The opposite is true. I won't waste my time copy pasting truth from the bible here because I can't take you seriously...you have ONE VERSE that you misunderstand...and use that against MANY verses to the contrary. I think you are just a typical indoctrinated person. A little honesty...and we...

I run for God. To please Him. Who are you living to please? Do you think Jesus came to earth to please you...so you would accept Him? Is this not the American middle class Jesus appealing to rich Westerners...and that kind of self-serving gospel? So you are seeing this backwards.

Are you Jesus? Does your self-righteousness extend even that far? No humility....just arrogance from you. Not at ALL like the real Jesus. But you are a sinner and needy in the flesh to satisfy it...so that's to be expected, no?

Agreed. The race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. It is by trusting and waiting on the Lord.

LOL Sure..I googled false teacher.com and just copy pasted my response! :Do_O You will see the way you see.

As a human surely you can see how what you are saying comes from yourself. As you are so you judge. Know yourself.

Jesus overcame...and won. But now we must also overcome and win as He did. We do this IN Him. Rev. 3:21 To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. They don't teach that in Sunday school do they?

That's what you've been conditioned to believe...the middle class American Jesus. ;) Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. But He was raised for they who enter into His resurrection life IN Him. We enter into Christ by forsaking this world and all we love here...and our very lives.

God is righteous. As such He can't be seen to prefer one person over the other. So then He allows US to determine who desires to be close to Him. He allows us to compete for that closeness to Him. It's a perfect race. It is perfectly fair and righteous. They who desire God will seek for Him in...

Jesus didn't come here to be accepted by God but rather to help US to be accepted and even to please God. He came to perfect the walk in His humanity...so that they who believe into Him take on His perfected humanity to walk as He did without any spot or wrinkle of sin. But the way INTO Christ...

And we also who abide in Him. We do exactly as He did...overcoming as He overcame...when we abide in Him. So then God is well pleased with us who enter into His rest.

Which brings us to Romans 8. How many of us ever get there. This is where we take on a new law....the law of the Spirit of life IN Christ Jesus. When we enter into an airplane we can fly above the law of gravity. Likewise when we enter into Christ we can fly like an eagle over the law of sin...

So you refuse to run in the great race? And this is not about self -edification. it's the exact opposite. It about being pleasing to God. 12 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset...

But they who are living do! :) Run so as to win the prize of the high calling in Christ! Hebrews 12:1-2 The Race of Faith 12 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with...

I think God compares us with others...in love and devotion, in faith and courage, in perseverance and faithfulness....etc. So yes...I am inspired by this idea. People are competitive in nature...but usually in the wrong pursuits. But WHAT A competition this is! We are to run as athletes for...

From your self-avowed sinful and weak perspective...it looks that way...yes.

So is it really that victory in Christ is a lie? Or just they who claim that victory in Christ are liars? Or that you really don't understand the gospel yet? or yourself? Which sounds more reasonable to a person who understands his own sinfulness and weakness? So then the eternal carnal...

If you ever get to know yourself you will realize that you...and most people ...read into the bible as they already are. So then when you read something like...be holy as God is holy...you think that is some kind of impossible ideal...so you don't take it to heart. Can we be perfect as our...

If life was easy...then anyone could do it! :) I think when God winks at you...you wink back!
