Worse things than disbelief?

Does being "worse than an unbeliever" mean that such a believer in Christ [who does not provide for his or her relatives] faces "damnation" [according to 1 Timothy 5:8 ] ?

But many times I have written about discipline during the millennial age before the age of eternity.

Leaving aside the “many times you have written” piousness for the moment....what are these “ages” you are talking about?

Millennial age....
Age of eternity....

Where do you get these from?

Oh Divegeester ...

How else would you have liked me to state this?
Do you think I could have indicated that I have written about it in words less annoying to you?

Okay, give me an example.

I get it from reading carefully especially [b]Revelation chapters 20, then chapters 21,22.

Read chapter 20 and count the number of times John says "thousand years" or "the thousand years".

I count about six mentions.
Revelation 21,22 is about the age of eternity afterwards with a new heaven and a new earth and this New Jerusalem in completion. [/b]

A less pious, less sanctimonious way how to say I wrote about something many times ... ??

The 1000 years is not and “age” in the way you are referencing it. I’m not convinced there are “ages” in the bible, but if there are, this is not one of them.

The Age of eternity is made up term by you.

" not only in this age but also in that which is to come." (Eph. 1:21)

Hmm. Sounds kind of "pious" there.
Could you write it again in a less annoying way to me?

[b] " not only in this age but also in that which is to come." (Eph. 1:21)

How do you understand that?[/b]

In other words, a Christian’s “good works,” because they are directed by God’s Holy Spirit to accomplish God’s purposes and will, are different than a non-Christian’s “good works,” which are not directed by God and presumably do not have the effect of accomplishing His will and purposes.

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.“

(Romans 8:1-14)

You didn't get away with the little bit of message board deceit. I called you on it. Further debate about it is certainly not necessary.

"message board deceit"?

That's a little harsh for something you do on a regular basis, isn't it?

How many times have you cut out half of my post when replying to me?

Originally posted by @fmf
I often cut the same old same old diatribe about my supposed personal faults and just leave the bit that's on topic if there is any. I have never removed any words from a sentence of yours to change the content or meaning of the sentence.

You take these forums wayyyyy too seriously.

It was obvious that the three words I quoted from your post did not represent the entirety of your post as it was directly above what I had excerpted - in all its resplendent, pontificating glory!

If I were trying to be deceitful, I would have deleted words from your post instead of simply excerpting the ...[text shortened]... e to attack me, you’re latching onto anything you can find and feigning outrage over it.

Sad!
