:lol: The flesh vs. the flesh!

It is amazing the people as this, John Calvin, are seen by so many as saints when so little of their actions are like Christ's. So much for turn the other cheek... So much for not using the power of the flesh... So much for dying for your enemies...

I definitely think that being in a difficult situation pushes one to seek God wholeheartedly and commit because of his need... But what if we decided to commit like those people and seek the Lord with everything OUTSIDE of prison? Could we not be like him? Otherwise it's like saying "All things...

Thanks for the response Aspen :) I disagree on one point ;) I think we can be perfect while on this earth. Then again, not us, but Christ IN us... Through a full surrender and a full filling of the Spirit, I believe we really can walk as he did and be as he was. That's when we walk fully by...

LOL

On this subject, I was just wondering, how come is it that you can rep yourself!!! :lol: I'm sure no one uses it, but I just thought it was funny that you even could ;)

You give 3 cents!?!??!! Most people only give two, that's quite generous of you ;) :lol:

That's interesting. :) The thing is WE can't love like Jesus. Only Jesus can. But Jesus THROUGH us can. "It is no longer I who lives but Christ who lives in me." I think he is more than an example of how to follow his law (which is love), but he is the one who paid the price, yes for our sins...

This all makes me think about the verse in Amos... "How can two walk together, if they do not agree?" To me it's not so much that denomination doesn't matter, as it is that denominations show we are NOT conformed to Christ. Jesus can't disagree with Jesus. And believe me, more studying or...

I'm with the both of you on that one!

He was :) Blessings to you too!

Ok, I understand what you're saying. So what's your take on that? Good, bad? Just wondering how you see the objective law... :)

Greetings in the Lord! :)

Interesting post, avoice! And nice to meet you... I don't necessarily agree with the what, how, when and all that. But details details... My view on that is not really set or founded. I do agree with the essentials though; God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Unless we pass the test...

(1) Mostly KJV, though I also read other versions. (2) Acts 14:22 (3) Zechariah 12:8 Hope that answers your questions ;) Blessings

Hmm... I think there's more than one. As always, first and foremost it is for the glory of God. The first thing that comes to my mind is this: to prepare a bride perfect, without spot or wrinkled. As it says "through many trials must we enter the kingdom of God". I think it's to bring the...

The verse 'He who is born from above does not sin' (1 John 3) begs a few questions!!! :) :o

Thanks for the 'hi's' and the 'welcome's'! :D Nice to meet you all

LOL I guess I didn't understand the question right :lol:

Yes! I was talking about Cornelius! He was also a mentor of sorts to me, a spiritual uncle you could say... Though only for a short while. I met him on the forum only months ago... I met him mostly through Episkopos here, who I know personaly. In the short time I knew him, I was blessed...
