Dear pops,
I find that I am very much pleased with what you write according to how your experiences have been in your life, and according to the path you've journeyed upon in your quest to please God and yourself in your life. In other words, I'd like to know where do you live, are you male or female, how old are you to be this wise already? If you are old, I will understand somewhat. You have a wonderful way of expressing the complexity of being saved and pleasing God after that Salvation.
Being saved goes hand in hand with, once you've been saved, you seek to do God's Will in your life and live your life to please Him instead of yourself. Abraham, Noah, and Moses did this! And you seek out those who need to know certain things and you express that to them.
What I am seeing here is that Truster, glorydaz, etc. claim to not be doing ways that are not to God's pleasing, so they are fine. I think that faith, being saved, Christ taking over your life, and you living without sin and suppressing sin are all okay to be commended. So what I am seeing here is that Truster and glorydaz are right, and so are we, Meshak, you, marhig, God's Truth, we are all right, too. They claim to be living their lives sin-free, so they are just fine. But they should not be expressing the railing against of keeping Jesus' commandments, and God's commandments as part of their salvation. That is the part that bewilders me. I hope you won't mind if I post this Private Message to everyone else on this thread.
I just had to contact you. You are the epitome of the same things I've gone through. Seeking to please God by expelling all the ways of Satan out of my sight!! Watch the devil tremble and flee from the spirit of God within me. But life is the way in such that we are all tested like Job, so that we can be perfected somehow to learn to help others on Earth by going through some of the ways that they have. We are being groomed to help God, to be servants, like the angels, and to do the work of the angels by helping mankind, our brothers and sisters, through the trials of their lives. You might want to see Dan. 12:3KJV; if you can understand it, great! If you can't, let me know, and I will explain how it is that we are being groomed to be like the stars, the angels homes, the host of Heaven are all of His angels and their superiors, etc., like archangels, guardian angels, etc. God is raising up, out of the Milky Way, children, servants like the angels, to increase His Army, and He is wise to do just that!! You are in for a real treat once God lets you know about some of His Mysteries. I can't tell you yet, because you aren't ready.
Okay, I'd best close this for now. I just want everyone to learn these things so that they can grow too. We are ALL in THIS TOGETHER!! If we express what we are going through in life and what we are learning from God and Jesus, then we are helping each other grow and to cause each other to be ready for God's privileged place, called Heaven, and the New Jerusalem. All of you, be at peace, and no one seems to be doing any wrong, except to deny that Jesus gave us two commandments that we are supposed to keep, which means that 'WORKS' or keeping commandments, does matter. Jesus also said that if we can keep these two commandments, then our love for God and Him shall help us keep all of the commandments He directs us to.
Yes, we are saved by grace. And by grace, we live to please God and His Son. Life is this way. Embrace each other, brethren. You're both on the right track.
Much LOVE, In CHRIST,
Michael
