With over thirty years of experience and much study in following Christ, the problem of sectarinism has crippled all of Christanity
Calvin and Luther and Wesley, oh my! In the book of Philippians 2, verse 9, God has given Jesus a name that is above every name -- that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow. So these three are major threats to our direct relation with God. We are not to follow the Bible by how they see it and divide the Christian community accordingly, fracturing One Faith. We are not even to follow St. Paul. We are to surrender ourselves, waiting on the Lord by spirit and grace, to reveal Truth. Codifying systems of belief is the death of our unique relationship with the heavenly. As my signature line for me says, "The more God takes us over, the more our true selves we become" (C.S. Lewis) and we can't do that by following another's path.
But this is just how I see things.

Satan loves religion. Think about it.

I agree thoroughly. That is what I was saying.

The hyper grace movement you espouse is not biblical.
There is only one path and as you pointed out it is through no man. Christ is the way, the truth and the life.

Satan loves no one, but he uses the unsaved to accomplish his plan!

I agree and I will pray for you. Oh, or was that meant to be directed at me?

It was just a word of precaution! It wasn’t directed at anyone specifically.
Satan is real and his evil plan is real!

What about the topic? You are being troll-like not addressing it. But the caution is good, thank you

She isn’t trolling and addressed your answer. If you want to control how people post then I suggest you start your own forum. There are many free options.

She did not address the topic. She is free to do so in her own way. Otherwise, it is trolling.

Be honest. She addressed your answer to lpnmajor and as such was on topic. Even if she had not been it would not have been trolling.

After almost 7 years on this forum, this is what I’ve observed! A person creates a thread, someone responds, then someone else responds to that comment, then another response, and so on! Before it’s over, the original subject has gone into several different directions! I responded to the comment that Satan loves religion! I also responded in agreement with Rose’s response! Now I have responded to your comment that I am a troll!
This is what happens when people have a conversation, it is a progression that goes into different directions much of the time, but as usual you spend most of your time whining and complaining that others just won’t play like you want them too! LOL! And…….how often have I or someone else presented a different opinion to you, along with our proof, only to have you totally ignore it or just disappear?
Just bring in one or more of your other personalities, like you often do, and create your own perfect conversation…….problem solved!

If Jesus wasn't a man, how did he actually die?
