Hi J, Good afternoon. (I sleep in late so as to keep my immune system optimal.) I liked all the verses you provided. Especially, John 3:34, For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure. Indeed, Jesus is still the Word. But He doesn't speak on...

Could Jesus be everywhere at once? Did He have all knowledge, or just what the Father told Him? The part of God that was the Word, emptied himself in order to be able to die. Then after His resurrection, He asked the Father to restore the glory He had before. So without His glory the Father was...

Jesus was BORN as a human under the law. He lived under the law. He wasn't our High Priest until after the Resurrection.

That's why it is easier. There is no struggle to do what comes naturally.

It was excused. He said so. Now it happened, as He went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, that they watched Him closely. 2 And behold, there was a certain man before Him who had dropsy. 3 And Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees...

I'm talking about the Sabbath Law. You were accusing Jesus while He was under the law of working on the Sabbath. So if one of them had an ox and it fell in a pit, would it have been a sin for them to pull it out on the Sabbath?

So if one of your livestock fell in a pit, would you wait till Sunday to help it out?

Lust is only a sin when it is dwelt on, or from deliberately watching porn. But when it is off the wall and you resist it and it is gone, that wasn't a sin.

Lust is a temptation. Those thoughts are from the devil. Resist the devil and he will flee.

There are good works and works of toil.

No it isn't. Did you not read the text? You can still resist it and the devil will flee. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

You didn't complete my quote. And I said tougher laws, but easier to keep, not harder. Except, of course, if you don't have the Spirit.

Conceived is the key. James 1:14-15 And conceived is only after dwelling on the lust. It is not when a lustful thought first comes into your mind, because that can be resisted.

There is a difference between doing work, and doing good. Jesus did good. The Pharisees accused Him of working.

Yes, He did, and always gave scriptural proof. It was the rabbis that made it harder.

You do know Jesus lived under the Law, but taught the New Covenant laws.

I agree about the tzitzit, etc. But through the Spirit, we are able to keep the Ten Commandments, which is the Law spoken of in Romans 7.

You already know that I know that, so why bring it up? You do know that the law of Liberty is tougher than the Law of Moses don't you? But the Spirit makes it actually easier.

Then don't do either. Whatever you believe is sin, is sin. Romans 14

Lust is a temptation, but it takes a while before it actually becomes sin. James 1:14-15 You would have to willfully dwell on it.
