“seeing as the midnight hour approaches fast, any last words of advice on some last-minute oil I can store up? [Resources].”

Perhaps give the brother some advice Staff. Since he started this post innocently trying to prepare for Christ.

I’m certain you can do better than this..


“If you work hard enough at it and do all the right things you will be able to get to heaven without grace!
I think all the people who want to deny themselves should get on a plane to South Korea and cross the border into the North Korea and they will be gauranteed martyrdom.
Of course this is only for those superior Christians who dont see themselves as lukewarm,”

Added. I hope your posts on all the other forums you represent Christ on are nothing like the ones you continually put down for us! I will continue to pray for you until the Holy Spirit has me stop. A lot of this stuff you write is not edifying any brethren, or building up others in Christ.

Added. I wish I could had sent this to you privately. You have no contact information available though.

In love,
Billy

Hi Docs
This is not true at all I was answering your posts,your posts ,we have different views but and im not mocking ,its true their is plenty of persecution to go around you dont have to wait for it ,if thats what you believe.
I have no doubt their is persecution now and in the future but this over emphasis of persecution over all else is false in my opinion.I am quite happy with my speech and if you want to use salt in your speech ,nobody is stopping you,

Hi Billy,
I think the point is made,
1 You cant work to get to heaven
2 Their is plenty of persecution going on right now if it is such a disireable commoditity.
3 Post Trib believers have a superior opinion of their Christianity and go around calling everyone that disagrees with them all kinds of names including lukewarm ,they then have a thin skin when it is pointed out.I didnt see you defend me earlier on in the post by the way or point that "failing out".
Also on edification Billy I can say the exact same thing about all the other posts.
urs staff

P.s Thats me over and out too ,unless to defend myself from baseless accusations.

Brothers... are any of us above reproach??
Nope

Surely we can do better than the world on this and not bicker and bite one another...

4 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.


So perhaps, instead of calls of censure or cancellation, of hurt feelings and name calling, finger pointing and the like, we could simply pray for one another 🙏🏻
Remembering to never pray for another brother or sister something we wouldn’t want prayed for us 😇

But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
