Examples: Bad thoughts towards another flitting through my mind. Losing patience. Condemnation due to lack of prayer and scripture reading (those could as well be the Holy Spirit simply convicting me) doubt that He could possibly love me...I'm sure there is more but, you get the point, lol.

You see, but I don't worry about those things anymore as I have no control anyhow. Things like, mortgage, utilities, repairs...it's funny that I can now rest in the peace that I can trust Him in these tangible things, even though I have an NSF in my checking account right now. Back in the day...

@VictoryinJesus I'm sorry to hear of your trial with endurance. Prayers for you, to have strength of mind and spirit and peace. I pray He lifts you up! Your last paragraph is so honest, we should all be able to take these things to one another in TRUE brotherly love, I have more of a tough...

Whaaa?? First off, I never even once mentioned the Old Covenant, of which I love just as much as the New! Nor have I said a thing about "works based salvation" so, don't know where that is coming from. ..."but he also points out that it points us to salvation." <--- no brainier, I think we...

It seems they have even more restrictions put on what they can and can't eat according to : We may not eat animals that died of natural causes (Deut. 14:21) or that were killed by other animals. In addition, the animal must have no disease or flaws in the organs at the time of slaughter.Num...

Yeah, Bang- we become as the Stepford Wives, Ha, if only! It kind of seems that the longer and deeper one is immersed in a sinful life, the harder it is for them to walk steadily and fully in the Spirit. It is not at all for lack of seeking His ways, if their hearts are right with Him. We each...

...they are not just covered, they are removed as far as the East is to the West? "If their sins are gone, they are sinless. Make up your mind. Do they continue to sin, or do they refrain from sin? Do they walk after the Spirit, or do they fulfill the lust of the flesh? Take your pick. Walking...

Well, there ya have it! What's your excuse? :D :D:D

I will have to come back to this tomorrow, goodnight.

To me, there is only one Covenant and that is the New one, the old has passed away. Heck, maybe you are one of the sinless or "few" that will make it to the Kingdom when all is said and done, while us other folk who do get angry at times, do think bad thoughts against someone or don't do what...

Was Paul not speaking to Christians, who are under the New Covenant?

Good luck, it's like trying to break up a fight between pit bulls! lol. Welcome to the site @Jenniferdiana3637 and a very Merry Christmas to you.

Hmmm, maybe that's why my family is crazy? My mom cooked in big aluminum pots :eek::D

Merry Christmas to you as well and, brave? Maybe more like foolish, lol...guess this is where the rubber hits the road I'll see the changes in some towards me. Meh, nothing new :rolleyes:

Nancy said: "We strive for perfection, and repent immediately if we sin as we, well have an advocate with the Father..." Schnarkle said: "That is only while under the Old Covenant. Those terms do not apply to the New Covenant." "Is not Jesus our advocate? 1 John 2:1, NASB: "My little children...

No other way to do it, I would say.

White washed, walking tombs. And they don't know it. The outward, seen sins to me, anyhow, are the easiest to overcome but, with myself, it is in the thought area, anger and unfairness and the like. These are the ones nobody sees but God and, He is still in the business of forgiving! Praise...

Not to mention, if we were perfect in keeping the law, why did Jesus have to die? We strive for perfection and repent immediately if we sin as we, well have an advocate with the Father...

Hmm, both maybe? Bait to catch the fish and prey to get God's attention?? :)
