Wow. Yeah, fine with me.

Here's one you missed- "...and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name JESUS." Matthew 1:25

Asleep-awake!

Think I will start quoting also...there are so many over just the last year that I come upon that are months old.

I sure am!

Okay, how is Cantaloupe opposite of "broad"? Kind of confused here! And also, how is "up" the opposite of "cat" @Madad21 ?

Take from it what you will, or won't.

@Triumph1300 "ill mannered"??! Whaaaat? Hardly.

That was the OLD me, lol. Not proud of it :(

Even though I do not subscribe to John Piper's Calvinistic views, he still has some awesome insight in other areas. He puts what I would like to in my own words, much better than I could. Here is a short article on Holiness and Righteousness: God Is Holy and Righteous — Are Those the Same?

That's okay, we can disagree and still love each other. I respect your take on things though, I do not think there is one single person on here that I agree with 100%

"Paul never claimed to be perfect, but rather pressed on towards the goal. For me the two issues are the walk is long and the end can be achieved in Christ." Agreed! We are in a constant battle with the flesh, sin, and Satan. STRIVING for that high calling means to me that it is an ongoing...

For sure! We all (at least, most of us Christians) agree with God yet, will choose our own ways over His at times. My ONLY desire is to do His will at all times...yet, I miss the mark many times. "Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin." James 4:17

I believe we are progressively freed from the power of sin (Romans 6:15–23). We have been freed from the penalty of sin but are not immune to it. Sin lives in our flesh...sometimes it seems as though we can take 3 steps forward and 2 steps back...we fall but it is the getting back up that...
