THIS is the problem here. You feel you cannot keep the commandments and so you read something of Paul's that sounds good and decide that you will become obsessed with that while never really understanding what it even means. Jesus comes first. We must listen to Him,,,hear Him,,,and obey HIM...

So now you no longer feel the necessity of obeying God? What is Paul's core message? Does Paul teach that we are to disobey God? You do not understand a simple word: CONCUPISCENSE How do you hope to understand Paul's writings? Do you believe Paul is teaching something different than what...

Please read what you posted: For I would not have know lust unless the law had said: Thou shalt not covet, but sin, taking occasion of the commandment aroused all manner of concupiscence in me. AROUSED ALL MANNER OF CONCUPISENSE You really should find out what that word means. Here's some...

This is for those reading along that wish to be properly informed: You have a lot to learn. CONCUPISCENSE Paragraph: 2514 St. John distinguishes three kinds of covetousness or concupiscence: lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life. What is an example of concupiscence? After a...

No problem. People reading along could see for themselves how you are unable to reply... and how all you do is use personal questions that require NO reply,,, and deflection to your own OPINION. :balloons:

I send you a REAL post with scripture and explanation. YOU reply asking if I keep up with the 10 Commandments. Obey God. And stop sounding like we don't have to. If we do not obey God,,,His wrath remains upon us. John 3:36

A person can LUST for anything. If CATHOLICS use the word... then we must allow CATHOLICS to define it. We Protestans use the expression: SIN NATURE.

OK saved. Looks like this conversation is over due to you inability to respond. If these last 4 posts is all you have to offer after reading mine... then it seems you have nothing further to say. Try to remember that when you were baptized you went into the water and DIED and was reborn IN...

Here is the meaning of CONCUPISCENSE In its widest acceptation, concupiscence is any yearning of the soul for good; in its strict and specific acceptation, a desire of the lower appetite contrary to reason. To understand how the sensuous and the rational appetite can be opposed, it should be...

You chose a good name. It's exactly as you say when God presents Himself to us and some reply must be given. Just like everything else...YouTube can be good or it can be bad. It does seem to me that this is an important topic, but I also believe God is merciful and if we have a teaching of His...

Concupiscense has a larger meaning than what you posted. A dictionary about Christian theology should be used when discussing theology. not an every day dictionary. And perhaps you'd care to explain why you're so OBSESSED with the 10 Commandments. Do YOU think it's OK to break them? Have you...

I just read that the Pope, Pope Leo, wants complete union with the Orthodox church. Reminded me of your posts.

Paul is most difficult to understand. Peter did say this. 2 Peter 3:16 This is why it's better to keep things simple. When Paul speaks of THE LAW he means the Law of the Mosaic Covenant and all the rules and regulations that were placed on the people fleeing Egypt. So you know why all these...

Yes sir. You post a list. What do you think it's supposed to prove?? It's silly when having an important conversation. I don't know any Christian that is under THE LAW. We are all under GRACE. If you stopped posting about the LAW,,,it might be helpful. You do seem to be obsessed by THE LAW...

That's not the problem GH The problem is not the name of God or His title or anything like that. The problem is a modern day heresey that was called Arianism in the early church. It is once again here with us. What did Thomas mean when he said: MY LORD AND MY GOD. All caps. What did it mean...

Are you aware that God became MAN? Are you aware that when GOD BECAME MAN He was limited in His abilities?? Do you THINK Jesus was omni-present when He was on this earth? Doesn't matter what YOU believe Trevor. What DOES matter is what the NT writers taught about Jesus: Here is what they...

You didn't understand my reply, but no problem - we agree. Agreed. Did I say Christians are lawless? I just posted what Jesus said: Some will not make heaven because He never knew them BECAUSE THEY ARE LAWLESS. It doesn't say "Christian" there but speaks about BEHAVIOR. So what does the...

Doubling down on something is the same as raising the standard. We agree.

Are you saying Jesus is a god with a small g? So He's one of those gods spoken of in the OT that God wanted to banish so that only HE could be worshipped? You can believe this if you want to. I'll stay with JESUS IS GOD. BTW,,,THE LOGS is exactly the same as THE WORD. Perhaps you don't know...

But you're not living under the Law. You shouldn't have any sinful passions - just as you've stated. (so does this mean you're perfect?) The NT does not teach that we must die to righeousness. It teaches that we must be righteous. 1 John 3:7 7Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever...
