When you say ... "it"... you mean Revelation 9... Which says this...
These people are Eternally DAMNED... and I would hope you have enough understanding of Revelation to quote such a verse. It is POWERFUL and Final. You are either hiding behind double talk, or misusing scripture.
Is Revelation 9... not final to you... because the group you connected my friends to... bind to Destruction... and if you didn't catch that you were Damning my friends with the idea that they are "Unrepentant"...
As in this...
Which you followed with this... in response to the exact line about my friends... which you specifically quoted.
And... I rightfully blasted you for saying because I suspected it was out of ... this...
I'm far from your accusation. You are speaking out of both sides of your mouth towards me and you are sincerely beginning to reveal a side of you I suspected, but tried to avoid addressing.
[MENTION=13955]glorydaz[/MENTION] is attempting to re-frame your demeanor... but anyone who reads this thread without bias and knowledge of Grace verbiage can see why I am making a point on an OP that I agree with... to the OP author who is out of sorts and hostile towards a fellow grace believer that never condones drugs as positive.
I'm glad that you are placing me on ignore... because your fork tounged use of scripture isn't acceptable to me. I have more evidence of your dishonesty here...
And this is what I susspected you would say.... See... I never fail to identify sin as sin. I was very clear... here...
And... you equated Drug use with loss of salvation by quoting Revelation 9 and linking the very final judgment of people with drug users.
You're being decietful. Glorydaz and Tambora have been clear now... and Lon too... but you are claiming that my use of grace is equating Jesus to Promotion of Sin... or sort of using Grace as a licence to SIN... in saying I "Defend the Sin".
If you don't understand that you are doing this... I will chalk it up to a lack of verbal and scriptural clarity on your part. if you do understand... then you need to be enormously clear and quit straddling the condemnation side and the grace side of matters, while being deceitful about what is going on here.
I'm easy to deal with... but you aren't being clear, and you aren't understanding that Revelation 9 is a final condemnation... or you are and you are trying to hide your implication.
Please clarify your intentions of binding my friends to Revelation 9 and why you are missing what is really occurring here. I figured your lack of answer was an end of this back and forth and counted this matter squashed.
If you don't care to answer with enormous clarity and a removal of your calling me a liar... I will maintain my assumption... which doesn't effect you... but... I am a forgiving and Loving person, and i don't see where you are coming from, in saying things like this...
Sometimes.... God answer those struggling with this...
Do you understand this? If you don't... you're missing the most powerful part of the gospel. You are focusing on the effect on the flesh, and missing that God relates to all differently... as all are unique. He alone knows the heart. This is my point, and you are focusing on it and clearly not handling it well.
I would really like to see this worked out... but I'm cool if you stay in a slanderous tizzy. You are accountable for your words though, and no ones restating of them... but you... will count to me. You speak for yourself and all the other words from others aren't from you.
Your use of "My God" in a phrase towards me implies that you think I worship another God... and honestly... you are being defended by some good people... but you are seriously messing up... as far as I am concerned... because a bunch of eyes are on this thread that want to state that Christians are double talk and condemnation... IOW... Your salt is losing its saltiness.
I think the use of "My God"... on your part.. was either an accidental implication or a hidden one... but I wrote this in the same thread and you could have read it... thus... it is kind of off that you even attempted to employ such a literary statement.
This is my response to all of this.

I used it in reference to recreational drug use culture period.(quoted revelation, Gods word not my word)
When you say ... "it"... you mean Revelation 9... Which says this...
Revelation 9 ... 9:20 But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. 21 And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
These people are Eternally DAMNED... and I would hope you have enough understanding of Revelation to quote such a verse. It is POWERFUL and Final. You are either hiding behind double talk, or misusing scripture.

