    Linda I always love how you single me out in your posts :) Why do you do that by the way? Why didn't you say James Newman and all the other ME proponents seeing as I have only posted a couple of times on this thread?

    And yes it would seem to you that we talk out of both sides of our mouth because you don't have a clue as to what we are talking about. You don't want to understand what we are talking about so you continue to mis-represent what we talk about. Why you do that only you can tell us.

    Right here is a perfect example of out and out misrepresentation. No one has every accused anyone of Lordship salvation if they believe in holy living.

    Lordship salvation is saying that holy living is an absolute guarantee of all believers that all believers will live a holy life and that is an incorrect teaching.

    Absolutely correct. But what Lordship salvation teaches is that Christians are guaranteed to do these things and they are not a choice. That is where Lordship salvation goes astray.

    We are absolutely supposed to do everything that you said, but we can choose to obey or we can choose to disobey and there are consequences for both choices.

    I will deal with more later.

    We shall await with bated breath. One thing that you are correct about is that Lordship salvationists, a notch above you, allow all saved people in the kingdom.--Herb Evans

    How do you misrepresent someone's attitude with posted words? Are you a mind reader. Sonny, don't try to tell me what I believe.

    The consequences of not living right is chastisement, everthing from sickness to death. It is not my opinion. It is in Hebrews. if a professing child of God does not receive chastisement he is a bastard and not a son, namely, lost! -- Hreb Evans

    yes, you can live like you want for eternal salvation for eternity, but if you live like you want, you will miss a thousand years of it. -- Herb Evans

    Again more misrepresentation, but why should that be surprising. We have given both OT and NT passages that speak to this Truth. I have asked many, many, many, many times for you, your husband or some others to give some OT examples that says all Christians will rule and reign and not only have you all not stepped up to the plate, but you all have said that you can't find Christians in the OT.

    So basically only half of the Revelation of God to man is applicable to us today. I mean WOW what can one say.

    By the way here is just another example of Scripture that contradicts what you have just typed:

    II Timothy 2:12 - If we suffer, we shall also reign with him

    Hmmmm . . . looks like it says if we suffer we shall reign.

    Revelation 3 tells us this `He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

    That doesn't say that becuase Christ overcame we are automatically overcomes. It says Christ overcame and we are to overcome like He did because it's not done yet.


    This statement right here shows that you don't have the foggiest idea what is being discussed. If you want to throw terms around you should at least make the attempt to understand what you are throwing around.

    Again if you are going to try and disprove something you should at least try to make an attempt to understand what you are even trying to disprove. But no one ever does, so I'm sure the misrepresentation will continue as status quo . . .

    Herb I will not deal with you. Your obviously think that you have it all right and if someone doesn't believe like you then they are a heretic. There is no dealing with that. I am of the belief that if people don't want to hear, and you obviously don't, then I am not going to waste time or energy. So if you want to continue to post to me and ridicule me that is fine, but this will be my last response to you.

    having ears to hear, they hear not.

    Since ya don't want to hear it from Herb anymore, I will say it. The ME doctrine needs to be buried outside the gates in the dung heap.

    Jumpy, the truth is that you can't deal with me, because you and Jimmy Newman, as a good little parrot, must run back to Heretic Faust's writings for your answers. I am in a position to know that, because I have debated Heretic Joey by E-mail directly and recognize it when you fellows parrot him. I have a CD on that debate for $ 5.00 if you need to brush up on your pat answers. Time is not your problem, the scriptures arre your problem. So, go ahead and sit on the sidelines with one liner quips.

    I don't have internet at home, so unless I am at my office, you probably won't hear from me. But here it is, Monday morning, and I'm back.

    Lot was a righteous man living among sodomites. What are you saying, that he was partaking of their sins? God would have left him there. But he did pay a high price for not separating from their wickedness.
    It means if you're sinning you're a child of the devil. Read the English.
    2 Corinthians 7:1
    1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

    You cannot say 'only my body sins'. If you hate your brother, did you murder him with your body? If you look upon a woman to lust, did you commit adultery in your body?

    1 Thessalonians 5:23
    23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    If your spirit allows your flesh to lead you into sin, your spirit is guilty, just as Adam was guilty for allowing Eve to lead him into sin.

