Yeah, you got room to talk, being one of the most arrogant jerks ever to be on a site like this. Its YOUR denomination that Lords it over others, and holds to doctrine that Jesus hates, chap.
Giving the gospel ... praying for others to be saved, that's something YOU CONSIDER being a jerk??!!
Maybe thats because works-righteousness hates salvation by grace.
I never said i have pity on you because your religion is rubbish, if you're accusing me, thats a lie and you know it, and its about time somebody held the mirror up to you and called you on it.
You act like an authority on everybody elses faith here, you ridicule Presbyterians, Baptists, Pentecostals, and your favorite ppl to attack seem to be those who are born-again. Why is that?
I asked you a couple times in the past if you were saved, to better know how to relate...you refused to answer. I sent friend requests early on...you refused that too.
You throw your little smirks around at others posts like a schoolboy, and you go in the chat box and gossip and make more puny insults about ppl here, and the United States, and President Trump, and on and on.
Ive tried with you, Ive given you the gospel as graciously as I could, sincerely, it's good news.
What good news have you ever given me in return? Ive offered a hand of friendship in the past.
When have you ever done so?
Ivd told you repeatedly, Jesus loves you.
When have you ever replied in kind?
Ive prayed for you and offered more.
When have you ever offered for me?
Ive tried with you, but you are the very definition of arrogance here.
And so yes, I pray for you...you can take that in whatever spirit you want, but it's what the bible says we are to do, and I do it wanting Gods best for you, no hidden meaning or motive.
Unfortunately bc of site rules, we have to assume everyone is saved, but the bible speaks differently. Ok, fine, you say your a christian? Lots of ppl say that...RomanCatholics, JW's, Mormons, Osteens Obamas and Oprahs. Do you consider praying for their salvation to be arrogance, too?!
There arent different paths to salvation, one for one group, another for all the members of the RomanCatholic denomination. THAT would be arrogance. No, there's really only One Way.
Sinners are either saved by God's grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, or they're not. That's not arrogance, it's the Word of God.
Romans 4King James Version (KJV)
4 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:
20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
5:1THEREFORE ... (Therefore, Threrefore, Therefore!) THEREFORE, being justified by faith (by faith, by faith, by faith!) we have peace with God (have, have, have!) through our Lord Jesus Christ.
There, thats not arrogance ... thats bible.
(I wish I could keep writing ... Chapter 5 is fabulous!)
