Why would you consider Christ misery? Why would you consider scripture misery? Why would you consider truth misery? Maybe one day they will make a Bible just for OSAS. Of course they would have to suck all the truth out it.

Pontius Pilate asked Christ, what is truth. I think that is where you are at with your Christian understanding. Within the four Gospels and the entirety of the New Testament the message of being good and doing good permeates the scriptures. As well as the punishment of not being good and even...

Now that is what I call a testimony! Something very similar to that happened to me....at a Holy Ghost church called Glad Tidings.

Absolutely not....smoking is not a sin. Of course tobacco was not known until the America's were discovered. Neither is the concept....there is no discussion of exercise or proper eating to better your health. And the whole your body is a temple thing does not fly because as Christ It is not...

That is my slogan....not the topic of the thread. The question to you is what sin(s) do think are hard to avoid?

Right! Ya know from the outside, what are non-Christians seeing us do? What are other Christians seeing us do. You have heard them say...seeking the approval of men.... Christ did not speak of seeking the approval of men....just the opposite. But he did say we are the light of the...

The topic is...why do you feel it is so hard to be good? Not if you should try to be good. I get the whole you do not care.....where is that scripture....And Christ said, Don't worry about trying to being good....God has already predestined that....if you are good it is of no merit to you and if...

It is just being considerate....as a rule....it does matter if it is meat, or smoking, or drinking or Mayonnaise. Colossians 2:16 Therefore, no one is to act as your judge in regard to food and drink, or in respect to a festival or a new moon, or a Sabbath day. There is a difference in saying it...

This is a very simple message that runs through the whole new testament. Be good and do good...It does not matter it is in word or example...Christ, Paul, John, and Peter...be good and do good...no one is preaching to be bad and do bad...just read. Ahh ya...I totally reject Calvinism. We can...

John 5:14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.” Oh but Christ is not good enough...right right...you like Paul better....Ok here is some Paul... Romans 1:32 Although they know God’s righteous...

The only "legalist" in that day are the only legalist of today....Judaizers and those that want to mix Christianity with Judaism. What you preach is about the only perverted Gospel I hear here. Paul continually supported morals and reprimand those of poor morals. The only legalists he opposed...

Part of learning how to apply Christianity is to putting the "no one is good" thing in its place. No, we are not good like God. But there are a lot of good Christians and Christ expects you to be good. What would be the alternative! Ironic as it is the whole "no one is good" thing has been used...

A God that did all that for you...no doubt. Sometimes people just think wrong. If you are a Christian, Satan has no voice. Self condemnation...it is an issue...sometimes goes back to wrong thinking. I can get into the effects of baptism. And then on the other hand Christ....a God....went...

You are very valuable....why else would a God allow Himself to be nailed to cross for you, if He did not think you were valuable.

Oh this is simple....the phrase does not occur in the oldest texts that we have available. You found this in the King James Version... 1611 ad? They did not have the most reliable sources. It is not in most other translations...not even the New King James Version. There is a whole lot of that.

It is enough for the disciple that he may become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they insult the members of his household! Ya there are scriptures that make you scratch your head....You know there is a...

1st Corinthians 8:11-13 11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. 12 When you sin against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will...

No, nothing can be an excuse. You can take the scriptures and then you can consider the spirit of Christ, the spirit of scriptures, the spirit of Christianity. Then also the them of the storyline. There is no part of this that is going to promote sin or sinful lifestyles. Corinth had its...

To understand the concept of the style....you look at the topics, and the statements that they made at the extreme ends...both ends...the same person. You can see it in motion here where people debate and throw scriptures at each other from the same person that seem to contradict each other. It...

Well Paul was a Brainiac. Got to read carefully. But the main ingredient is understanding the religious literary style. Paul is not the only one that used it....Christ...Peter...John....all used it. The questions is, can you understand the scriptures without understanding that style. Probably...
