Here's the thing: This teaching from Paul sure feels like elements from the Law of Moses. If that's True, what happened to "Freedom in Christ"? What happened to "there is no male nor female"? Galatians 5:1 NIV - "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let...

? I have no recollection of what you're referring to. Only God knows the Heart . . . I do not.

I'm sorry good sir, but I don't think that this is going to work. We're both on such opposite spectrums, we'll never get to the end.

Sure. If mocking is what you guys do in other threads . . . go for it. It's not welcome here.

I assure any and all of you . . . when you stand before God, the last thing you will EVER say is that you're in control (over anything at all).

It's a sad day when Christians mock Christians. I'm sorry that you're being treated this way. Moderators would be wise to act and put this to a stop.

Proverbs 9:12 CSB - 12 "If you are wise, you are wise for your own benefit; if you mock, you alone will bear the consequences."

And thank you, good sir! You know, I'm not here to talk to people that believe exactly what I believe (though that [would] be amazing) but am more interested in what others believe. Why? I'm after the Truth. And even if someone believes the polar opposite, and even if I believe I am right, I...

Well, thank you! :) I believe that I take an unemotional stance on Scripture when it comes to interpreting it. I have no agenda other than to know the Truth. I don't care what the Truth is, as long as I have it. To live without the Truth [is] the Matrix. To live in a world of deception is...

That's the way that I see the Bible explains it. Yes.

I believe that God is in control of everything, yes. I don't see any possible way around it. The Bible is about Power and Control. The Bible is written about the Power that God has over all of Creation, right down to the degree that He has written an Almighty Plan that takes humans through the...

My Bibles say that Paul was controlled by the Flesh, that is, the Sinful Nature. 1 Corinthians 3:2-3 KJV - "I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. 3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and...

Sorry, but I didn't understand your reply pretty much at all. Here it is again . . . 18 "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." So, in verse 18 above, we have human suffering mentioned, but Paul...

So you're controlling yourself? Not good. Scripture makes it clear that you are not to be controlled by yourself, but that you are to be controlled by the Holy Spirit, if you have the Spirit within you. Romans 8:9 NLT - "But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by...

@101G Sir, our objective with this Scripture set is to determine if the Curse applied to all of creation is also applied to humanity. Here it is! Romans 8:18-23 KJV - 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed...

Well . . . maybe! But, at his age, I think he might have overcome it a while ago. However, what I have done is work with him in not hating himself, but instead, believing in himself. It's been a battle . . . but his Eternity is worth it!

Not at all. Should we start a new thread? I'm thinking we should look closely at the surrounding six verses (or so) and dig in. I think it would be worthwhile, or . . . since I believe that this Curse was created and implemented by God, we could stay here. Up to you, sir.

How do you feel about the below passage set? Romans 8:20-22 NLT - "Against its will, all creation was subjected to God's curse. But with eager hope, the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God's children in glorious freedom from death and decay. For we know that all creation has...

You, my friend . . . have the Gifted Holy Love of Christ within you. Be glad that your Heart has feeling! :)

I am so proud of you! Wow!
