at the outward appearance. I remember something I heard once. A young woman asked her Professor: What do you think about God? He said: My dear young woman it matters not what I think about God, but what God thinks about me. I observe your doctrine is different than mine and you're looking for counsel that is hard to find or sometimes when found, hard to receive. I am a woman and I want you to be more careful of your wife's good name. I thought I was too careless with my ex husband's in this format and I don't think it's right. Christ is an excellent burden bearer; Wonderful Counselor. What 'I' observe, no matter for how long is only as good as agreeable with the Scripture. You might have to help me commun |

B.McCausland wrote: He exercises his undisputable providence to fulfill this pattern. Our salvation is not a half-hazard/after-thought/remedial issue that God tries to squeeze in, in spite of ill fate turning up around us. This is our concept, not God's. The reality comes well articulated in Titus 1:1-3 I'm quite speechless, makes it hard to join a discussion. |

Stevenr wrote: 2nd. I agree that a soldier giving his life to save others is noble; however, I do not see Sampson doing that. "...strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes." (Judges 16:28) He wasn't trying to save his people, (though God used it for that,) He was mad/sad/upset that he had lost his eyeballs and wanted revenge, and (this is conjecture,) didn't want to live blind. I hope you aren't offended if I join your discussion but since I agree with Jim's position I thought I'd put in my 2 cents. You don't believe that Sampson as a Chief Magistrate, a Judge could supplicate God for strength to avenge their common cause because his own strength was not sufficient to bring it to pass? |

You say it is 2.the innocence of KD, 3.the validity of the law of the State of Kentucky, 4.the tyranny of the law of the land O yeah, 1.the binding obligation of the marriage covenant as a lifetime covenant. "A true Christian would never participate in such wickedness." Which wickedness are you referring to? "We will all be faced with a KD moment. Will you stand on the Lord's side?" We are faced with KD moments, aren't you? First table violations? Second table violations? I'm unclear what is the most wicked violation in your mind? |

@Politics vs BiblePharisees were the religious leaders of Israel, and the Sadducees were the judicial branch of what was left of the returned *nation* after their captivity in Babylon. I could have used a concordance and made your point, but it is not a valid one. Now if you'd like to say that Mr. Trump is a member not in good standing (or good standing depending how you look at it) of a division of sectarianism, I'd agree. What you call a denomination in this case I call a misunderstanding of what has already been attained at best and at worst a synagogue of Satan. Big land in between possibilities that could only apply to individuals. Who is the us in this verse? Php 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Why do you find that interesting unless you're a Jew or Muslem? |

Hebrews 13:16 wrote: You know her personally then? and can vouch that is what she believes? Or are you omniscient? Remember......Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people. She probably doesn't. Porbably will never be able to ask her. How can she except by knowing what statement of faith she has decided to follow, implied by her church membership. I've never heard sc claim omniscience, do you? or do you know KD personally? |

@ Christopher,My motherly concern is: Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. The Sadducees didn't believe in the resurrection of the dead and you don't seen to quite understand what sanctification should look like. Rome is not easily removed from ex papists and or harlot daughters of Rome. Your situation is quite complex that is the nature of sin. I have come to understand my own (complex situation) in part. I had no idea for 23 years after conversion how God viewed all/every sin, my sin in particular. My whole life was displayed to my minds eye for consideration and confession of sin when the Lord sequestered me. Can relate to wanting a kind, understanding Christian ear and response to things you can't put all together in your mind. It is a time when that is not easy to find, if at all possible. I'm going to tell you a story. I want you to ponder it. Sometime ago now, my state gov was under investigation for prostitution and charged. It being still criminal, he left or was made to leave office, can't recall. The lieutenant gov. came next up. He had some bad press issues too. He came clean at a time when sin is taken lightly, by publicly confessing his affair, that he blamed on his wife. Neither man was fit for office. Ps.14 |

@ Frank, Fearful verseLast sentence I meant to say: Only Christ can keep covenant, we all by nature and practice break it. Every violation of the 3rd Commandment well all of them really, is a covenant violation. (not all are of the same weight in God's eyes as I understand it) @ political/hackland Mr. Trump is a follower of Norman Vincent Peel and the power of positive thinking, not Scriptural faith in the word of 'the Word' of Promise. No such thing as denominationalism, You mean Donald Trump's sect. If you knew anything about true Presbyterianism, you'd know it does not exist at this time except in the minds and prayers of those who desire it to order the true government of Christ's Household of Faith. Samuel Rutherford wrote on it. Not a quick read. A dear and missed brother GM taught me that people abuse what Rutherford taught to further their own misunderstanding. I believe our Scottish brethren's accomplishment was that of the second angel, Rev.14 though sometimes I'm tempted to think it was the third; because I've heard the third angels loud voice by the hearing of faith from their accomplishments and the labors of their posterity in "Sermon's in Times of Persecution" in Scotland. |

Frank wrote: Christ did say if we didn't love Him more than our children, wives, parents, et al, then we weren't worthy to follow Him. Difficult road sometimes, but we strangers have to walk it. Agreed.My children are silent about profession. My eldest is the most knowledgeable. He recently said "No one believes what you believe." I took offense and thought about it. I wasn't silent at the time but sinned in what I said next. The next time we got together I asked him, "Am I the only one that holds to a Confession of Faith? I suspect there are others who believe with what I believe." Nobody agrees on anything (he means doctrinally among professors and practically among confessors) Not enough space, but he is in a war between the truth he knows, the life he lives, and what he hears and sees. I have helped him by the things I do and hurt him with the things I say, fearful unbelieving things. He has been the most helpful to his father (when dying) and me with a struggling desire to do it, but a remaining natural affection. His siblings have no struggle or desire that I see, yet. The younger two are coming Saturday D.V. to scrap and make room for a delivery of wood, I think? You and I seem to understand Heb. 6 differently. |

Christopher,I believe I was the one that questioned if one could repent before self murder. I try to reason things thorough according to my knowledge base. I do not remember what I said exactly, but God does. I am a woman and have been given a portion but it was never a portion meant to function without the help of those God has appointed to help me. I thought the article Jim posted was balanced. It was helpful to me. It seemed one's election was the issue regarding the question. I do not believe any man knows another's election for sure. Not all know their own, but rather we should work by faith in love to the end of being enabled to know this comfort. Forgive me for being insensitive to how what I questioned could have been taken by you. I did not intend to add to your pain. I was 'trying' to defend my Husband Christ's teaching as I understood it. Pain is useful in the case of the elect when it is a Fatherly rod. I'm not a rod. I'm a broken reed. I'm even now the recipient of it. I am one who has benefited by it because Christ condescends to me, he neither quenches the smoking flax, nor breaks the broken reed. I am not a stranger to crushing. I read all you said but this needed to go first. My promise Ps. 92:14-15 You must fine yours for to |

Dolores wrote: ... you have no idea what deep darkness the mind can go to You (plural)do if you understand the nature of original sin and the war between the flesh and the Spirit.It is one thing to judge another as inferior to yourself and quite another to make a spiritual judgment. I don't believe that any but God has the right of condescension because he alone comes down to us whether in mercy or judgment. All men are equal in only one thing SIN that why Paul says: Rom 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. Rom 2:2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. Rom 2:3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? Dolores, because our understanding of what Scripture teaches is different you do not understand what I say and think I don't like you. I've been encouraged that you still fight on and like all of us you need help. I'll ask you this what do you think caused Elijah and David's depression? |
