Yes, because we are not always tempted.

Can't wait to see @Jack knock it out of the park.

I do. Most stories have a beginning, middle and end or past, current and future. Given the context of a child who is born at the time of the writing, you know the "shall be called" does not refer to centuries future but within the normal lifetime of a person at the time of the writing. Also, I...

Welcome to the forum @Lordsflower. It's axiomatic that you can only give to someone else what you have. I cannot give you a dollar or spoon or love if I do not have it to begin with. For most of us, love is natural. Several posters have said they love others more than themselves, even. For my...

I think that is it. In Sunday's sermon, the Pastor talked about the difficulty many Christians have is RECEIVING grace. Bingo! Ever hear the expression, "you can't get blood out of a stone?" It is not about the object of trust, the Holy Spirit. It is this man is so wounded, he never developed...

We are not separate from others? Never heard the story of the 99 sheep? One separated from the rest. Point is, he does not love himself. Turning your question on its head. So, how can he love others?

Absolute v Relative. To love others MORE is not the command. You are not less than others and yes, it is a personal issue. How do you struggle with it? Were you love as a child? Also, it implies you do love yourself ALSO (just relatively less). To understand it begins by realizing where he...

The Bible says precious little about self love. It is implied when it says to love others as ourselves. What advice can you give to those who struggle to live and forgive themselves?

So be it. I prefer to die on my feet than live on my knees.

They can ask all they want. I have the right to remain silent.

They say experience is the best teacher - but also the most expensive. What caused me to balk was their insistence. No one has to force someone to embrace a good idea, like the convenience of smart phones. If the vac is so good, what is the need to coerce people to take it? People who resort to...

Talked with a fairly new Christian over the weekend. He lived a meth chemist and dealer for a season before coming to Christ. He struggles to forgive himself. So, it got me thinking Can You Truly Love Others If You Don't Love Yourself? Love to hear your thoughts.

Not I. The son of God is what Scripture says of Jesus. That’s good enough for me. Not sure why others feel compelled to read into unitarian text that he’s not merely something else but perniciously ‘fully’ something Scripture does not teach. Anti-Scriptural is no way to rely on Scripture. If...

Rather than copy and paste verses, please provide conclusion of your analysis relative to the discussion. Thanks!

Not only that, he has no grasp of logic whatsoever! A fallacy of argumentation is called Poisoning The Well. In his mind, he need not refute claims he does not agree with using facts, logic or sound principles. All he need do is claim "that is a JW argument" as though slander were sufficient...

Trump will be re-elected.

Yes, Ok. Now about the answers to my questions.

Not Jesus! Perhaps Isaiah’s own son, who’s son ‘Is’ born - not will be in 6 centuries.

Projecting. And I have quoted Scripture - just not the Scripture you claim I quote. It’s obvious to anyone watching our exchange that you are not answering questions.
