Gramp,

I find it interesting how you accuse me of hiding behind the false name "logic" when you do not reveal your name but "hide behind an unknown name" 'Gramp'.

Eli,

I am not trying to pick a fight.

I am merely pointing out what I perceive to be an error in your explanation of what that scripture means. Your definition of repentance seems to be wrong, at least in the general sense of the term. I also believe you have read into the text on this occasion.

Quoting 2 Timothy 2:13 "Don't have anything to do with foolish and

Okay brother Adam, it's just sometimes I feel like Logic is just trying to stir up debate. This seems like a ridiculous debate too, in light of the Scriptures.

"But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do engender strifes." 2 Timothy 2:23

Eli,
Again, I will defend Logic's responses. I do not think that he's trying to pick a fight but rather to provoke a question/response dialogue in the forum. My advice is to give answer to the questions as best you can. It's alright for anyone of us to say that we don't know. We're trying to strive towards an answer together - the beauty of Christian discussion. Let's not let our pride

If "logic" is indeed trying to "pick a fight" with you Eli,they should at least identify themselves, and not hide behind an unknown name like "logic"

Eli,

First, I am confused by your emphasis on "gift of repentance". Perhaps it is my own inability to read, but I do not see where Jesus used this phrase.

Second, you claim that Jesus was saying: "those who claim to their own self-righteousness are not called to repentance." I believe you are reading into the text.

It seems, rather, that Jesus was saying exactly what

That's a good word on repentance Eli!

That's a good word on repentance Eli!
2Tim 2:24-26 speaks to this problem, and even "false teachers" can be led to repentance by a servant of the Lord who is gentle and patient "in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and come to their senses, and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by

hey,

wow Eli that's really good. We should look at it as a gift. And i have realized i need to be humble. As Micah said, he sometimes looks at the bad in people. Well i do the same, and for that i need to repent and become humble. And look at all in love as Christ did.
Good Post Eli!

This is cool stuff. Sometimes I can get caught up seeing the bad in people around me and forget that I need to be humble. I've always found repentance to be hard too though. I guess I've always always associated it with something that I need to do after I've done something wrong. Associated with a feeling of letting God down. But it is true, I understand what you are saying about how it is

Eli we are so blessed by your ministry. You remind us a lot of the Apostle Paul. You're so fearless and zealous. It's both encouraging and inspiring for us.
This morning when I was reading my devotions I came across: John 7:7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it, that its works are evil.
Truly that is why you face the opposition that you do because You
