    How did Jesus keep from sinning?

    Didn't lie about what?

    How to Test the Spirits?

    Agreed. We often do. And it seems Pearl too agrees with you. We ourselves change and the way we look at things change and isn't that great. The way I looked at Satan, thought about him, treated him, my attitude towards him has definitely changed. I once hated him, dispised him, wished for his...

    How to Test the Spirits?

    So God is a killer, destroyer, Provider of delusions, is jealous, a hater .... and is consistent in being these? All these characteristics of your God are plainly seen in your bible, aren't they? I'm sure you can easily find them in there. Let me know if you need help finding the references.

    How did Jesus keep from sinning?

    I'm just wondering how you know that Jesus and Satan only had 3 conversations when Jesus' Father had Him led by His Spirit to be tempted by Satan. Jesus obviously told people what He experienced but from all that Jesus told people only a few things were eventually selected by only 3 of them and...

    How to Test the Spirits?

    Just wanted to add that the bible had become to me an idol, something that came between me and God. It was my first port of call in just about everything in my life, what to believe, how to live, to find answers to questions that arose. But after God opened my eyes to this unhealthy practice I...

    How did Jesus keep from sinning?

    I'm just going to ask, maybe, the obvious question relating to the original post , How did Jesus keep from sinning? Has anyone gone and asked Jesus Himself. Well those who profess to have a personal relationship with Him. In particular, the one who first asked the question, Hobie. That's if you...

    How to Test the Spirits?

    I agree that scripture is profitable for certain purposes but not essential. Walking is profitable. Eating rice is profitable. But they are not essential for a healthy life. I don't require scripture to live a godly life. My relationship with my Creators has been greatly benefited by not...

    How to Test the Spirits?

    Sure. Scripture is profitable for a number of purposes. So is walking. So is eating rice. These are all profitable but not essential. I can continue living a healthy existence without walking or eating rice. I can certainly continue to maintain an increasingly healthy relationship with God...

    How to Test the Spirits?

    I agree that Satan is a deceiver. But what is clear is God can do whatever He wants as He is accountable to no one. I did show you from scripture that God definitely changes His instructions and does some weird stuff. And He isn't about to stop according to scripture. Personally, I'm fine with...

    Didn't Jesus say to Peter, get behind me Satan? There's hope for you yet!

    How to Test the Spirits?

    I'm now assuming you mean, without the bible...one won't be able to tell... But God shared an insight into some examples of how He does things. He causes people to know truth by the Spirit of Truth and He cause people to believe untruth (lies) by sending humans a strong delusion. Not Satan but...

    How to Test the Spirits?

    I don't think it will always be in complete harmony with the law of God. As we know God contradicts His laws. So God can command His human representative to go against His law. In fact, when God told Joshua to command the His people to march around Jericho etc. and to kill men, women, children...

    Is that a commonly held belief?

    How to Test the Spirits?

    Yes different spirits but where did they come from and what their agenda is can be challlenging to know as with the parable of the wheat and the tares which seems to need to grow up together and god will sort out later because we don"t want to wrongly judge and take the wrong course of action...

    How to Test the Spirits?

    Excuse my ignorance, but what do YOU mean by the phrase, God's written Word?

    How did Jesus keep from sinning?

    I am wondering who God is sinning against, if sin is disobedience to a command of a superior as you made mention about Adam sinning by being disobedient. Who is God the Creator's superior that He should obey? Therefore God has indicated that He can do whatever He desires by some of the things...

    How did Jesus keep from sinning?

    Yes, what a fantastic hope we have and can hold out to others. Through the blood of the Lamb of God, God will reconcile ALL things in heaven and earth. Sin has been dealt with once and for ALL. Wherever sin is, God's sacrificial Lamb has given His blood to remove it ALL. The scope of this act is...

    How did Jesus keep from sinning?

    Someone stated earlier that God cannot sin. I just wanted to find out what it is God cannot do, specifically when it comes to sinning. Does sinning apply to everyone besides God. Because if we go with some of the things that God asked us to do or not to do, and apply it to Him then God certainly...
