:doh: And now you judge not only 'how' God saves, but who (and vise versa, same ball).We cross a line when we call a child of Satan brother.
We don't know their final outcome, but we are able to judge the state they are in now. I have a duty to do so and will do so as long as I am under His authority.
I have a neighbour who apperd at my door 6 years ago. He just stood there and then said, ''I'm like you now''! I said ''what""?
Like you he said, ''I'm a Christian now!''
I asked him who told him he was a Christian and he said the pastor in the ABC Ifion!
I told him this. Go back down there and tell him, he knows who I am' that (my name) says he's a liar. because you are not a Christian. He wasn't and he isn't…period.
Would you have me give that man a false security? That would be as disgusting a thing as I have ever heard of.
Did Tom Jones judge other peoples souls?
Maybe he had to get all those wild oats sown before he felt his eyes were clear of planks enough to remove others' splinters. :chuckle:
I'm lost on the nuance I guess. Maybe Thunder's Muse will clue me in?
Truster hails from Wales. Tom Jones is Welsh. Was hoping Truster had at least a smidgen of coolness about him.
Ok! I get it now. I sincerely doubt your hopes will be fulfilled.
This is a dark thread. I am so ashamed of those who are acting like sharks who smell blood.

Unlike you, I don't consider all those who CLAIM the blood of Jesus or who CLAIM to call upon the name of the Lord to be members of the body of Christ. Truster can claim whatever he likes, but his posts have revealed his true standing. You have claimed to call on the Lord, but you preach the Law....thus I can't consider you IN CHRIST, either. You preach the same message Jason does, that believers can move in and out of Christ as if He was a revolving door instead of THE DOOR.
To put it simply, I don't fall for the CLAIMS people make when their message is contrary to the Word of God.
This is a dark thread. I am so ashamed of those who are acting like sharks who smell blood.
I would argue that we are simply incapable of judging the state they are in now.
It is not our role to give anyone security. Easy believe-ism is just as dangerous. Why not have asked the poor fellow what he was trusting in for his salvation? Why not give him the Gospel? Why send him back to a man you believe led him down the wrong road? From your comment, the man was ripe to hear the Gospel and you turned him away.
This is a dark thread.
Yes, yes, I know, you "judge all things" but are not judged.
The danger ... putting [one's]self in God's place. We don't literally judge all things, we evaluate (not judge) all things. There is but One Judge and He judges rightly between you and I.
Yep I turned him away. Because like most of the people on here they know a little and they think they have it all. What they have is nothing, but to admit that is impossible. Auto-salvation is fools gold.
You tell me not to judge, but you were really quick off the mark there to judge me. And do so in regard to circumstances you know very little about. For a man that can't judge you do a very good impersonation of one that does. Hypocrite comes to mind!
Better to be seen as rude and non-responsive than to have integrity and honor in declaring a thing, like the ignore feature. The feature would seem to protect both integrity and honour, to each of the parties involved. :idunno:
No, it does not. There is a difference between judging what you say and judging your soul. She is judging your (not God's) words.You tell me not to judge, but you were really quick off the mark there to judge me. And do so in regard to circumstances you know very little about. For a man that can't judge you do a very good impersonation of one that does. Hypocrite comes to mind!
I think I stated here that we are all capable of that. lain:
