Squeaky,

Squeaky,
I told you that edification is not the same thing as encouragement. Now, you tell me what edification is and edify me. You can always edify another person.
I said
Necessary Edification
Do you know what necessary edification is?
Do you know what grace is?
Do you know who the Holy Spirit is?
Eph 4.29-32"
29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is
good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.
30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Do you know what bitterness is?
31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.
32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
It is necessary to know the new testament verses, for the language of the Holy Spirit.
Grace is the law of Christ in the new testament.
The Holy Spirit only quotes verses.
Bitterness is an emotion.
[Eph 6:11-17
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places].
13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
Thank you. Great Scripture. I do not know that you view it or think of or about it correct or correctly. I disagree with your words.
I said
ROFLOL Do you really think I wanted you to agree with it?? Or that I thought you would? One of these days you will learn what bearing false witness means. Its when you disagree with something without showing any evidence.
Incorrect. Bearing false witness is when you say something that is false or wrong about someone, what they have said or done.
You have asked me to agree in the past.
I said
lol That is what you do. You have that denial spirit that denies everything I tell you and show you.
To deny something you may have to believe it. I do not know what you are talking about.

It is not law, brother that will allow us to walk the streets of Heaven, but as Jesus told us in Romans 10:9,10, we must accept him as our Lord and Savior and confess with our mouths he is our Lord. We shall be saved. Then we know we have a place in Heaven. Peace be with you.

Those whom God calls walk the streets of heaven. No sinner can savingly accept Christ unless God first calls them giving them a new heart and faith in Christ. To say anyone can accept Christ according to their free will is a deception foisted upon many souls. It rests on twisting of numerous scriptures.

There is no disputing what you state here. Indeed, John 3:16 tells us a little about this.

Hey squeaky.
How are you?
I hope you have been well.
Hey could you do me a solid and refrain from conversating with Jacob. You are in no way helping him or yourself.
Please attempt to be edifying and helpful if you must speak. Some look up to you or at least value your opinion, so please be mindful of the things that come out of your mouth that defile your spirit.
peace

I have no need or desire to talk to Jacob. Its obvious that he has lots of unclean spirits in him. Its also obvious that he was kicked out of Christianity so he tried the Jewish walk. I would be happy to drop him. I have asked him to get off my threads. He is an idiot when it comes to scripture. But as long as he comes on one of my threads spreading his heresy, I must refute it. Get him off my threads and I will be a happy camper.

Today is Chamishi. It is Yom, Day. It is Aviv 13.
I do not believe your doctrine.
I said
lolol Think about it, you don't really accept any doctrine. In the Jewish doctrine it says that Jesus are not allowed to speak to Gentiles. In the Christian doctrine it says that Jews are enemies of ours for Jesus sake. You really don't have a doctrine other than your naysayer doctrine.
No. Christians had doctrine. Not Jews.
Romans 11:28 KJV - As concerning the gospel, [they are] enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, [they are] beloved for the fathers' sakes.

