Not sure how you are defining the problem, then. Of course, forgive them, for we are commanded to do that. ALthough it takes one to forgive and 2 to reconcile. It's fine to continue to show unbelievers that you care about them. However, rejecting Christ is not something we can reconcile. That...

My Pastor has said changing one's social groups is one of the most difficult yet important things to do as your life transforms to be Christ-centered. "You have done your part." It takes Spiritual maturity to accept that and move on if the other person in the relationship is letting issues hold...

The place to begin is concepts, then perceptions, finally with integrating the two experiences. For instance, it is axiomatic that everything that exists is limited. This is true for collections of things as well. Even the universe is limited. They way to confirm this is NOT a matter of...

When my son died I realized another disappointing fact about people; they are doing all they can to keep it together with normal life stresses. That is, most people are not able to help much. I learned this by taking people up on their offer in my desperate hour of letting them know "if there...

My ex-wife made a similar accusation against me. Just because I cannot always life up to my ideals does not mean that I don't strive for the ideals. And I think I am better off having these principles and live by them more than people who don't have such principles. Sad fact of life, people...

Circular reasoning.

So, how do you know the true nature of God while also avoiding the brain hijack?

1st, I asked where is the word "light" in Ephesians 6 that you said was there in the OP. 2nd, I asked if I missed your answer. Everyone can see that you don't answer questions. This is because you are scam artist with a giant ego, too good to lower yourself to the 'spiritually lesser' than...

No one is falling for this charlatan except for @stunnedbygrace and another poor soul.

Here is where you are hopelessly misguided. God's laws are protective, not restrictive. The reason the guard rail is there is to prevent you from driving off the cliff to your death. People are free to choose but not free from the consequences of that choice. Anyone is free to break God's law...

I'm sorry. Did you answer the question of where one can find the word "light" in Ephesians 6?

So, you deny your ego is at play here and on display EVEN THOUGH I’m not the only poster to point it out to you? Everyone else is wrong and you are right?

More big time projecting! You have the biggest ego in these forums (aside from who I might have put on ignore). Your ego is so big, you consistently correct God!! He meant to put "light" in Ephesians 6. Just an oversight that you are more than capable of correcting. Then, when called out on it...

Projecting, big time!

Oh, correct me great one! Where can I find the word "light" in Ephesians 6?

A bit paradoxical but true, which is why I generally prefer thought translations. A literal translation of the words "a rolling stone gathers no moss" misses the thought of the expression. We speak in idioms far more than we realize it. You can quote me on that 24/7. My Japanese co-workers...

Straining out gnats is how you categorize violating Deut 4:2? (And Mark 7:13) :contemplate: I agree with @Christophany A little humility would go a long way, my friend.

In scanning the OP, I did not realize his abuse of the notion of light. (I gave up reading the details of his extra-biblical agenda ridden posts. So, I just scan for his main points.) MS Word counted 16 times he used the word, light (13 times the word, walk). As you pointed out, Ephesians 6...

Not mutilating a child is now called abuse and hurting the child?! We are lost!

Sounds to me like you and Oregon are falsely equating corporal punishment with abuse and hurting a child.
