Subject: Re: the devil's dishpan? Author: Bob [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:08:46 02/09/10 Tue In reply to: tim 's message, "the devil's dishpan?" on 09:43:11 12/31/09 Thu Geeeze is that some disarmament tactic you get taught in God school. Smother the opposition in complements and then slightly twist the words so that it seems like we are all on the same page. No Nada Not going to happen. Tim this is Heaven right now. There is no practice, there is no test , there is no entrance exam, there is no list. Everyone here right now is in. It doesn't last forever either. Its just until it ends. Its all we got and there is nothing else. Its all things too, good , bad and ugly. Take it because you can't leave it. Nobody gets out alive. I heard a funny comedian the other day talking about space travel. He noted how Man has shrived to get up into space a place he pointed out we already were. How silly he thought it was that we would collectively try so hard to get some place we already were. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Author: tim [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:18:19 02/09/10 Tue I doubt that anyone visiting here would have any confusion about the fact that you and I are on different pages, spiritually speaking. They would only have to read one of the thread's from start to finish in order to glean that we are on opposite sides of the fence. You are on the outside looking in (my forum is clearly established as a place of righteousness) and I am on the inside looking out (you can say it's the other way 'round if you want, but either way, no discerning visitor will be confused. The real difference between you and I, in God's eyes, is that I have accepted His forgiveness for my sins and have entered the sheep fold through the narrow gate (John 14:6). As long as there is breath in your lungs there is hope for your soul to be accepted as well! We don't get to heaven by striving; we simply accept what has been written and apply it to our own lives in the here and now. This doesn't happen by osmosis (such as 'the diffusion of fluids through a pourous partition'). We cannot be on both sides of the same fence and expect to be approved by those on either side. But if we acknowledge that there IS a fence (and i don't mean offence) then we have stepped one step closer towards crossing over! Oh, I may swing my leg back over the fence every now and then, in my zeal to be found approved, but when I come to my senses, I get back in the fold without delay! (you can just re-read this thread from the beginning if you get confused about that)! I can assure you this, with as much certainty as you proclaim that there is nothing past what we can see and touch in this life, I can tell you that I will not be going back, or even considering your point of view as a viable option for me, now or into eternity (as I said before, it is real for both of us, whether we accept it or not). The dividing line is clearly set and the more I learn about God through His Word, the more responsibility He gives me to make my stand in His righteousness clear.
