"If He says He took it, then He took it and remembers it no more. ( Heb 8:12)" "As far as the East is from the West"!!! ♥♥♥ Yikes...drunk and late. Cold feet or what! I can understand why you never wanted to celebrate your anniversary :( Also, very happy that the light bulb went on! Sixty...

Hi John, From what I can glean from scripture and commentaries, the word "perfect" here means "properly complete"...I don't think it means sinless though. Job 9:20 Job 9:15 Job 4:17 Job 15:5-6

Yes Helen, very good "reminder" verse, Ty ♥ Even though Satan is def in the mix here, I will not give him too much credit. We are constantly battling sin that lives in us...do you win every battle? I do not, but the battles get easier and easier. I know that you do not think that you are...

Yes, this is true. It is also manipulative as is the rest of this greedy world. Nobody could ever understand that rapid fire listing of all those MANY side effects...they know that and this is how they get away with so many things.

"Nancy. it is one thing to lack faith in one's own walk...but another to declare that others can't fulfill what God has clearly commanded." Well Epi, you may believe you are sinless. You even said in a recent post that we are NOT to emulate Jesus...now, is not being perfect, and spotless doing...

Yes, no different. Human nature is human nature, Jew or Gentile. The only difference I can see is that BC, the Spirit of God worked outside the person, or lit upon a person to do God's will. Christians, are now able to abide in Christ through the power of His Spirit within us, to apply the...

"Yes, who dares to enter into Him!!!" I know we are to go to the throne of God boldly, as The Word say's yet, I have a problem doing that...when I approach His throne in prayer, supplication, worship...it is more in an attitude of shame and total unworthiness. I think I have been chalking that...

Hi Mark! As far as "reaching" perfection, I know that there are no perfect Christians, we sin either through acting, thinking, speaking, doing... Sanctification to me, is an ongoing thing that when we walk in the Spirit, we will start to naturally 'stop' sinning in certain areas where that sin...

Thanks for the reply Epi, Good post. Just want to comment on this: "But there is a whole realm to walk in by grace through faith....which is in HIS world, His kingdom." “The Kingdom of God Is Within You” or, in the "midst" of you. We are also to seek the Kingdom as well as pray for His Kingdom...

Amen Pat, What you wrote here, above, is what I was trying to explain to some on here. I think we must needs to use more complicated words :D

Adam and Eve, rather than own up to what they did just hid, and when found they just played the blame game. (sry for the rhyme lol) No confession there...

C'mon Mark, do YOU think that YOU will actually achieve perfection while in this earthly body?

Thanks for the reply NM. Yeah, I think we would explode into a flame of fire without Christ and the HS living in us! "It is true God’s standard is perfection, but why?" <---Because He is perfect? Perfection personified! Perfect in ALL His ways ♥

IKR???? Ahahaha!

Yeah, nobody could ever live up to that. Ha! And yet, 1 John 2:1,2 " My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin,we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: [2] And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but...

Thank you! And yep, the just shall live by faith. We can have it all, power, wisdom, knowledge but we cannot please Him without faith, amen! "correct we all have a starting point in faith, so as the apostle Peter stated, add to your faith, see 2 Peter 1:5-12" Excellent scriptures to meditate...

Amen, very encouraging, thank you ♥ It IS comforting to know that our Rock does not change, He is always the same so we know we can count on His faithfulness! There is only one thing in this "world" that stays the same though, and that is...change :)

"dunno, no one much ansers my Qs! manana!" Hm, could be because in "which are some things hard to be understood" ? :D "goin' in th' book that one is i tell you what lol" My dogs are VEERY codependent :eek: :D Cannot find NARF on Google... :( And, isn't manana "tomorrow" in Spanish? ♥

Yeah, after they spend a nanosecond naming off 100 side effects! I love the ones that have death listed! They have themselves covered no matter what :rolleyes:

Willie, I know there is and never will be a "perfect" human being (cept for Jesus) I think what I am trying to get at here is that God's standard, to be accepted by Him (salvation) is perfection. He knows WE cannot be perfect in the flesh, He knew it was impossible to live by the OT Law hence...
