WGWho in the wide wide world of sports is... US ?Quote:
God has already given us salvation.
Excuse me!! But your statement above seems to me the height of arrogance and presumption. Or maybe you just don't really grasp what salvation is all about.
And salvation has everything to do with seeking God, in my opinion. Although our seeking it in no way guarantees anything. Nevertheless it is the one overriding and compellingly urgent reason why we should continue to seek God.
WGI don't give two hoots about what you said.Quote:
Our seeking God is part of Sanctification. I said we seek God in the faces of all those around us, ministering to the least among us.
It's what the Bible says that counts.
I already quoted the Bible. None of this is from me.Quote:

Wondergirl said:That's WG's latest statement on the issue of seeking God. Right now this minute I'm not going to go looking all over this site to find any Bible verses she may have given to support that assertion.Quote:

I'm saying that the assertion she made should not be left standing by itself like it is. She should have immediately included at least one good Bible reference to support her sentence. Anyone can make any assertions they please, as far as I'm concerened. But here we're trying to help answer a question and hopefully supply some food for thought and also possibly some corroboration for our claims.
So, she already gave her biblical references for such things, but because you don't feel like going to find them (apparently didn't notice them the first time?), she should reinvent the wheel. Wow. I'm out of this discussion as well.Quote:

HSB,
Do you go back and read the things you say to people? You are rude and proud. Or were you too busy being obnoxious to notice . WG was being nice to you.
You keep offending everyone and they will leave the threads... then you won't have anyone to share that wealth of knowledge in your bonehead... errrr.. I mean headstrong mind of yours. So knock it off. Lest you are left with no one to discuss with.
Yes the Bible itself says that God gives grace to the humble, and He resists the proud.
Therefore, to put oneself into an environment where God is saving, we should strive to be as humble as possible toward God. And if that means stepping on a few toes, here and there, so be it.
The point is that we should obey God, and fear God rather than fear displeasing people.
The earthquake in Japan is just another preview of the grand-daddy of all earthquakes that's coming May 21, 2011. Repent... now while there is still time.
The tsunami that hit Japan is an indicator of what an 8.8 earthquake is capable of. And an earthquake is an indicator of plate tectonics. Plate tectonics are a part of the geology of the Earth.
Okay I'm not much of a scientist AT ALL but I at least know that there are physical reasons earthquakes and tsunamis happen.
My heart aches for Japan and those who lost homes and loved ones. I pray for their healing.
I am sorry to have revisited this thread, I just do not like it when people use natural disasters or terrorism as a reason to say people must repent.
I'm not much of a scientist either. But this thread is about seeking God. And God is in charge of all things, including plate tectonics.
So, I'd say it's not much of a stretch to presume God is warning us with the current series of quakes. As we approach the day of May 21, 2011.
And as far as really seeking God, there is no time like the present to seek God. Salvation may still be found. Like it or not.
Using natural disasters and the misery of others to try and push one's agenda is the height of tackiness. Unfortunately, it's not all that surprising out of you.Quote:

Not at all. I never said that salvation could not be found. You seem to be just as lax in paying attention to what I've written as you claim I am. I've maintained all along that believing in Jesus, accepting Jesus, being baptized in water, and following the rules of the churches, is not the way to find salvation.Quote:

ROM 10:9-10, 13 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."Quote:

Let GOD be true and every man a liar. Bummer HSB:p
Not at all. The verses you've quoted come from the Bible. No doubt about that. But you've presented them in a way that slants your message in a certain direction. Talk about lack of balance!!Quote:

To be faithful to the whole Bible (the whole gospel) we must remember to include the warning about Judgment Day, May 21, 2011. Which is almost upon us now.
OK where EXACTLY in the Bible is this date given according to your false teachings??Quote:
