Do i always THINK in the SPIRIT . WISH TO GOD I DID . I HATE THE HECK out of my own contrary flesh
which pops contrary thoughts into my mind . BUT IT DONT MEAN I GOT TO BE A SLAVE TO THEM EVIL THOUGHTS .
THE RENEWING of MY MIND has BEEN PERFECT , its me who is not , aka my flesh has great evil within .
as far as being perfected , THAT IS STILL ONGOING . THE MORE we in that bible , I PROMISE THE MORE IT DO HELP
THE RENEWING of MY MIND has BEEN PERFECT , its me who is not , aka my flesh has great evil within .
Please help me understand what this means?

How can the renewing of your mind be perfect, if you still think in the flesh?...as do I at times.

It means JESUS IS PERFECT . what HE feeds me is pure , holy and true . WE DO HAVE the MIND of CHRIST .
the thing is we still also in bodies of flesh , which believe me is gonna be CONTRARY .
BUT dont hang yourself with a rope just yet and give up . CAUSE i want to remind you of something
IF WE ARE HIS , THEN WE DO HAVE THE SPIRIT . THAT SPIRIT
aint what tempts us , nor will it give us one single thought that is contrary to GOD . IT WARNS US
when a thought arises that cometh of the flesh .
example . i will use myself as the example .
Lets say the most beautiful bathesheba , aka woman , to walk the earth ,
came walking right past me dressed in barley enough clothes to cover a pug dog .
WHAT DO YOU THINK the first thought the flesh pops into my mind is gonna be . A HINT , IT WONT BE SAYING LOOK AWAY .
NOPE . not what the flesh gonna be saying at all . ITS gonna be in awe trying to gaze .
PRAISE GOD FOR THE SPIRIT which at the same time is saying OH NO YOU DONT . LOOK AWAY .
NOW WHICH ONE WILL I BE SLAVE TO , THE Flesh and keep looking OR THE SPIRIT and STOP LOOKING .
Exactly rita . THAT IS MY POINT . WE DONT HAVE TO BE A SLAVE TO THE FLESH .

Good example. Well thought out. Although I get you may not agree…to me when I read the verses concerning men (and women) using the body of women with women and men with men to fulfill their own lust…I don’t read sexual but in brother against brother in loving to expose another as naked to look on a brothers nakedness(shame). Same with women. To me life teaches this in (no other way to say this that I can think of) a pissing contest. Where debates give birth. Same with women gossiping or envying or lusting after “have you seen her? She is nothing like us!” To me this is just as homosexual as those we expose as homosexuals in getting off on others nakedness and loving to put the bottle to their mouth to get them drunk so we can take an advantage of the sin to hide our own. We may say “nah. It’s not the same thing” but maybe that is why we find the physical homosexual so offensive, because of spiritual homosexual where men love to debate and devour one another. One thing life has taught me is what I judge another of…I’m usually doing the same and need to shut my mouth for it comes around to bite me in the butt. Our own confession “words” is going to bring down our high-mindedness for sure. Another is stealing where if you see someone as a thief it’s very blunt that it’s wrong. No one is saying it’s not wrong to steal. But then if I acknowledge thievery is wrong but judging one who steals then I also fully acknowledge that I am aware my stealing of the words of God from brother or sister is thievery and guilty of punishment. Then I speak against my own thievery in judging another thief. Same with homosexuals…I’m not saying it’s not wrong but in acknowledging it’s wrong we also acknowledge exposing another brothers nakedness to revile it before others is also alike to looking on another’s nakedness for our pleasure. I get you will most likely disagree but I think by our words we catch ourselves in our own web of what is wrong to do. So we are without excuse.
Drunkenness is another….there a person drinking alcohol and getting drunk. But then there is drinking up the word and staggering and stumbling from drunkenness. Where it has having nothing to do with being at a bar but being in church and becoming so high on ourself by reading and intoxicated by our own high mindedness that we stagger and stumble around blind. To me this is what he meant when he said to be sober. (Imo) there is another form of drunk that has nothing to do with “can’t you put down the bottle?” To the lonely broken person who wonders “why can’t I stop touching the beer.” There can be another question in “why can’t you put down the bottle?” Habakkuk 2:15-16 Woe unto him that gives his neighbour drink, that puts thy bottle to him, and makes him drunken also, that you may look on their nakedness! [16] You are filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD'S right hand shall be turned unto you, and shameful spewing shall be on your glory.
Compare to:
1 Corinthians 5:6
Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

you are way over thinking things my dear friend . Sin is sin and always will be sin .
no matter what SIN it be . man with man , woman with woman , love of money , etc .
GOD will never accept sin , and worse HE gets very angry at those who try to and use HIS NAME TO DO SO . MAN DO I FEAR FOR THOSE .
GOD will never accept a man being with a man or a woman being with a woman . DONT matter if they got married
and gave all their goods to the poor , HE NEVER gonna accept that sin . OR ANY SIN for that matter .
THE KEY IS JESUS CHRIST . only most folks have come to another jesus , THAT ONE WONT SAVE THEM EITHER .
ALL SIN within the church MUST BE CORRECTED . ALL SIN within the church must be exposed and warned against .
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT .

