No, *you* are incapable of considering that maybe, just maybe, you don't actually have truth.
No, you are wrong again. I know I have the truth because I know that the living God is real and has done exactly what He has promised and much more.

You get all mad and start ranting like a little child. You do have the last part somewhat correct, Satan screws with your mind and the Holy Spirit asks you to believe in Christ through your spirit and mind.
Quote:I guess if you stay on the path you are now that some day you will realize the value of salvation and wish you had received it before your death.
Astreja Wrote:And once again you resort to a holier-than-thou threat.
I do not claim to be better than you, my claim is this, I'm saved through Christ by the grace of God. I have made no threat, if you take it that way then that's your fault and apparently it bothers you greatly, ever wonder why. I'm telling you what the Bible says, besides how is it I can threaten you when God is the one in control.
Astreja Wrote:You are a truly despicable person. I hope you lose *everything* -- job, friends, family, and faith. Really. I do not tolerate people who try to bully people into professing religious faith, and it would be extremely satisfying to know that life had given you your just deserts.
It's your right to have that opinion, but I don't think it's worth much especially because it takes a truly despicable person to say what you did in the next sentence. I desire nothing but good for you whether you deserve it or not and that is the truth. You've wished nothing but trouble for me for quite some time now because I care enough to witness to you and others about Jesus and I do it without malice (bullying). You can not find one sentence in any of my post where I've bullied anyone, you might see because you want too things I've said you would consider bullying, but as long as I tell you and others what the Bible says by necessity it isn't bullying. I've had troubles in my life but none of it has nor will it ever be because you wished it, it will be my making or just things that happen in life and at least I have God there to help me through those thing, He has always done so and I know He will continue to because He is faithful in His promises. I really do not understand why you even reply to my posts, you always get upset and you shouldn't do that to yourself, it is not healthy.

You left out my bolded. We've heard it so many times I know it by heart.
So some of you are listening, good.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
