Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

[MostlyConfused]

The hard words are to bring down the part that condemns us...the flesh. You have to consider where the desire for comfort is coming from in you

But father, don’t you have a blessing for me too? Esau sold his birthright for what comforted the flesh.

 

[ProDeo]

The hard words are to bring down the part that condemns us...the flesh. You have to consider where the desire for comfort is coming from in you. You have to police your own flesh. You have to speak lawfully or else you get a "ticket". And the rebuke of a friend is better than the embrace of an enemy. The Lord is hard on His loved ones because the part of us that we seek to defend so often needs to die. No one likes that. But that's the way of it.

It's like...Lord, if I don't have to drink this cup, this death...let it pass from me. Nevertheless Your will be done.

So if people would check their own flesh at the door...we could have a much more uplifting exchange. The flesh shouldn't be the elephant in the room that everybody just ignores. Light exposes darkness. We should aspire to be children of light...and receive correction eagerly in order to become such.

2Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

You are not rightly dividing the word of truth.

You have just one issue.
