And so do we consent to the indwelling of the spirit EVERY TIME we are tempted and decide to kill our will and obey the will of God. Jesus said “follow me,“ which is NOT one and done. We choose anew to follow him with each step. I‘m reminded of mercy shown to people who commit terrible crimes...

Where does Jesus say, “Although I’m speaking ABOUT end times not too soon, the people listening TO me now in THIS generation, will not pass before the end comes? Book. Chapter. Verse.

Real faith include work. The relationship is obvious. FAITH = BELIEF + ACTION Anyone who thinks an all knowing God sent his son to suffer and die horribly for lip service is foolish. Anyone can say they believe. Demons believe. Belief does not make a transformative life. Saying you believe...

I don’t think God is a rapist, do you?

It does. You’re in denial that it does. TO and ABOUT are the generations the text contains as is normal language usage.

Neither and irrelevant. You are hung up on this foolishness; It’s a question of referring to the audience at the time OR the time when the signs under discussion happen. Both are plausible from the text. It’s understanding language usage. Suppose I tell you about a conversation I had with my...

Like inferring from Christ's words that "this generation" refers to those who were listening to him speak.

I look forward to all the Leftists upset that this guy compares himself to Christ. ‘Dangerous’: Leftist Muslim Senate candidate El-Sayed compares himself to … JESUS! * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

Never explicit says it. it’s called an inference.

It is horrendous, like advocating TO DO the opposite of what God wills AND still be acceptable to God. It is amazing. Debauchery. Glorification. Not the same. I always go back to the 2 trees in the Garden. Following God, the tree of Life and the other tree; believing AND acting per God’s...

Resolving. Ignoring contradictions. Not the same thing. No, you ignored her question. Whatever you need to do to assuage your conscience.

@Eternally Grateful, why can't you answer the question posed to you in Post #778? Really? She posts many verses supporting her position, which you summarily ignore and only present a scant few other verses for discussion. Pathetic! No false accusation. You aren't answering her question but...

Great testimony of heaviness leaving your body, etc. I think the OSAS denies our capacity to keep sinning IF we so choose. My experience is it is not intellectual but emotionally tempting in the heat of the moment. The dichotomy of intentional v unintentional sin probably deserves its own...

He's not too fond of me, not because of my sex but because I, like you, reject OSAS without apology.

@Eternally Grateful, why can't you answer the question posed to you in Post #778?

There is no contextual problem. Luke 9 is NOT talking about end times. The OP is.

This too is my observation of @ScottA. So much so that I put him on ignore. No sense banging my head against the wall.

Regarding seeing the kingdom of God - not the signs referred to in the OP.

A little too confident in your interpretation, it seems to me. I was always taught "this generation" does not refer to the generation listening to Jesus but the generation to witness "all these things."

I’d thing this is the highest achievement of us all; we all want to display ourselves as Christ. Right?