    James is correct saying of 1 John 3:9,10. Notice, it telling us, it is talk about our practical of spiritual life. Even, also, it show of conditional salvation according our practical of spiritual life. First part of 1 John 3:9 tells us, that anyone who is truly born of God do not continuing sin in their life. While person's seed is abide in Christ according John 15:1-6. If a person is continue sinning, then, a person cannot be a truluy born of God. (I hear often argument: this means that person is not saved AT THE FIRST PLACE). That is a poor argument. 1,2, and 3 of John teaching us, these are talk about our practical spiritual life, obivous, these are conditional with our salvation.

    In Christ
    Rev. 22:20 -Amen!

    James_Newman]Now you are just confusing the imputed righteousness of Christ, which will justify you on the last day, for practical righteousness, without which no man will see the Lord.

    No! It is you that confuse the Lord's imputed righteousness by limiting it. You can live like the devil and still ultimately be saved by your Gospel, but you can't live like the devil and enter the Kingdom. What a crock! -- Herb Evans

    1Jo 3:7-8
    7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
    8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

    A believer doing the works of the devil is not righteous. Can I get a witness?

    Absolutely not! Even Lot was righteous positionally. But again you leave off two verses.

    Lot was a righteous man living among sodomites. What are you saying, that he was partaking of their sins? God would have left him there. But he did pay a high price for not separating from their wickedness. -- Jim


    Yeah, he offered his daughters to the queers and later committed incest with them. The fact remains he was righteous, i.e. just Lot, like righteous Herb Evans or Just Herb Evans (positionally in Christ and never out of Christ) -- Herb Evans

    1Jo 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
    1Jo 3:10
    In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

    Are you a child of God or a child of the devil. If you are a born again child of God, YOU CANNOT SIN, AND YOU DON'T SIN, Go ye and learn what that meaneth. -Man, you really bombed out on that one. READ THE CONTEXT and renounce your heresy! - Herb Evans

    It means if you're sinning you're a child of the devil. Read the English. -- Jim


    Oh it means! It means! that is what the 7 Day Adventists do. It means what it says! That is amazing! A born again Christian is a child of God and no longer a child of the devil or a child of wrath. The Bible tells that we are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus and sin has nothing to do with it.

    Do you have a text to prove that? Man, you Faustites will stoop at anything. What a wresting of scripture! Tell me, can it be said of only a non-sinning child of God that he doth not sin and CANNOT sin? But then, if he sins to become a child of the devil, how did he do that, if initially he could not sin? -- Herb Evans



    Unless you are walking in the spirit in this life, your new sinless body will have to wait until the great white throne. You're starting to sound like a gnostic. -- Jim

    Another pontifcation. That is Faust talk, for he likes to compare folks with Gnostics. You are sounding more and more like a lost man. You do not have a shred of scripture for this heretical statement. -- Herb Evans

    I never planned on my flesh inheriting the millennial kingdom. My soul, spirit, and NEW SINLESS BODY will inherit the millennial kingdom. The born again Christian does not sin and cannot sin. His flesh can and does, but flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. -- Herb Evans

    2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

    You cannot say 'only my body sins'. -- Jim

    Ah, Mr. Slight of hand changes my word "flesh" to "body." The flesh is the problem not the body. A dead body does not sin! The flesh goes beyond the body. The Flesh is used in a couple ways in scripture, i.e., the old nature that each of us has and the meaty part of your body, which is both flesh and blood.--Herb Evans

    If you hate your brother, did you murder him with your body? If you look upon a woman to lust, did you commit adultery in your body?

    Col 2:23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

    Yes, they are the lusts of the flesh, according to my Bible. That is the old nature that you and I have even after salvation. The old man does not go with us to heaven (excuse me, since you might not go there). it is not the physical body that is satisfied with neglect of the body. It is the old man, the old nature, the flesh that is religiously satisfied. -- Herb Evans

    1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    If your spirit allows your flesh to lead you into sin, your spirit is guilty, just as Adam was guilty for allowing Eve to lead him into sin

    But you see, my old spirit, the inner man, the old nature is not going either. Only the regenerated soul and spirit, the new nature, are going to heaven and going to be resurrected and get a new sinless body. --Herb Evans

    And it says exactly what I said. He that comitteth sin is of the devil. You haven't figured out that a man can positionally be a child of God and still be practically a child of the devil. All you are doing is saying 'I'm a child of God, that means my sin isn't really sin.' That is the type of reasoning that is warned against when we are told to let no man deceive us. Just like Galatians 6, where we are told that whosoever sows to the flesh will reap corruption, and be not deceived. You cannot sow to the flesh, saved or unsaved, and not read corruption. 1Corinthians 6, be not deceived, the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom. And unbeliever isn't anywhere in that list of things God considers unrighteous. Practical righteousness is a requirement for a child of God to inherit the kingdom of God, be not deceived.

