There is much twisting of scripture to make things fit into m,an's fallen mind. This is not making sense of anything, it is just using words to make points and leaves believers trapped in their little minds without the Spirit. So many claims are distorted and made up, false nonsense that I cannot waste my time. Verses are quoted to argue among Christian, instaed of using the Holy Word to build up believers. My experience in the Lords Recovery is nothing what some backslidden believers can claim. I have learned to to pray, pray-read, share the gospel, save others, build up the Body of Christ and many others vital matters that pertain to living the Christian life. I hope the Lord has mercy to grant you more insight and then experience of His full salvation.

Unregistered,
1. This website is not called "local church building fellowship". Therefore, we are under no obligation for explicit building fellowship to occur here. The site name is "local church discussions". You are in the local church and have been trained to think that a free exchange of ideas, truth-telling, and honesty are "gossip" and "opinions".
2. You make several claims and opinions of your own without back up or example. These are simply empty claims from your own fallen mind, if left in that state. If you say "there is much twisting of scripture to make things fit" -- give us examples. If we are twisting scripture and getting something wrong, I am pretty sure those here are open to hearing it. Don't make claims without details, or it's useless.
3. God made us to be in our minds and to use our minds. You say we are without the Spirit but again, you provide no evidence for it, leaving it to be simply your own
opinion. (see how easy it is to have opinions here?) There is absolutely no biblical issue with being in our minds. THAT is a false, twisted, unscriptural teaching in the local church used to oppress people.
4. Have you read Acts 15 recently? The apostles got together with the church to figure out what to do about the demands being put on the Gentiles.
Acts 15:2
This brought Paul and Barnabas into
sharp dispute and debate with them.
Acts 15:7
After
much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them...
Acts 15:28
It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us....
Paul and Barnabas "sharply disputed and debated" with the ones putting undue burden on the believers. The apostles and elders had "much discussion". And the result was that it seemed "good to the Holy Spirit".
Huh.....no mention of pure holy heavenly building fellowship!
If you have an issue with discussion and debate, then you have an issue with the very manner used to arrive at a conclusion that was pleasing to the Holy Spirit.
5. This is probably the most important point I will say here.....
Unregistered, did you go to high school? I assume you did.
Some people talk of their high school experience like this: "
Oh man, I had a great time in high school, I was class valedictorian, prom king, quarterback on the football team, I had so many friends and the principal high-fived me every day! All the teachers loved me and they let me slide on homework because I was the best football player. I loved high school!"
And some people talk of their high school experience like this: "
High school was terrible for me. For some reason this bully chose me on the first day of freshman year to target me and bully me, and he bothered me relentlessly the entire four years I was there. He tripped me and taunted me and pushed me and stole things from me all the time, and threatened to come after me if I didn't pay him something every day. No one wanted to be my friend because they didn't want the bully to go after them too. I tried to go to the principal but the school administration just turned a blind eye. I left high school a wreck and am a shell of who I was when I got there."
Two totally different experiences, unregistered. Same high school. Same graduating class.
Is one of them a liar?
You haven't really answered any of my questions or any points I've made in previous posts, but this one is critical. I'd like you to answer this one.
Trapped
P.S. The insight the Lord granted me concerning the local church has been possibly one of His biggest mercies in my life to date!
