How Do You Know If You Are Born Again?

[Iconoclast]

Yeah, well, Mr. "KitYoung" those people will eat the fruit of their own ways some day and their laughing will be regretted.

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
(Pro 1:22-33)

You might want to note that that scripture talks about the ability to chose and ends with an a "genuine" gospel offer of salvation. You seem confused in that your post doesn't make any sense about being dark. I think you need to take off those shaded glasses and maybe you need to go outside and get some hair...err air. :smilewinkgrin:

30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.....

That is what i found ironic....when i mentioned to you that sometimes reprobates need to be sent away without comfort, but rather challenged with the consequence of continued rebellion....you went off on a rant...and rambled about the love of God....and "darkness'.....

But here with your friend KIT.....you went right after him.....interesting.:thumbs: I take this a progress on your part:applause:

Icon, you will never see me resorting to tell someone who scoffs at me or the word of God that he might have been predetermined to have no hope; obviously that is your MO but I don’t preach that message of darkness, it is clearly wrong for you to do that: (1Jn 1:5,6) Your attempt to euphemize what “I went off on” and the fact that you slipped up and are still trying to pry yourself off from being nailed to that wall says volumes, but I have no desire to go down that road with you again.The passage I quoted gives warning and speaks of judgment…judgment is real and based on creaturely volition, that is how it is genuinely righteous and in truth as per the Just nature of God which is in all His ways, (Deut 32:4). I find it strange and sad that you could misperceive that passage as a determinist type message of darkness and disturbing that through your shaded perception and lack of careful reading you would revel in hope that I would behave like you and would think of such a thing as “progress” on my part.

Well, our friend Mr. Young has left us. His last post was 1:07 a.m. Monday, so Matt Wade's prediction for before midnight Sunday night was a little early, and Winman's was for Wednesday. So I guess I win the microwave.

Interesting thing: in the final hour before his last post, Mr. Young posted thirteen times, and had 22 posts in the last two hours. Now that's prolific.

Benjamine,

you posted....

Your attempt to euphemize
what “I went off on” and the fact that you slipped up and are still trying to pry yourself off from being nailed to that wall says volumes, but I have no desire to go down that road with you again.

I completly agree with your assesment/comentary on the calvinistic slant on theology that you briefly articulated in your response to Iconoclast.

Well, that, too. But go back and look at his posting record over the final two hours before his banning. He was posting every two minutes in one stretch, and in three or four different threads.

He may be the most prolific troll we've ever had.

Oh, gee, I never thought of that. Wanna split the microwave?
