The Bible and Plagiarism

Calling Him Lord Lord without doing the commandments makes the follower a hypocrite.

But flee youthful lust, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who CALL ON THE LORD out of a pure heart." (Second Timothy 2:22)

Next question. I dont have to answer where you said not to follow the commandments.

You have to show where YOU told people that following the commandments is critical for eternal life and failure to follow the commandment means there is no eternal life as Jesus said.

So Show me where you told people how critical following the commandments are I have been doing it for over 14 years on this site. You have NEVER ONCE repeated the words of Christ about the critical importance of obedience to God and following of the commandments. NEVER ONCE.

Paul, a called apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints,

WITH ALL THOSE WHO CALL UPON THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IN EVERY PLACE, theirs and ours;

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Cor. 1:1-3)

Your mouth worship is get good enough by the works you do. Ignoring the salvation through faith that God has given us. Your mouth worship is all about your efforts by good works, about you, you, you! With your mouth worship acknowledging God, but your heart is far from Him. If you are going to live and please God it must be by faith, because the righteous shall live by faith, instead of your justification by works.

That may be true. But that is not a teaching NOT to call on the name of the Lord.

This clumsy attempted-cute and disingengenuous appropriation of the term "mouth worship" makes you sound like you are 'teaching' AGAINST following Jesus' commandments with regard to good works and what one must DO tò be a Christian. It makes it sound like you are 'teaching' that it is enough to simply THINK one's way to "salvation".

I have seen no such definition of mouth worship or lip service in the bible, neither in contemporary English usage. By all means if you can produce a reference where your peculiar [rather stupid] definition of mouth worship is explained then kindly produce the references. As usual you are making yourself look pretty stupid.

Maybe you should be addressing your posts about a person’s heart and your views on plagiarism directly to sonship instead of sort of merely making your stance but not really having the courage to direct your posts to the poster in question.

Are you truly a Christian at heart?

You may notice that only 2 Christians support the idea that plagiarism is wrong. KJ is not one.

You didn't read what I wrote, or you simply are making things up, again.

You do not preach the following of the commandments.
You are therefore preacher of mouth worship

You got it?

"O foolish Galatians, who has bewiched you before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly portrayed crucified?

This only I wish to learn from you, Did you receive the Spirit by the works of law or by the hearing of faith?

Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? " (Gal. 3:1-3)

There is no doubt that plagiarism is an act of dishonesty. It is the selfish act of using the work of another, and passing it off as your own, thereby taking credit for the labour of another. Many Christians pass this off as a 'no big deal" issue. The writers of the New Testament, were careful not to practice this act of deception. If they were going to repeat what was alre ...[text shortened]... th. (2 Corinthians 10:12-18 KJV)[/i]

This is not an isolated statement. There are others like it.

I got that you could not produce an example in over a decade of me teaching people to disobey the Lord.

That I got.

And any insinuation that I taught neglecting obeying the Lord I from you is your slanderous lie.
...[text shortened]... ough I have a question mark as to whether you ever really begun by the Spirit. Maybe. But maybe not.
