You [Dolores] have a tender heart and therefore try and see the good in everyone. This does not fit you to see that there are hardened enemies of the cross of Christ, who are human and therefore will draw out your compassion, but they are seduced by the doctrines of devils and strongly in his grip to do his bidding. When they appear spewing their filth and oppose the gospel, which is the power of God to save, their motives are anything but benign...

John UK, my dear brother,

Which two entities was the Lord Jesus Christ addressing when he said, "get thee behind me Satan"? (Matthew16:23, Mark 8:33, Luke 4:8,)

Everyone at SermonAudio that is not blind, and it is an open question what the total is, please note the time of Troll Spotter's 10/26/14 7:40 AM post and the time of my post before his 10/26/14 7:40 AM post and read my post then pay attention to this:

Proverbs 18:13 KJV

He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.

Proverbs 26:20 KJV

Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

October 26, 2014

Proverbs 26:21 KJV

As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.

Proverbs 26:22 KJV

The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

Christopher my dear friend

Chris: "There have been sporadic reports across the state of magistrates stepping down due to their personal objections to same-sex marriage." - said the magistrate/part time pastor. I don't believe there are all that many Christians who would be as strong when faced with such adversity for fear of financial ruin."

I think you are right Chris. There are a lot of phony Christians passing themselves off as saved born again Christians when in fact they are not.

I recall an FBI sting against Baptist pastor "Christians" who turned out to be Klu Klux Klan riders by night terrorizing African Americans. Jesus by day, hate mongers by night.

Proverbs 26:4 KJV

Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

Proverbs 26:10 KJV

The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.

Franklin and Islam...maybe or maybe not
Franklin and Billy understanding, let alone practising Holiness, separation from false teachings and teachers in genuine Biblical Christianity ... imho they are in a $omewhat proffitable (very popular, influential and deceiving) fantasy of religious make believe
AND let me pause and stop here and humbly thank God for everyone who has come to genuine salvation, to being truly born again of the Spirit of God, not so much because of the Grahams but inspite of them. To me it is kind of like Paul in prison suffering for his obedience to Christ rejoicing that Jesus Christ was being proclaimed in my words even poorly by some

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

Did you ever read the book Rebel With A Cause? I did. I read that book courtesy of the author of the book who sent me a totally free copy no strings attached. The Rebel With A Cause book that I was sent is 320 pages long and measures 6" by 9".

Matthew 10:8 KJV

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

Titus 1:13 KJV

This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

Galatians 2:10 KJV

But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.

2 Peter 3:15-16 KJV

And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

Mark 4:9

And he [Jesus Christ] said unto them [All the women and men at SermonAudio], He [and She] that hath ears to hear, let him [and her] hear.

Dopey 1:1

And the ones of you, men and women, at SermonAudio that don't have ears to hear just keep on back biting each other and laying false charges against saved brothers and generally being as foolish as you currently are.

P.S.

Good choice Dopey
Pointless is correct. TS is a textbook definition of Totally Depraved. Worse, it sits here 24/7 to spew vile responses about issues it clearly doesnt understand.
I would recommend the doomed creature spend its time listening to the treasure of fine sermons here, but I think it would only pervert and corrupt whatever truth it heard

The Secret SteveR is found in Scripture I previously quoted:

Habakkuk 1:5 KJV

Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.

Acts 13:40-41

The dispute was NOT over DOCTRINE.
Now perhaps you can explain to me what it is in my long post that you disagree with, seeing it is fundamental, sound doctrine, which all those involved in the Acts 15 dispute believed? Hmmmm?

John UK wrote:
...
Where's the problem?

There was a major dispute between two good friends.

Which one of the two kept harping that he had the right answer and the other one didn't? The correct answer is neither one. They agreed to disagree and thus the dispute only involved one point and while they disputed over that one point they still remained good friends.

I can easily defend my position from Scripture but the explanation is complicated and involved and will leave a lot of people confused and not understanding certain things.

I am certain I won't have to apologize at the Judgement Seat of Christ for what I have stated so far so why not leave that between me and God. And agree to disagree with me on this point we are having a dispute about and still remain friends and not have to be "right" in anybody's eyes but God's?

Proverbs 23:21 KJV

For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

With Proverbs 23 we get to tell the youth of Scotland, who are drinking to excess, that as drunkards they have no future for God guarantees (2 Timothy 3:16) they shall come to poverty which is a spiritual truth in that no drunkard shall inherit the kingdom of God but rather they shall all burn in hell then the lake of fire.

Their poverty shall be for eternity unless they are rescued and at this point the rescuer, the Lord Jesus Christ, can be introduced into the conversation.

There are many ways to get at various gospel points when witnessing to Scotland's alcoholic youth by using the outline I have presented through this post in combination with my 10/23/14 1:02 PM post.

David, I don't know where you're going with this, so hopefully you will explain yourself today. It's far better than procrastination.
I cannot see any paradox nor contradiction...

John Acts 15:36-41 is a good place to start for two good friends who have a disagreement.

If you were going to quote proverbs 23 to them, it should be these verses:
Proverbs 23:29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? 23:30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. 23:31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. 23:32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. 23:33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. 23:34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. 23:35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

In relationship to what I was trying to achieve I like your answer the best, though I like several other answers very much.

It is obvious to a perceptive person where the Spirit of God was leading. In that my "More" was from Proverbs 23 and had to do with advice against stupid drinking by men and women.

Foolish idea! There is enough offense in the cross without you adding to it by your silly insults! We are called to win people, not put their backs up!

P.S.

I have an appointment for 2:00 pm est. which is 14 minutes from now, and I have to get ready to leave. My "more" won't get answered by me until 3:00 pm at the earliest.

Let's see what do we need here and now? I know!! A timely message for Scottish youth from people who are willing to try and reach them.

I wonder if there are any such born again Christians in Scotland?

Now where can we get a timely message for Scottish youth? I know!! Where I am it is 12:47 est. on October 23. How about something out of Proverbs 23.

Do you know there are people who make sure they are trying to line up the book of Proverbs with each day of the month and then reading that chapter of the book of Proverbs?

Proverbs 23:9 KJV

Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

A winning technique might be to first ask the one you want to witness to if he or she is a "fool".

I hate to admit it, but unfortunately since my comments at SermonAudio are sponsored I have to take a time out here to give time to showcase my sponsor. I hope no one will criticize me too much, a few bucks is a few bucks.

It's not an easy one, Chris. Bill claims that Jesus has given him a message to take to the people. I've had a look around on his official website, as he is now in fulltime ministry after he and his wife had both been estate agents. There isn't enough info to evaluate his doctrinal position, although he appears to hold the fundamentalist take on making a decision for Christ and being saved through faith alone in Christ alone. He is claiming thousands of conversions.
I've not read the book, but he seems to have a heightened awareness of the fact of hellfire. But I don't know. Sorry I can't offer an opinion. But we just go on preaching about hell from the Bible and salvation in Christ Jesus.

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

John, "it's not an easy one"?
I say, "it's not a hard one", if we let 1 John 4:1 really sink in. All we need is

(1) to allow God to reveal some fool proof tests for us to use.