    2 Timothy 3:13
    13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

    You are deceived, Herb.
    Sure, at the great white throne, but unless you put on that new man now in this life, you will not inherit the kingdom.

    Ephesians 4:22-24
    22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
    23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
    24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

    A man who has put off the old man and put on the new man will not be fulfilling the lusts of the flesh. The man that fulfills the lust of the flesh will reap what he sows at the judgment seat of Christ.

    Not much to say this time, eh? All you have for me here is your say so, which means nothing in light of the context. No where in God's word is a child of God called a child of the devil, and no where is there anyscripture that supports the error that a child of God can be changed into a child of the devil. Yes, it says exactly that, he that committeth sin is of the devil, but that is not the new man or the new nature; it is the old man and the old nature. We both will certainly reap corruption. And, yes, the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom. but saved people are no longer unrighteous, despite any unrighteous deeds their old nature might do. You fellows are warped to the core. -- Herb Evans

    2 Timothy 3:13

    Sorry but no white throne judgment for me. I will be there, however, watching some Faustites get judged. The new man is within me right along side the old man. You are reading a command not a condition for the kingdom. The old man may be put off but never leaves until death. The new man must be put on over and over, but he is still there in the believer. -- Herb Evans

    A man who has put off the old man and put on the new man will not be fulfilling the lusts of the flesh.

    That is true, if you understood it properly. How long does the new man last? Can the old man come back (I believe he never leaves until death.)? Is it like alternating current, Old man, new man, old man, and etc. ad nauseam? -- Herb Evans

    The man that fulfills the lust of the flesh will reap what he sows at the judgment seat of Christ.

    No, at the JSOC, the old man will not be there. And the new man will not get any stripes or be killed or be thrown into hell fire or the lake of fire. That is all a figment of your imagination. and false doctrine. -- Herb Evans

    Where did I say anything about being changed into a child of the devil? I said if you sin, you are a child of the devil. Thats the bible you are arguing with, not me. If the bible says you are a child of God and a child of the devil, then the bible is right. If you wan't to play the old man/new man game, that is fine, but whatever you do in the body, you are going to receive for at the judgment seat.

    Thats right, Herb, it is a command. And you think that we can ignore these commands and yet Jesus is going to tell us 'well done, good and faithful servant.' But in reality, if we do not keep his commandments, He is going to say 'I never knew you.'
    1 John 2:3-4
    3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
    4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

    Luke 6
    46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
    49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built a house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

    1 Timothy 6:11-19
    11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
    12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
    13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
    14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
    15 Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
    16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.
    17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded; nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
    18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
    19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

    Herb says he doesn't need to keep these commandments, because he already has eternal life. But Herb can't tell the difference between eternal life during the millennium, which is certainly by works added to faith, and eternal life afterwards which is freely given. Fine Herb, don't do good, don't lay up in store a good foundation. Just build that house on the sand and hope it will stand. But that isn't faith, thats presumption.

    Herb, I think there comes a time when a saint will stop playing games with the Lord. Prove to me that a man cannot overcome sin in this life.

    No, Herb, now you are pontificating and interpolating. Show me a verse that says only your new man will be at the judgment seat of Christ? And even if you had a verse that said that, so what?

    2 Corinthians 5:10
    10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

    Whichever Herb appears at the judgment seat of Christ, whether he be new or old, is going to receive for the things done in the body! Do you expect that the new Herb will recieve accolades at the judgment seat of Christ for the things done in his old body? Then surely new Herb will receive for the bad things done in the body as well.