As in this...
I'll get right to it... I have friends that have done drugs and I have friends that still spark up. But... and I emphasize BUT... Recreational Pharmaceuticals have never... ever... done a good thing for many people. Sure... there are the exceptions, and there are those that self medicate on a psychotropic scale, instead of blowing their brains out... but if a person needs to alter their chemical state to get close to God... they are doing something wrong.
The Gospel is sufficient for me. ... Understatement...
Which you followed with this... in response to the exact line about my friends... which you specifically quoted.
And they did not repent of their sorcery/drug use...
And... I rightfully blasted you for saying because I suspected it was out of ... this...
I quoted revelation,
Revelation 9:21 and they did not repent of their murders nor of their sorceries(/drug use) nor of their immorality nor of their thefts.
The word translated as sorcery there, is the greek word that drugs and pharmacy comes from directly.
your argument is with God, not me, He said it. Also there is a reason that America consumes more drugs than any other country in the world.
Is God so impotent to you, that He will not help stop those who wish to stop? Does He put it into their mouth/veins?
I have compassion for those trapped in sin, but i offer up the solution (Him, on your knees) instead the walk into hell (im ok youre ok and how dare anyone call you on sin and your need for a savior)
My God is strong enough, is yours? Bless me some more for speaking the truth.
You've done nothing but lie and imply and add to what was stated to create a huge lie, youve even been corrected by others and wont come of off it.
I'm far from your accusation. You are speaking out of both sides of your mouth towards me and you are sincerely beginning to reveal a side of you I suspected, but tried to avoid addressing.
I am placing you on ignore because i can think of no good reason to continue speaking with you since i even corrected you the other day and you are still ranting lies.
[MENTION=13955]glorydaz[/MENTION] is attempting to re-frame your demeanor... but anyone who reads this thread without bias and knowledge of Grace verbiage can see why I am making a point on an OP that I agree with... to the OP author who is out of sorts and hostile towards a fellow grace believer that never condones drugs as positive.
I'm glad that you are placing me on ignore... because your fork tounged use of scripture isn't acceptable to me. I have more evidence of your dishonesty here...
Hes not hearing, me, lon, you, he is refusing to get it, because he wants to defend the sin. No one at any time equated their sin condition to salvation.
And this is what I susspected you would say.... See... I never fail to identify sin as sin. I was very clear... here...

The Gospel is sufficient for me. ... Understatement...
Pan Theism and Pan-an-theism are two separate matters. One binds man to being... literally ONE with God like Jesus "IS". The other binds to a study of what the Source of life within ALL living things "Is".
Could you provide one biblical text where a prophet was tripping eggs to "get closer to God"?
If you can't... your "commentary" most certainly... does not hold.
There are drug addicts that are saved and will die in the grips of addiction... but if you ask these individuals if the addiction is "helping" their relationship with God... they will most assuredly attest that it only shows them how badly they need Him.
Addiction is miserable and drugs are a chemical high that fades and requires a recharge...
That Good Good Jesus WATER quenches and provides the eternal well that springs up from within... and no... I like me some good drinks now and again... but the fire water isn't the WATER...
Grace through Faith and the realization that God embraces us with His very own Humble Heart is more than enough to propel anyone into a never ending "Spiritual TRIP".
If the pastors wanted an excuse to experiment with drugs... they should have simply taken a break from the ministry and sewed those oats.
The entire idea is corrupt and observably lame.
I respect that some people need to sincerely detach themselves from reality... but the idea of a drug inspired sermon isn't a good idea!
A drug inspired novel? Yup... those are always pretty good... but mixing faith and Chemistry is always a quick trip down a prim-rose path that leads to ... Ozzy. I'm not knocking the guy... I'm just sayen.Spoiler

2 Corinthians 12:9
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

You can't bypass Jesus...
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
There is no OTHER WAY... (period)
The "inner Divine" {1 John 2:27; Rm. 8:9; Php. 1:19; Mt. 23:8, Eph. 1:13) isn't "bypassing" or "snorting" "assumption based tradition". Harmony and Unity are grand... but ... er... no. Many rivers, one Ocean is a bunch of B to the S. Many People, ONE JESUS.
Does that bother you Zeke? I'm quite adamantly fond of making it clear that Jesus is the ONLY Way... Just like He was and IS. I know that some will be saved that won't even know HIS NAME. But... and I emphasize BUT... that Name is attached to Luke 2:11.
Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Many Rivers... ONLY ONE JESUS. Anyone who says that Jesus must be gone past or bypassed to be saved, get to THE FATHER or Imbibe in the Divine, is a FLAT OUT...
This is my response to all of this.
