Taken (concerning post #318)
This is how you twist the Scripture.
Yep, I agree scripture says God hated Esau.
but that doesn't mean God doesn't love everyone.
Yep, I agree with scripture that says God Loved the World. Jesus offered His flesh body for the Life of the World. God loved us first.
Some people are MUCH loved (beloved)
Some people are MUCH disliked (hated)
You are speaking nothing but non-sense.
I trust what Scripture says.
I understand Spiritually what Scripture means.
You telling me what does not make sense to your carnal mind; is irrelevant to me, and
BTW foolishishness to God.
(John 3:16) compared to (1 John 2:15) proves that (John 3:16) does not mean God loves everyone. You cannot disprove it.
Already told you. I disagree with you.
Already told you. I trust Scripture, (NOT your carnal minded understanding of Scripture).
So you just say that you believe what you want.
Just as you Want to SIN.
I have chosen my Wants; to be freed from Sin, to trust the Word of God and to have His Understanding of His Word.
So, Yes, we all seek what we Want.
Of course. It's called freewill.
But what you believe is not supported in Scripture.
Sure it is. God loves all the very good things He created. Guess it has been a condonrum to your understanding; God strongly dislikes the corruption or His creations.
You ask if I have sin. I have told you, yes I have sin.
Well ain't that something. You are like all men; born in sin!
What do I do about it. (1 John 1:8-10). Gee, why should you need to ask. The big question is, do you have sin?
Seems even your carnal understanding fails you. Did you miss the BIG answer ALREADY given you on more that one occasion?
For the last time. I was naturally born in sin;
I committed sin.
(1 John 1:8-10) addresses present sin. "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves" So, again, do you 'have' sin?
Seriously? Again and again you ask, but have zero comprehension for the answer repeatedly given you.
HAVE SIN? Listen carefully;
"WAS" naturally born IN SIN.
Naturally Committed SIN.
Freely Chose to GIVE MY LIFE and MY SIN to:
ta da.....Jesus' Spirit and Jesus' BODY.
Jesus' BODY took UPON it the SINS of the WORLD, and then His BODY Died!
I Chose to be crucified with Christ.
Ta da....My Body of Sin IS DEAD.
His Body Was cleansed..from all unrightesousness
My Body Was cleansed..from all unrighteousness
His Body Was sanctified.
My Body Was sanctified.
His Body Was Glorified.
I Live IN HIS BODY, until
...my body is glorified.
I Live IN HIS BODY, Which HAS NO SIN.
His Spirit Lives IN MY BODY Forever!
My Body is FREED FROM SIN.
Inasmuch as I doubt you understand this, I also doubt you understand; many other Spiritual things.
Sin IS being AGAINST GOD.
Everyone is born AGAINST GOD.
A man who freely chooses to be "no longer" AGAINST GOD; follows GODS WAY: to be:
FOR GOD, WITH GOD.
Men WHO CHOOSE to be WITH God;
God BELOVES; greatly LOVES.
Men WHO CHOOSE to REMAIN AGAINST God;
God HATES; greatly DISLIKES.
God SO LOVED HIS OWN CREATIONS; the World; He gave His Word; He Named Jesus;
So EVERY MAN, could receive KNOWLEDGE of GOD; AND freely CHOOSE to:
BE WITH HIM
Or
REMAIN AGAINST HIM.
I made MY own individual CHOICE.
I understood WHAT my Choice meant.
I UNDERSTAND WHAT "ALL" MY CHOICE entails; and AM enjoying the great benefits of MY CHOICE.
Thus I AM GLAD I made the Choice, I MADE.
As a LITTLE CHILD, you appear to have MADE a choice;
BUT haven't a CLUE, to the UNDERSTANDING of WHAT "ALL" your choice means.
The CHOICE IS a SPIRITUAL Choice; Appealing to a SPIRITUAL GOD;
That HE PROMISES HE WILL MAKE Spiritual Changes regarding the ONE WHO CHOOSES HIM.
You claim to have made THE CHOICE; appealing TO a SPIRITUAL GOD....
BUT THEN want to engage and ARGUE and DEBATE HIS WORD; WITH YOUR senses of your CARNAL MIND.
I called it babbling.
God calls it foolishness.
Stop worrying about what "your senses of the thought of your carnal MIND" thinks....
And Go LEARN ABOUT WHAT Gods Spiritual Change within a man MEANS; and WHAT you are supposed to DO WITH HAVING THAT Spiritual Change.
Instead of arguing silliness and blatant false teaching that the OLD MAN IS DEAD...YET continues to STAND AGAINST GOD.
By your own words, you do not need Jesus Christ's present ministry
That IS FALSE.
I said I don't NEED an Advocate.
God learn what an Advocate is...
It's a middleman; between a NATURAL man and a Spiritual God!
I said NOTHING about Jesus' MINISTRY.
Jesus' MINISTRY IS HIS TEACHING!
Go learn the DIFFERENCE between an
ADVOCATE and A DOCTRINE.
And stop speaking for me, trying to make claims FOR ME, that I did not make.
as our Advocate. This shows how far away you have gotten from the truth.
Based on your SPEAKING FOR ME; simply shows how ignorant your carnal understanding IS.
Jesus' Ministry IS His Doctrine, and an Awesome blessing and great benefit FOR men WHO have, like myself, Given their Life to Christ Jesus.
Jesus, THE WORD of GOD, is the ADVOCATE.
Go THROUGH HIM...AND MEET
Christ the Lord Jesus, The SPIRIT of God;
WHO IS GOD HIMSELF.
So while you continue going TO the Advocate, then running away and continuing to Sin,
Then running TO the Advocate...
And Repeat, Repeat, Repeat...
I have gone Completely THROUGH the Advocate....and NOW have a DIRECT relationship with God, who is holy, as I was made holy; and now ACCEPTABLE to HAVE directe communication and fellowship WITH my God.
Keep trying. Maybe you will figure it out.
You can take your Carnal woes to the Advocate.
And IF you ever become Spiritual you can have direct Spiritual communication with God, and Learn His Wisdom and His Understanding and His desires of How to Serve Him...
Instead of repeatedly running to the Advocate with your carnal whining and repeated begging for forgiveness.
The difference is;
Going to the Advocate is all about YOU....
....of what can the Advocate DO FOR YOU!
Being WITH God is all about GOD.
....of what can I DO FOR GOD.
I would suggest you go LEARN, BEFORE you try your hand at carnal teaching;
It is a fail, when using the Lord Name, to teach your understanding.
God Bless,
