"Better than the next guy"? Not me, I certainly don't feel "better" than the next guy, but I do feel thankful and blessed.

Luke 6:43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Luke 6:44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

Luke 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

Stop copping out with the Bible. In the end, you have to be the "Judge" to call someone backslid.

That makes you better than the next guy, so keep tooting your Self Righteous horn.

It's easy (sometimes) to reel in a visitor, but just wait until you drop the "Standards" hammer, or the "Tongues". There are so many quirks within our Faith that send people down the road, confused and broken.
Sorry for your failures.

You're not sorry for anything. You are bound by Religion.

I have fallen into the truth, the truth that Christians are afraid of; that they have been swindled by a lie.

Remember, Jesus called the Religious, Blind. Religion isolates, infuriates, and creates hypocrites of the worst kind.

Religion is nothing more than the illusion that someone is better than someone else, via an idea that someone else started with Spectral Evidence.

Actually Jesus calls them born who are born only of the Spirit.

John 3:8 ...every one that is born of the Spirit.

So now you have 3 births instead of 2. You have the natural birth with 2 parts. You have the spiritual birth with 2 parts. And you have the spirit birth with 1 part...

After reading this and your other post, all the more reason for me to pray for a fallen brother.
