Haven't you been paying attention? You don't have to do anything.
Here's one:
Where in the Bible do we get the indication that Enoch was a perfect man? I heard that quite a bit, but I have never seen the evidence of that.

Here you totally ignored what I said on the other thread about tongues when I said I do not cast anyone into hell who is seeking Christ sincerely. You mock that as though I do not know what I believe, and then turn around and discard it and accuse me of totally the opposite when you cannot explain a passage in question yourself.
It would be nice to see you treat other believers who disagree with you as well as you treat atheists and agnostics. Love for believers is a great concern to the Lord as much as for anyone else in the Word. Let's talk about REAL grace.
So, amen to "Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water?"
Mike, I'm concerned for you, here. You're treating me very poorly. I would think you would treat me as well as those who agree with you!
So if it's "Amen" to the bitter water thing, how can anything good come from that heathen, Clarke?
Actually to CURSE is technically to speak a negative thing upon a person so as to cause them to be that way or experience that thing. So some CUSS words are actually curses. And the bible says LIFE AND DEATH ARE IN THE POWER OF THE TONGUE.
Well heck, some of the stuff you've said to me, then, is cursing!! You just reprimanded me for not being as nice to believers as I am to unbelievers. That was negative, Mike!!!