True by acknowledging all sins must be corrected. It starts with you. Hopefully all your sins are corrected. And don’t tell me you are allowed to keep those sins because you are saved by grace. Because what I hear you proclaiming is even by grace one must be corrected of all sins. That’s all I’m saying …to the standard you hold others, you are also held to the same standard. If Grace and Mercy and Forgiveness comes by “perfection” then “be you perfect.”

WE DO HAVE the MIND of CHRIST .
the thing is we still also in bodies of flesh
We have the mind of Christ..only it’s not perfected yet is it?

We are in bodies of flesh and bone and we still think at times in the carnal mind?

Which is enmity to God...they don’t know the things of the Spirit......

A new babe or even an older Born Again....can still be thinking in the carnal mind...that is until the Spirit decides to open our mind to his way of thinking?....the renewing of our minds...

Philippians 2:5In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus.
Just my thoughts...

All of it.
I suppose if i had only two words to say to the people it would be this , BIBLE TIME .
cause it does contain the very words of JESUS and instruction in righteousness and the truth whereby one can grow wise indeed
unto salvation through FAITH IN THAT JESUS CHRIST . cause as i think you know , many , even satan himself
can use the name of JESUS and yet ...................oh dear .................................need i say any more ......
and yet dont expect the jesus they offer up as being THE ONE TRUE JESUS CHRIST .

What has miscarriages got to do with being a true believer or a fake?

Is it biblical?

How can it ever grow if one waters it with the words of men and not the words of GOD that HE INSPIRED in the bible .
I think you mean maturity , being perfected . IF my mind was already perfect , THEN WHY would i need to learn more .
NO its not perfect at all in that sense . I mean what i knew on the first day , by grace i now know more
and by grace if i am still here down the road , i am sure GOD will still be perfecting my mind .
SO , no i am not yet perfect at all . But it dont mean i am gonna use that as an excuse or a cover for sin of any kind .
THE PROBLEM with about most all churches is , THEY DONT TEACH THE PERFECT DOCTRINE anymore .
AND if we feed a plant with even eighty percent good wholesome food and yet twenty percent poison , THE PLANT DIES .
IF i put a drop of cynadie into water and them poured that water into many glasses of water
TELL ME are you gonna drink from that water . THEN WHY WOULD WE DRINK from mixed doctrines of men
and not rather LEARN THE BIBLE FOR US . that has been my point all along .

i think miscariages has more to do with the baby not formed in and from CHRIST .
i mean , many folks are gonna be told on the day of the LORD , I NEVER KNEW YOU .
JOHN knew something too . If they come out , tell me , WERE THEY EVER OF US .
and yet today most folks might be able to quoate what i just said , and yet THEY TOO are NOT OF US .
cause if one IS OF CHRIST , tell me , WHY WOULD THEY TWIST OR OMIT HIS TEACHINGS
when IF ONE IS OF CHRIST the SPIRIT is their guide . DONT mistake this for errors that folks might slip up and do .
I MEAN FULL GROWN MEN leading churches and JUSTIFYING SIN . THEY DO NOT and i do repeat DO NOT KNOW HIM
AND IF ONE IS in error , GOD would have sent one to correct them . ONLY when the correction is sent
IF THEY REPENT NOT but rather get hard against the truth , YOU GOT A PROBLEM ON YA HANDS . THAT BE A WOLF
not A SHEEP .

You said this..THE RENEWING of MY MIND has BEEN PERFECT

Now you’ve contradicted yourself..by saying your mind isn’t perfect?

no its not conradiction its misunderstanding on your part , or perhaps my inablity to correctly respond .
The renewing of my mind cometh from CHRIST . Cause it sure dont come from my flesh .
Does that make more sense .

Rita , you looking at a man that just aint gonna give myself any credit . but rather gonna give the glory to whom it belongs
Remember when paul said I labored more abundantely than they all did , YET NOT I but the GRACE OF GOD .
well try and see that also in the lens of ANYTHING and EVERYTHING GOOD . renewing of the mind cometh of the LORD
as HE unctions us on also what helps us to do that . ITS HIM i give the glory to rita , NOT TO ME , TO HE .
