Right. Just want to add that Jesus also meant that we are not to be vengeful. Vengeance is mine saith the Lord. This is one of the reasons I don't like capital punishment, but in some cases I could understand why it might be necessary. (for instance if a prisoner kills a guard)

In Paul's case it might be true. It's believed that he saw heaven. If we saw it, we might prefer to leave here and go there too.

How does one fail in sanctification? If you remain in Christ, abide in Christ, sanctification is a life-long process. It just means doing what God would want of you. It could be anything. Are we always going to listen? No. That would be perfection. It's an ON-GOING process. We won't see...

Hi Mary, I'm going to link a very reliable source for the PoJames. It's Catholic. I tried to go by paragraph but it does not match up to what you wrote. You could check it out yourself... CHURCH FATHERS: Protoevangelium of James

ByGrace, I would like to say this regarding your above post. Here you say that striving for perfection is an impossibility. The reaching of perfection may be impossible in this world, but why is the effort or striving impossible? So now you say THIS. On other threads you've stated that Jesus...

There's no such term as Hard Believism Believism has always been the same since the time of the Apostles and Jesus before them. It's just recently that this idea of "faith only" has come about. So a term had to be made for it. Easy Believism or Hyper Grace. They're movements within the...

Impatient.... For the word of God. Good. Manana.

It's saying about an eye for an eye. You have heard it said....... But I say to you...

LOL Not now young man!

I find it sad that we're so split up. Jesus wanted us to be one. And the person's who died in Europe because of wars...

Are you serious? It sounds sarcastic...

No. I said we are Not dying to leave. Although we do have to die to leave.. Christ knew what was coming. His very own chosen people were going to crucify him.

Yeah. I have an extra dry sense of humor... Sorry. But get used to it!

I went to the link at wiki. It states that definitive council for the Trinity was in 381 at Constantinople. I think this is wrong... I believe it was decided in 425 at Ephesus that the 325 nicene Creed regarding the Trinity was the correct one. Could you check?

You misunderstood my post. I trust the ECF more than anyone. I know there were truths before the Reformation. I'm on a tablet and can't go back to my original post. Will check out the link on computer...

Interesting point! Never thought of this. Relating no - work to the God factor, I mean.

I don't understand...

I know you know who you are. R U always so serious?

To me worship means to place god above everything. Even when I'm not doing it, I know it. It means to give him the credit. To have Him on your lips,,,talking about Him to whom will listen. To consider Him, make Him a part of your life. Keep holy every day...as much as possible. I fail a lot.

Yes. It's right in that area in Leviticus. But Jesus said it's wrong...
