If you want a dangerous place to preach the gospel to the vilest of the vile where it ISN'T welcome, try it in a church!
I found the gospel to be relatively welcome in prison.

You got a point there! Or in an online forum.
by Jesus-is-GODSorry Lisa, I didn't realize that I hadn't answered this. I hitch-hike on some unsecured wireless connection, as I've said, and it fades in and out - so GOD only knows what I've missed.Anyhow - John 16:13,14 applies to that situation as well.

I love how those of us who follow the Bible are called "legalist", "immature in the faith", "hindering revival", "not knowing grace"...What a bunch of baloney. Do you all even know what your saying? Your saying that the Lord's Word is void. Your saying the Lord is a liar in His word. Your saying that you know better then the Lord...I too fasted from these forums for some time. But I do not threaten to leave if I do not get my way.And I think that train of thought, either I get my way or I will leave, permeates throughout the 20th-21st century "church". People don't like what they hear, regardless if it is scriptual, so they move over to something that will "tickle their ears". They surround themselves with people who agree with them and think like them, so they can feel that they are self rightous in their moving and belief. Straight pride.If following the Word offends you, great. Conviction is a powerful tool that the Lord uses. If you wish to turn your back on the Word, then it is better that you not be offended by it. Be blessed.

No one to my knowledge has accused people of being legalistic if they "followed the Bible". What does "follow the Bible" mean to you? The Bible says, we follow Christ. Jesus said, "follow Me".He brings life to His Word by following Him. Joh 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Pilgrim
I wondering if half of those who disagree actually leave their computer room or church to work with the lost to actually apply what they believe first hand.

Yeah, but you gotta go easy on Lisa because she is trying to make a point about legalists putting burdens on others but they won't lift a finger to carry any "loads". We don't always say things the right way, do we? And we don't always understand things the way they were intended, either.We all know that living for the Lord is not about what we do, but rather knowing Him personally and being obedient to His Spirit leading us personally.
