"Covenantal Dispensationalist."

I think that were you indicate whether your quoted remark refers to:

1. me

2. you

3. several other possibilities I can think of

1. Yes, He is wonderful.

2. You have included several prayer requests and because they are excellent things to be requesting as I sort
through them and understand them, which I certainly don't mind doing, I will pray for each of them.

3. Philippians 1:23
For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

Philippians 1:24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

"But I weary in pointing these things out. You fellows find a way of non scriptural justification from books and authors you have read."

re: I agree with your point. To my mind what they do is the old "hath God said" routine:

3.Again Your:

" Where is the scripture proofs you rely on to assert all sins past, present and future "are" forever forgiven from the point

of justification?
I'm still waiting. Show us you've got more in you than endless, irrelevant to the topic of discussion, questions and
accusations of the brethren."

Three weeks and I'm still waiting." '

re:
I haven't got a clue what you are talking about Lurker, because of your usual confusion of issues. (I would be
surprised if you had a clue about what you are talking about.):

1Corinthians 14:33
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

re:

1. I apologize Lurker I wasn't aware of the SA forums rule:
Make sure you examine every thread carefully to find all of Lurker's comments and make sure you respond to everyone of them.

2. Lurker you yourself told me, in effect, you choose to respond to comments you choose to respond to. So again I apologize Lurker for not being familiar with the SA forum rule that is specifically for you but not for me.

"For sometimes God will reveal that one of His giants of knowledge doesn't have it straight and, in fact, is declaring a
message that is not true." '

Hopy, I don't know any giants of God. If you know of any, please give their names. Thanks."

re: Okay Abigail:
Matthew 7:20
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

"You DON'T trust in Jesus"

"You don't believe it because at this point in your pathetic false profession as a Christian you are a worker of iniquity and are none of His. You don't need anyone to condemn you for your denial of this Truth spoken by Jesus is your condemnation."

My theological system is that of Paul the Apostle and Peter the Apostle. There are many aspects to that theological system.

I personally would have worded this sentence differently:
"Those 'many' today are the charismatic/pentecostal delusion."

I don't deny the "many" today include the "the charismatic/pentecostal delusion." But the way the sentence is structured I think it excludes anything else and I don't believe God meant to exclude certain other things.

I don't intend to go into a lengthy discussion of what I believe He didn't intend to exclude but will only mention one kind: Unsaved Protestant KJV worshippers who worship instead of the Lord Jesus Christ, the KJV Bible. The KJV is an excellent translation but it is poorly translated in some areas and certain other translations help make up for that particular deficiency in the KJV translation. The kind of people I am referring to should they die that way will, in fact, hear:

1Kings 19:10
And he [Elijah] said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy
covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

1Kings 19:14
And he [Elijah] said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

1Kings 19:18
Yet I [God] have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

"Abigail,

In [all] your [comments] [I] have observed that they are lacking something and [I] have discovered what it is."

re;

1.
John 6:45
[It is written in the prophets], And [they] shall be [all] [taught of God]. [Every man] therefore [that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father], [cometh unto me.]

"Hopalong, you are now down to one cent. My thanks to JD was for his post dated 8/16/07 10:44 PM. My second thank you was in response to his post of 8/17/07 7:28 PM. I don't know if you aren't reading all of the posts or if you just choose to ignore them. You are more than welcome to add to the discussion, but your efforts at this point are adding nothing good."

re: Cbcpreacher here is "one cent" just for you. If you had bothered to explain previously what is in your 8/18/07 10:44 AM comment you would have avoided a lot of confusion for a lot of people:

1Corinthians 14:33
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

'You stated "If we do not allow the Spirit to have control of our lives, we are not saved." Salvation is not depended upon us allowing the Spirit to control our lives.'

Please excuse me. Over the last 5 days approximately, It seemed like, figuratively speaking, I needed 27 secretaries, which I don't have, to deal with various things coming my way on various SA threads. Add to that fact I am now tied up time wise ways with things that have nothing to do with SA threads which accounts for little commenting by me in SA threads the last two days.

"sometimes your two cents really isn't needed"

re: Here Cbcpreacher is "two cents" more just for you.

Cbcpreacher making a statment on what JD has done:
"That is the pinnacle of arrogance and rudeness"

Cbcpreacher thanking JD, when JD hasn't said anything since Cbcpreacher's remark quoted above,
"thank you for your response to my questions"

"I do wish that there was a forum on SA how to live the Christian life,etc"

re: I don't discourage your "wish" but while you wait for a possible thread to deal specifically with that very thing, I think there has been a distinct improvement in SA threads' comments from say approximately two weeks ago in regard to the very thing you "wish" for."

"sometimes there is disagreement because of inadequate human wording"

I find Abigail's words true in terms of myself and many other people whose comments I read. Often times our inadequate way of stating something leads to disagreement because we are so ambiguous in the way we state things. And, in effect, leave the reader having to look at the words from numerous perspectives not knowing what perspective was originally intended.

"For the Roman Catholic, the believer is made righteous by cooperating with God's grace. For the Protestant, the believer is declared righteous when he comes to faith, based on the righteousness of Christ(imputed) to him."

"JD, why is it that you expect everyone to answer your demands, but when a question is posted for you, if you can't answer, you just choose to ignore it. That is the pinnacle of arrogance and rudeness."

re:
I suppose that JD has a good grasp of this truth and you don't yet.:
