Yes, we do have areas of our lives that haunt us in our flesh. Ask God to hate sin as much as He does, then from there on out, thank Him daily that He will answer your prayer to be more like Him... Keep practicing the fruit of the Spirit: "22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace...

Hi Chris, I think this list of false teachers fits GIMSYS, not CL. I think you two got your wires crossed and lot's of assuming going on too :( She is no name it claim it, blab and grab it speak it into existence kind of gal, by a long shot. Yes, her and I do disagree on the sinlessness...

Well, he looks grateful :)

Sometimes one can get tired of too much infighting on the forums so I thought, why not share a part of where we get our teachings from? I'd love to hear some of your sermons...kind of like getting to know where one is coming from maybe? I dunno, seems a good place to come if bored or when...

Oh Lord, WHY??!!!

Well...I dunno. You are your own personalities with likes and dislikes. If this instinct you have IS from your mother then, that is at least one good thing you got from her?? Why examine, you cannot stop your love for God's creatures sister, yes??

Yes! I won't even watch wildlife shows where the loin takes a gazelle or some other animal down. Cannot do it. Same with watching a movie and the dog gets killed! There are at least 3 of us on here who are very connected to animals...you...me and @aspen . And, @Cristo Rei As far as spiders...

Trophy hunters do rub me the wrong way too. Especially the ones who spend thousands for a weekend away at one of those hunting places, the poor animals are literally sitting ducks. The guys are pretty much guaranteed a "trophy" :(

:D

Hi Gideon, That was one of the few logical and reasonable thought out post I have read in some time. Refreshing. If only all Christians could read this and take it to heart. It is kind of disheartening when speaking to another Christian who is allowing such fear from the things we were...

Hi Dave, It is useless. The indoctrination is pretty deep here. Prayer... ;)

It's like this kind of movement is demanding things of God. They grab onto one or 2 verses and make a whole doctrine out of it. This was the very first (outside of Lutheran) Church outside of a Catholic Church I ever attended :eek: I knew right away that they were off. Felt uncomfortable...

Beautiful and spot on. "It feels like there's not enough grace inside of me" <---- exactly! Even though, would not be where I am today were it not FOR His grace. Satan tries so hard to steal the confidence we have in Christ, the joy of our salvation...the security in knowing He really does...

Thank you @nd Tim., Yes, I suppose even without knowing or trying to encourage others, it can happen as we don't know what someone is going through, Amen. And, He is growing me even though I myself seem to fall into the same kind of trap...getting better each day :) It is nice to know that...

He's awesome!

Oh, what a bittersweet story John. I wish he would have listened to his family and friends.

Hi 2 Tim. "For if I do not possess the same Grace and Understanding that Christ has given to me, then perhaps He never gave it to me in the first place . . . and that if a very frightening notion." Thank you for being so candid on here. We are told to confess our sins to one another. Like...

Yes, the sheep on the right and the goats on the left. As one of my fave teachers always say's "There are NO shoats and no geeps ha! Christians as a whole from observation, really need to take "sin" much more seriously. There are so many that are still worldly and think it is alright. They...

That would have been quite the highlight for me too Cristo! And the colors are something I've never seen before either.