How does one get kicked out of Christianity?
You apparently percieve him as lower than or under you.
Proverbs 18: 12. Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility. 14. The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? 17. He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him. 19. A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle. 20. A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. 21. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. 23. The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
. Job 24: 1. Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days? 2. Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof. 3. They drive away the *** of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge. 4. They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together. 5. Behold, as wild ***** in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children. 6. They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked. 7. They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold. 8. They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter. 9. They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor. 10. They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry; 11. Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst. 12. Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them. 13. They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof. 14. The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief. 15. The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face. 16. In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light. 17. For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death. 18. He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards. 19. Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned. 20. The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree. 21. He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow. 22. He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life. 23. Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways. 24. They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn. 25. And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
Proverbs 14: 1. Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. 2. He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him. 3. In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them. 6. A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth. 12. There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 16. A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. 17. He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated. 18. The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. 20. The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends. 21. He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he. 22. Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good. 25. A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies. 29. He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. 31. He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
Psalm 107: 23. They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; 24. These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. 25. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. 26. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. 27. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end. 28. Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. 29. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. 30. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. 31. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 35. He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. 36. And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation; 37. And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase. 38. He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease. 39. Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. 40. He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way. 41. Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock. 42. The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. 43. Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
Ezekiel 17: 22. Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent: 23. In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell. 24. And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.
James 1: 13. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14. But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 16. Do not err, my beloved brethren. 17. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 18. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. 19. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20. For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 21. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24. For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 26. If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. 27. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
Luke 16: 1. He said also to His disciples: "There was a rich man who had a steward, about whom a report was brought to him, that he was wasting his property. 2. He called him and said, "`What is this I hear about you? Render an account of your stewardship, for I cannot let you hold it any longer.' 3. "Then the steward said within himself, "`What am I to do? For my master is taking away the stewardship from me. I am not strong enough for field labour: to beg, I should be ashamed. 4. I see what to do, in order that when I am discharged from the stewardship they may give me a home in their own houses.' 5. "So he called all his master's debtors, one by one, and asked the first, `How much are you in debt to my master?' 6. "`A hundred firkins of oil,' he replied. "`Here is your account,' said the steward: `sit down quickly and change it into fifty firkins.' 7. "To a second he said, "`And how much do you owe?' "`A hundred quarters of wheat,' was the answer. "`Here is your account,' said he: `change it into eighty quarters.' 8. "And the master praised the dishonest steward for his shrewdness; for, in relation to their own contemporaries, the men of this age are shrewder than the sons of Light. 9. "But I charge you, so to use the wealth which is ever tempting to dishonesty as to win friends who, when it fails, shall welcome you to the tents that never perish. 10. The man who is honest in a very small matter is honest in a great one also; and he who is dishonest in a very small matter is dishonest in a great one also. 11. If therefore you have not proved yourselves faithful in dealing with the wealth that is tainted with fraud, who will entrust to you the true good? 12. And if you have not been faithful in dealing with that which is not your own, who will give you that which is your own? 13. "No servant can be in bondage to two masters. For either he will hate one and love the other, or else he will cling fast to one and scorn the other. You cannot be bondservants both of God and of gold." 14. To all this the Pharisees listened, bitterly jeering at Him; for they were lovers of money. 15. "You are they," He said to them, "who boast of their own goodness before men, but God sees your hearts; for that which holds a proud position among men is detestable in God's sight. 16. The Law and the Prophets continued until John came: from that time the Good News of the Kingdom of God has been spreading, and all classes have been forcing their way into it. 19. "There was once a rich man who habitually arrayed himself in purple and fine linen, and enjoyed a splendid banquet every day, 20. while at his outer door there lay a beggar, Lazarus by name, 21. covered with sores and longing to make a full meal off the scraps flung on the floor from the rich man's table. Nay, the dogs, too, used to come and lick his sores. 22. "But in course of time the beggar died; and he was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and had a funeral. 23. And in Hades, being in torment, he looked and saw Abraham in the far distance, and Lazarus resting in his arms. 24. So he cried aloud, and said, "`Father Abraham, take pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.' 30. "`No, father Abraham,' he pleaded; `but if some one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' 31. "`If they are deaf to Moses and the Prophets,' replied Abraham, `they would not be led to believe even if some one should rise from the dead.'"
Colossians 3: 16. Let the teaching concerning Christ remain as a rich treasure in your hearts. In all wisdom teach and admonish one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and sing with grace in your hearts to God. 23. Whatever you are doing, let your hearts be in your work, as a thing done for the Lord and not for men. 24. For you know that it is from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. Christ is the Master whose bondservants you are. 25. The man who perpetrates a wrong will find the wrong repaid to him; and with God there are no merely earthly distinctions.
James 2: 1. My brethren, you must not make distinctions between one man and another while you are striving to maintain faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our glory. 2. For suppose a man comes into one of your meetings wearing gold rings and fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man wearing shabby clothes, 3. and you pay court to the one who wears the fine clothes, and say, "Sit here; this is a good place;" while to the poor man you say, "Stand there, or sit on the floor at my feet;" 4. is it not plain that in your hearts you have little faith, seeing that you have become judges full of wrong thoughts? 5. Listen, my dearly-loved brethren. Has not God chosen those whom the world regards as poor to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which He has promised to those that love Him? 6. But *you* have put dishonour upon the poor man. Yet is it not the rich who grind you down? Are not they the very people who drag you into the Law courts? -- 7. and the very people who speak evil of the noble Name by which you are called? 8. If, however, you are keeping the Law as supreme, in obedience to the Commandment which says <"You are to love your fellow man just as you love yourself,"> you are acting rightly. 9. But if you are making distinctions between one man and another, you are guilty of sin, and are convicted by the Law as offenders. 10. A man who has kept the Law as a whole, but has failed to keep some one command, has become guilty of violating all. 12. Speak and act as those should who are expecting to be judged by the Law of freedom. 13. For he who shows no mercy will have judgement given against him without mercy; but mercy triumphs over judgement. 14. What good is it, my brethren, if a man professes to have faith, and yet his actions do not correspond? Can such faith save him? 15. Suppose a Christian brother or sister is poorly clad or lacks daily food, 16. and one of you says to them, "I wish you well; keep yourselves warm and well fed," and yet you do not give them what they need; what is the use of that? 17. So also faith, if it is unaccompanied by obedience, has no life in it--so long as it stands alone. 18. Nay, some one will say, "You have faith, I have actions: prove to me your faith apart from corresponding actions and I will prove mine to you by my actions. 19. You believe that God is one, and you are quite right: evil spirits also believe this, and shudder." 20. But, idle boaster, are you willing to be taught how it is that faith apart from obedience is worthless? Take the case of Abraham our forefather. 21. Was it, or was it not, because of his actions that he was declared to be righteous as the result of his having offered up his son Isaac upon the altar? 22. You notice that his faith was co-operating with his actions, and that by his actions his faith was perfected; 23. and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, <"And Abraham believed God, and his faith was placed to his credit as righteousness,"> and he received the name of `God's friend.' 24. You all see that it is because of actions that a man is pronounced righteous, and not simply because of faith. 25. In the same way also was not the notorious sinner Rahab declared to be righteous because of her actions when she welcomed the spies and hurriedly helped them to escape another way? 26. For just as a human body without a spirit is lifeless, so also faith is lifeless if it is unaccompanied by obedience.

