Hello @TigersPaw, (I kind of touched on some of the things you mentioned here: in post 51, but I would like to respond to you from your post as I believe it's good.) It must originate from the Spirit of Christ within you. It's true that individuals often complicate the truths found in the...

It appears that the conclusion remains that it is solely through the power of the Spirit of Christ that we can engage in anything related to the Will of God, and it is not something imposed on anyone. It involves a stirring of the heart and mind towards the matters of Yahavah, where the spirit...

Hello @Verily, Indeed. Jesus Christ sacrificed Himself for everyone and atoned for the sins of all humanity. Everyone has fallen short of God's glory, as I mentioned in my initial post; may I ask if you took the time to read it? I concur with you about being a doer of the word; I appreciate the...

Hello @Karl Peters, Thank you for your contributions.

Hello @APAK, When discussing prayers to Yahavah/God, it's perfectly acceptable to ask Him to assist our hearts and minds towards others when we make mistakes, or to help us redirect our anger or hatred, and to enable us to forgive others, among other things. It's important to remember that...

Hello @ElectedbyHim, I wanted you to know that the website is Welcome | Precept Austin .(org), not .com which you shared. I appreciate you providing those references. It appears the conclusion is that there needs to be a transformation in both heart and mind regarding the matters of Yahavah. In...

Hello @Verily, I appreciate your contributions. I'm a little unclear about your question regarding this post (post Deceiving Yourself?) , but I also want to thank you for incorporating some scripture. It somewhat reminds me of the parable Jesus told about the Pharisee and the Tax Collector...

I just want to take a moment to thank everyone who has shared and posted here. It’s really important for folks to read the original post before jumping in with comments, but hey, if you don’t want to, that’s cool too. I’m not looking to argue with anyone; I just want to chat about the topic...

Hello @Ritajanice, I recommend that you check the original post to understand the points being made in this discussion.

Hello @TigersPaw, Certainly! The heart and the essence of our soul, we might even say. I appreciate your thoughtful comments. It's reassuring to know that there are individuals who are empathetic towards these matters, and that there are those who seek and yearn for truth.

Hello @Ritajanice, This discussion is not focused on repenting for sins to achieve forgiveness. Jesus has already addressed the issue of sin. The body does commit sins, and the emphasis is on shifting one's mindset from fleshly desires to spiritual matters, even though the body may falter at...

Hello @Hepzibah, I appreciate your clarification. You are correct about arid wastelands; those areas desperately need consistent water sources. I notice that many places, including churches, seem to lack genuine concern for teaching the true messages of the Bible. Instead, there is often an...

Hello @Hepzibah, Thank you for your contribution. I come from a place of standing which I believe that all sins have been take care of by the Lord Jesus. From what I gather from your post is that the fundamental truth of Sanctification is the process of God working in and with us, to change our...

Hello @Behold, I do not appreciate personal attacks which are off-topic. I love you nonetheless.

Hello @Lambano, I thanked you for your contributions and understood your post. If you choose not to read what was written I've stated already, that is okay. I'm just personally off work, very tired, and don't feel all that well. If you would like to gather what I have stated or not is totally...

Hello @Lambano, I must request that you return to the original post and review it in order to grasp the ongoing discussion. Although it is extensive, it is beneficial for those seeking to comprehend the overall topic, which pertains to the doctrine of "sinless perfection."

Hello @Behold, I am not the topic of discussion.

Hello @Behold, Please refrain from making assumptions about my self-perception. Comments like this are considered projections and fall under the category of "flaming" or "goading."

Thank you again @Lambano, and @Behold both for your contributions to the thread. I think people often get tricked by ideas about traditions. A lot of it is on us for not really reading the Bible in context, and as Lambano pointed out, the bigger picture. I see people twisting the scripture to...

Hello @Lambano, Thank you for clarifying that matter. I understand your point regarding the importance of avoiding sin (not practicing sin); that is indeed essential. It revolves around not allowing our inherent sinful inclinations to dominate our actions. The Spirit of Christ within us does...
