How can we cooperate with grace when even our faith is a gift from God? Nonsense.
Also, I'm wondering if you saw Gene's previous post to you?
You seem to turn a deaf ear to those of us who complain about your treatment of other's. You just begin a new idea and move on.
It's rude.
Really, who do you think you are? Are you above those of us who have common manners?
Perhaps you didnt' see his post, but I doubt that is the case…..
It's quite a legacy you are leaving here, bro.
Hi not3,
All is of grace and we will see that looking back.
The Spirit of grace gives grace upon graceQuote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 15 2008,05:56) hmmm
This is not an appropriate response.
It's a cop-out, and it's rude.Grace, what a misunderstood word!
Eph.4:30-32 …30 And do not be causing sorrow to the holy spirit of God by which you are sealed for the day of deliverance.
31 Let all bitterness and fury and anger and clamor and calumny be taken away from you with all malice,
32 yet become kind to one another, tenderly compassionate, dealing graciously among yourselves, according as God also, in Christ, deals graciously with you.And in the following, when Jesus, speaking to Peter,an Israelite, in Matt.18:21-22 said …21 Then, approaching, Peter said to Him, “Lord, how many times shall my brother be sinning against me and I shall be pardoning him? Till seven times?”
22 Jesus is saying to him, “I am not saying to you 'Till seven times,' but 'Till seventy times and seven,'It is not enough that we should forgive, even a multitude of times, those that offend against us. We have to go much further. To FORGIVE someone implies that we have charged him (mentally, at least) with commiting an injury against us. To DEAL GRACIOUSLY with that same person would imply that we refuse to recognise that he has done us any injury whatever; and the model for our conduct should be GODS DEALING WITH US. God refuses to charge us with anything; He justified us completely. No longer has He any need to forgive us, for no forgiveness is required. He has dealt, and is dealing, most graciously with us; therefore let us deal graciously with one another.

Should I go to my room?
Yes! Go immediately to your room (and no dinner).Seriously though, I have sent my children to their rooms for not dealing with one another nicely…..
I don't know why I'm coming down so hard on you, Nick? Please forgive me? I've been nothing but a negative hag since I have come back to visit. Sorry, everyone. Perhaps I need to stay away a little longer.
Love to all,
MandyNah…
It's not worth it.
I'm just going to take another long break.
I've enjoyed your searches and questions, Meerkat. Keep up the great work and desire to know.
Much love,
MandyHi Mandy,
Please don't go to silence again Sis. We alredy missed you for a long time now. You can not come across directly with brother Nick that is the reason why you felt that frustration. I even felt some times initially this problem of beating him but that is very tough. He is the moderator here he is having right to control the arguments but some times his comment are of bad taste. Please don't take otherwise and stay on this forum.Thanks and love to you

Hey Mandy,If you need a time out, please don't make it too long …….. I have enjoyed your company!!
I agree with Adam ……. Nick needs to feel he is keeping everyone on their toes / I think you both like to challenge each other ……. time out cards would work {REALLY}
Hi all
Grace is undeserved pardon for our sins, don't be jealous of Nick just because he is getting more of it.
