    Self Control

    @Behold If you have ears to hear, then hear! 'NORMAL' OPERATION With practised smiles and trendy garb ‘fine thank you how are you?’ is heard amongst ‘together folk’ we’re well when we are blue The water’s tested as we go to see how we will fare it’s safe to take the plunge I hear our...

    Self Control

    You tell me what they (Jesus and Paul) told me what to believe (as if you know) but what did Jesus and Paul tell you?.....was it to tell people good news or was it to give them advice? What is it that you hear? Your postings are all about advising and condemning those which don't agree with...

    Self Control

    You are unaware that anything that tells you what to do, comes under the banner of Law.

    Self Control

    I see you are spinning off in your own head.....again, pretending you know. Matthew 23:13 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to

    Self Control

    Behold, if only you had ears to hear yourself. You regularly use the phrase 'most christians' you clearly don't include yourself......what a toss! The following common usage of yours 'Let me show you how' is not only condescending but it assumes you have the right and appropriate thing to say...

    Self Control

    Therein is my challenge Rj, ie loving the nut jobs. At least its easier when folk admit it, I've got some wiggle room but when it's denied (nut job) I gotta bite my tongue, polish my thinking cap, pack my bags.....and whistle Waltzing Matilda. :hmhehm

    I will laugh at your calamity and mock you.. and other Proverbs.

    Here's something to consider ViJ... 2 Corinthians 1:20 'For all of God's promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory ... ....and what are his promises in summary? He does not hold our sins...

    Are You Dead to Self?

    So, the woman caught in adultery which they dragged before Jesus wasn't really sinning?

    Will God remember our sins or not?

    Bouncing the term around as if it is open to a 'method' holds no appeal to me and therefore not debatable. Born again is an action of God. Do we suppose Paul was born again? ....on the Damascus Road? Did he negotiate with God or jump through certain theological or behavioural hoops for it to...

    Hello!

    I think if you feel, rejection by your fellows hurts. If you've shut down your feelings, as what happens to folk who engage in warfare, compassion is also out of reach....and the fruit of that is PTSD.

    Will God remember our sins or not?

    The term or expression 'born again' means having a new mindset. For me that means being inline /compatible with the mind of God. What does that look like?....it looks like Jesus of Nazareth. How is that ultimately manifest? I find it embodied in the few final words Jesus uttered, 'Father...

    Cowardly: Churches Wanting To Be Known For What They Stand For? ahhhhhh, how shocking! tut tut. It goes without saying, I'm not one of them.

    Are You Dead to Self?

    I think its an accurate assessment rather than a judgement.

    "BEMA seat" : is the "Judgement seat of Christ".

    Ahhhh, another 'how to' post! ...the world of those who know all about another's heart and feel qualified to advise and correct.