Rev 22:18-19
18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;

Heb 10:28-29
28 Anyone who has rejected Moses' law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

xxThere are so many ways that one can be disqualified, and disciples dont know it. A disciple is a student or beginner in Christianity. Now because someone who has fallen from grace or fallen short or been disqualifed doesnt know it them selves. It is easy for them to lead a disciple down the wrong path. When God has turned a person over to a reprobate mind, the person doesnt have the spiritual knowledge to discern it, and they become the blind leading the blind. Also a hypocrite doesnt know he is a hypocrite. The only evidence of any of this is having less verses now than you had a year ago. Because a christians growth, is in their growing in the Spirit, or in the idea that their still teaching the same thing today that they taught a year ago, if their on the same message. Where is their growth? This is the way to check yourself.
Rev 2:5
5 "Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place-- unless you repent.

Jude 1:1-7
1 Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ:
2 Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.
4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
6 And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;
7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
(NKJ)
Rom 11:19-22
19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in."
20 Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear.
21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.
22 Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.
(NKJ)
Heb 2:1-3
1 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.
2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward,
3 how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.

Heb 10:28-29

xxThere are so many ways that one can be disqualified, and disciples dont know it. A disciple is a student or beginner in Christianity. Now because someone who has fallen from grace or fallen short or been disqualifed doesnt know it them selves. It is easy for them to lead a disciple down the wrong path. When God has turned a person over to a reprobate mind, the person doesnt have the spiritual knowledge to discern it, and they become the blind leading the blind. Also a hypocrite doesnt know he is a hypocrite. The only evidence of any of this is having less verses now than you had a year ago. Because a christians growth, is in their growing in the Spirit, or in the idea that their still teaching the same thing today that they taught a year ago, if their on the same message. Where is their growth? This is the way to check yourself.
Rev 2:5
5 "Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place-- unless you repent.

Heb 10:38-39

(NKJ)
Jude 1:1-7
1 Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ:
2 Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.
4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
6 And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;
7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
(NKJ)
Rom 11:19-22
19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in."
20 Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear.
21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.
22 Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.
(NKJ)
Heb 2:1-3
1 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.
2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward,
3 how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,
