Forky, I appreciate the sympathy. The doctor said the shot should help a lot and the cream is doing wonders for the rash. I'll let you know when it is all cleared up.

Gosh Forky, don't it break two of the rules of Forksterism to steal from a Baptist Minister as "proof" of your argument?

If you can't have two "teachers" why are you using Pastor Rick's website to learn new things.

I feel so sorry for you. I was using his interpretation. Is it biblical?

Gosh Forky, don't it break two of the rules of Forksterism to steal from a Baptist Minister as "proof" of your argument?

If you can't have two "teachers" why are you using Pastor Rick's website to learn new things?

Weren't it you what said earlier today that folks ort to read the Bible first themselves and not depend on pteachers? So, why is it that you decided to steal from good Ole "Pastor Rick?"

"How to Receive the Grace of God" PastorRick.com

The least you could do is give credit to the author when you steal his writings. Its not like anyone could believe you could use the word "commodity" in a sentence without professional help.

Plagiarism is intellectual theft. I guess Forksterism has exceptions to "Thou Shalt Not Steal" as well as "Don't do any work on Saturday."

Without FAITH you can't receive GRACE

The Bible says in John 1:17, "For the law was given through Moses, but God's unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ" (NLT).

God's grace is entirely wrapped up in a person: Jesus. You can't get it through religion or ritual. You can't get it by following the rules.

You get it through Jesus.

God's grace is free. You simply need to accept it.

But let me be very clear: God's grace is not cheap. It cost Jesus his life. Grace is the most expensive commodity there is. Jesus died on the cross to pay for it.

Jesus' death on the cross accomplished three things in our lives:

It paid the penalty for sin. Someone had to pay for the penalty for our sin. If you have a relationship with Jesus, he has taken care of your penalty.
It broke the power of sin. Jesus' death on the cross gives us the power to change the habits, hurts, and hang-ups that derail our lives.
The presence of sin will be obliterated. One day all who follow Jesus will go to heaven, where there won't be any sin.
The costly grace God offers will change everything about your life.

Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus

24 Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul

Ole Forky can't stand for some old timey preaching, it makes him slither and hiss and start striking out like that serpent what was in Eden.

You cannot reason with someone thats unreasonable mhj has shown that trait for while now.He has to crusify or he aint done his duty Hes as bad a Jehovah Witness as I have ever seen an I have seen some duzzies Granted I have never seen mhj, a fellow might like him if you ever ran into him.

Hi Michael, when you can abide the scripture that I shared with you, I will believe that you know something about some of the scriptures that you share.

((((()You cannot cherry pick what you believe what you do not believe ))))
&&&&&&

Not Cherry picking nothing. Just show that you should have Gods LAWS in you. Gods laws are moral laws. It puts boundaries on our lives. But you got to accept Jesus at his WORD not NOBODY else. Only Jesus Saves us through his teaching of the Good News that is offered to us if we believe in God.

What does Paul say in his letters that's not of Jesus. Pauls interpretation of what Jesus taught.

By Grace you are SAVED THROUGH FAITH.
So if you read it correctly you WILL see that it is THROUGH FAITH we received GRACE. .
God GIVES it freely to those that keep the FAITH. Jesus knows your Heart.

Hi Michael, when you can abide the scripture that I shared with you, I will believe that you know something about some of the scriptures that you share. You cannot cherry pick what you believe what you do not believe.

Paul also sent letters to the Galatians.

19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God

What are the LAWS in the Kingdom of God?

Jesus Announces the Good News

14 After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. 15 "The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news

Paul also left a letter on Christianity..

1 Timothy 4
New Living Translation
Warnings against False Teachers
4 Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons. 2 These people are hypocrites and liars, and their consciences are dead.[a]

3 They will say it is wrong to be married and wrong to eat certain foods. But God created those foods to be eaten with thanks by faithful people who know the truth. 4 Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it but receive it with thanks. 5 For we know it is made acceptable[b] by the word of God and prayer.

A Good Servant of Christ Jesus
6 If you explain these things to the brothers and sisters,[c] Timothy, you will be a worthy servant of Christ Jesus, one who is nourished by the message of faith and the good teaching you have followed. 7 Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives' tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly. 8 "Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come." 9 This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it. 10 This is why we work hard and continue to struggle,[d] for our hope is in the living God, who is the Savior of all people and particularly of all believers.

By the way Paul also said.

Ephesians 5
New Living Translation
Living in the Light

5 Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. 2 Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us[a] and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.

3 Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God's people. 4 Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes-these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God. 5 You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.

6 Don't be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the anger of God will fall on all who disobey him. 7 Don't participate in the things these people do. 8 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! 9 For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.

10 Carefully determine what pleases the Lord. 11 Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them. 12 It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret. 13 But their evil intentions will be exposed when the light shines on them, 14 for the light makes everything visible. This is why it is said,

"Awake, O sleeper,
rise up from the dead,
and Christ will give you light."

Jesus says a sinner is a servant to Sin. Paul says

When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin. 10 But I wasn't talking about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin, or are greedy, or cheat people, or worship idols. You would have to leave this world to avoid people like that. 11 I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer[j] yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don't even eat with such people.

12 It isn't my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning. 13 God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, "You must remove the evil person from among you."[k]

Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenæus and Philetus;