    And it says exactly what I said. He that comitteth sin is of the devil. You haven't figured out that a man can positionally be a child of God and still be practically a child of the devil. All you are doing is saying 'I'm a child of God, that means my sin isn't really sin.' That is the type of reasoning that is warned against when we are told to let no man deceive us. Just like Galatians 6, where we are told that whosoever sows to the flesh will reap corruption, and be not deceived. You cannot sow to the flesh, saved or unsaved, and not read corruption. 1Corinthians 6, be not deceived, the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom. And unbeliever isn't anywhere in that list of things God considers unrighteous. Practical righteousness is a requirement for a child of God to inherit the kingdom of God, be not deceived. -- Jim

    All you have for me here is your say so, which means nothing in light of the context. No where in God's word is a child of God called a child of the devil, and no where is there any scripture that supports the error that a child of God can be changed into a child of the devil. Yes, it says exactly that, he that committeth sin is of the devil, but that is not the new man or the new nature; it is the old man and the old nature. We both will certainly reap corruption. And, yes, the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom. but saved people are no longer unrighteous, despite any unrighteous deeds their old nature might do. You fellows are warped to the core. -- Herb Evans

    Where did I say anything about being changed into a child of the devil? I said if you sin, you are a child of the devil. Thats the bible you are arguing with, not me. If the bible says you are a child of God and a child of the devil, then the bible is right. If you wan't to play the old man/new man game, that is fine, but whatever you do in the body, you are going to receive for at the judgment seat. Of course you evade the part about a child of God being called a child of the devil any where in the scriptures.


    Well, child of the devil, you have already admitted that you sinned wilfully, so we know what you are. So, you believe that you are both. More amazing than what I thought you meant. be patient with me, and i will get your heresy down pat. Still, the Bible does not say that you are both a child of God and a child of the devil. Whatever I do in the body I will receive for -- rewards or lack of them. No stripes for me. No being killed there for me. No being put in hell fire there for me. That is Faustology not Bible. My sin debt is paid! The old man/new man is not a game; it is the scripture. -- Herb Evans

    1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    If your spirit allows your flesh to lead you into sin, your spirit is guilty, just as Adam was guilty for allowing Eve to lead him into sin

    But you see, my old spirit, the inner man, the old nature is not going either. Only the regenerated soul and spirit, the new nature, are going to heaven and going to be resurrected and get a new sinless body. --Herb Evans

    Sure, at the great white throne, but unless you put on that new man now in this life, you will not inherit the kingdom.

    Ephesians 4:22-24
    22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
    23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
    24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

    Sorry but no white throne judgment for me. I will be there, however, watching some Faustites get judged. The new man is within me right along side the old man. You are reading a command not a condition for the kingdom. The old man may be put off but never leaves until death. The new man must be put on over and over, but he is still there in the believer. -- Herb Evans

    Thats right, Herb, it is a command. And you think that we can ignore these commands and yet Jesus is going to tell us 'well done, good and faithful servant.' But in reality, if we do not keep his commandments, He is going to say 'I never knew you.'

    1 John 2:3-4
    3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
    4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

    Well, then, you are a liar, for you admitted sin and do not keep His commandments. Still, my point was that commands are not conditions for keeping saved nor for excluding Christians from the kingdom and putting them in hell fire. You are warped to think that they are conditions for such. -- Herb Evans

    Luke 6
    46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
    49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built a house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

    Good question, good scripture, but no kingdom cigar here. The foundation is Jesus Christ not works. Manipulating salvation passages into kingdom passages does not become you. -- Herb Evans

    1 Timothy 6:11-19
    11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
    12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
    13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
    14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
    15 Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
    16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.
    17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded; nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
    18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
    19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

    You Faustites claim that you have eternal life and cannot lose it, so why try to use it for the kingdom. There is no kingdom here in this passage. You faustites are like campbellites when they see water in the Bible. You see godly instructions and admonitions and immediately you try to use them for conditions for kingdom entrance. Herb Evans believes in these scriptures and would never tell anyone to disobey them. --Herb Evans

    Herb says he doesn't need to keep these commandments, because he already has eternal life. But Herb can't tell the difference between eternal life during the millennium, which is certainly by works added to faith, and eternal life afterwards which is freely given. Fine Herb, don't do good, don't lay up in store a good foundation. Just build that house on the sand and hope it will stand. But that isn't faith, thats presumption. -- Jim

    Herb Evans never said that. Herb Evans does not believe that you need to keep these commandments for eternal life, and I thought you Faustites were saved by grace and not works, but that is obviously not what you are saying. Now the kingdom is no different than salvation, and there is nothing here about the kingdom. If you are going to sift through the bible for all the commands and try to prove that they are conditions for the kingdom, don't waste your time. Christ is my foundation for both salvation and the kingdom. Your foundation is works and self righteousness. Too believe you do not need works for eternity and need works for a thousand years is ridiculous, if that is what you believe -- Herb Evans
