You have covered a lot of things here. I numbered and underlined each (above) and thought I would address them one at a time, numbered below: Yes, Paul wrestled with sin. As the apostle appointed by Jesus to the gentiles but also being a Jew, he was literally on the cusp between Israel who died...

That may be what you believe--but it is not biblical. Here rather, is what is true: When one is born again of the spirit of God, they are part of the same spirit. When one is born again of the spirit of God, it is no longer they who lives, but Christ who lives in them as a possession bought...

I wasn't talking about marriage. Neither was Paul. Neither was God. It's always been a parable. And you did what people always do, you thought as men think. Not good.

You betray Paul with a kiss? Regardless, it is not Romans 6:16 where things went wrong--that is just Paul repeating it (like a second chance). Where things actually went wrong for the church is right where Jesus set it before the church, just as God had done before Adam and Eve (Genesis 2:17)...

That would all be good...except for pitting brother against brother and us against Paul who was commissioned by Jesus for these times. You see, Jesus [by design] did not leave us "peace but at sword"...which was to carry us all the way through theses times with just the right measure of...

I can answer that.. Paul a servant of Jesus Christ was commissioned as the apostle to the gentiles (all other nations beyond Israel). Not being just one nation, but all other nations meant it would take time. For which Jesus showed him how things would go rather by grace and by weakness, that...

So...this has all been about your personal victory under Christ Jesus--a personal rationale? If it is, fine--it's enough, and at the heart it is all well and good (minus some details we can discuss) and yet there is no great revelation here. Meanwhile, the word of God has its own rationale...

Before I finish reading your full post: "...old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."

One of my favorite verses is: Proverbs 16:9 A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.

John 16:14 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. "What is Mine"

Why would He lie? Just as I would not say that my picture (to the left) is literally me, it is however "created in our image"...sound familiar? That is why Jesus would not say that He was God, but rather said "I and the Father are One" (meaning one and the same). You see, that is the actual...

It is you who do not understand. Husband and wife becoming one only points to what cannot and is not accomplished in the flesh. Nonetheless, we should discern by the spirit that God "all in all" in spirit, is rather all One--literally in a way the natural man and woman cannot experience.

Yes, again.

:) I can answer that. It is at that juncture that Jesus was returned to the full stature of God having become a man in lowly flesh. Jesus prayed to have again the Oneness and glory He once had--that things should be "on earth as it is in heaven", and He received it.

Yes, that is the problem. To the contrary, it has been appointed to us to "press on." Philippians 3:12 "Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God...

No, it is in the scriptures and I have laid it out for you, but you can't see past "on earth as it is in heaven", considering that they are different before, during, and after the Amen. They are not. But this too you do not understand, and therefore have resorted to pointing the finger. I...

Yes, I suppose there should be a stated distinction between the would-be church and the actual church. Indeed there is both, and both by design, one of flesh and blood and of the world, and one of the spirit of God. The one church of flesh and blood does not carry the water of the Spirit, but...

That is your error. Jesus honored the law and ordinances of Jewish monotheism, because He became a man in Israel and came to fulfill those laws and ordinances--not because He was under them, but did what was required for salvation. That is why He came. Did He believe in One God? Of course He...

No, that is not the circumstance at all. You not getting the bigger picture and not believing all that is written or even what you yourself say of Him, calling Him Messiah meaning "God (with us"), but not believing it--does not mean Jesus was not "Messiah" ("God (with us)." You are speaking...

Indeed, the proof of Jesus being God was confirmed by the Priests by their accusation, and by Jesus Himself by His ability to take up His life again. Unfortunately (for them) some do not believe all that is written.
