Galatians 5:22.....Was Jesus Spirit filled?

[Tman]

Thanks, I know him well..... His dad adopted me

 

[Oblio]

You say Jesus sinned...I say you need to repent and learn the truth.

 

[Jesusfollower]

Jesus taught Paul secret things that no other Apostle was taught

Paul said this, under inspiration of God, presumably taught by Jesus

Galatians 5
17 The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.

We see here what the fruit of the spirit is not

Galatians 5
19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division,21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

We see here what is the fruit of the spirit

Galatians 5:22
But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

Jesus taught us this

Matthew
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[a] 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well.


So, that brings us to this passage

John 2
13 It was nearly time for the Jewish Passover celebration, so Jesus went to Jerusalem. 14 In the Temple area he saw merchants selling cattle, sheep, and doves for sacrifices; he also saw dealers at tables exchanging foreign money.15 Jesus made a whip from some ropes and chased them all out of the Temple. He drove out the sheep and cattle, scattered the money changers’ coins over the floor, and turned over their tables. 16 Then, going over to the people who sold doves, he told them, “Get these things out of here. Stop turning my Father’s house into a marketplace!”

I posit that this is not the behavior of a Spirit filled person, has on Jesus own teachings of loving one another, especially your enemy

Doing something sinful just because you are God doesn't make it ok. In fact, it is contradictory to all of scripture

Waiting for the ill informed to tell me how Christlike these actions were

There is a Starbucks at my church, is it ok to be an imitator of Christ and tear that thing up
.

Again, someone who puts paul before JESUS CHRIST SON OF GOD. What is it you do not understand?

[NotmebutHim]

There's a world of difference between trying to understand difficult Scripture passages and calling Christ's very character into question.

 

[Tman]

Let me rephrase,

How can we discern if physically harming and destroying someone else's property is Christ like, in light of the commands of Jesus to love others as yourself, do unto others, and turn the other cheek? And given that we are to be imitators of Christ

 

[Tman]

It seems quite appropriate that the One who created all that is would protect and defend those who love Him. After all, He is Love, and is the first to be worthy of being l9oved.

Those folks you mention were leading Israelites astry. He, being the Good Shepherd should never condone suche abuse of the Sabbath, nor allow others to teach against the Seventh Day.

So far, you have the best answer.......Jesus didn't tolerate this heretical behavior that we condone

 

[Tman]

Again, someone who puts paul before JESUS CHRIST SON OF GOD. What is it you do not understand?

JF

Thanks, believe me we will get to the false teachings of Paul in due time

 

[Oblio]

I said my duty. Your blood is on your head. After all, it's not me that you answer to.

 

[SomeDisciple]

As men, we are told not to judge others, lest be judged; Jesus put aside His divinity and became fully man. So if God 'tells' someone to blow up a clinic or church, its ok ? Because God told them to do it ...

My point in all of this, none of you, or me or that matter, know of which we speak; we guess based on our reading of the word, particularly leaning on others telling us what it means. But when one TRULY EXAMNINES word vs. deed, there is is clear evidence we don't have noy of it figured out

Jesus did what He told us not to
He is God, so I guess that is ok, but it is still contrary to our plain understanding of the moral law

We are told not to judge those without- but since your profile says "christian", if you constantly say things that are unbecoming, it's going to get called out.
Only the government has license to kill for God, unless you're protecting the innocent. I don't judge the killers of "abortionists" (see: murderers) if abortion "clinics" are what you're talking about. Maybe God will judge them... maybe he won't.

The people (and their property) in the temple didnt belong there. Maybe learn how to act in the temple of God, and show some reverence and you won't get whipped.

Love isn't all hugs and holding hands and saying nice things. Sometimes it's dishing out a spanking... or blowing up a city. God isn't a hippie.

 

[Dino246]

It looks like the OP is itching for an argument.

 

[SophieT]

Nice deflection
We are discussing the inerrant, inspired, and non contradicting passages I quoted above....

You do believe in inspiration and inerrancy, don't you ?

no

you wish to discuss your belief Jesus was without love

go ahead

it's clear you have your mind made up that Christ did something unholy or sinful. Was God's destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah unholy and sinful?

Before you answer, Jesus is God and whatever HE did was from the Holy Spirit completely.

Jesus relied on the Holy Spirit for everything as a man. IF you are not a Christian and have come here with your self-righteous position you will never understand Christ in the Bible.

 

[SophieT]

It looks like the OP is itching for an argument.

in which thread?

I'm almost loosing track

I'm guessing he has been told to hush up in his own church (they do have a coffee bar in the church as he has pointed out)

never a dull moment

 

[SophieT]

it seems the op is letting little hints out that his actual aim here, is to discuss the option of doing what Jesus did

only he is not Jesus and his anger is not holy or from God

anger seems very pent up as if no one is listening to him...I would drop that at the foot of the congregation he attends since he has dropped a few narratives concerning his judgement on their hideous sinfulness

mind you, sin is at the door and that well known coffee brand is definitely leftist in it's persuasions

 

[SophieT]

the law of non contradiction

you are not Plato

you have seriously wounded his logic (whether true or not)

 

[CS1]

I know you tried to present this in a logical and conclusive manner, but it does not fly

it does not fly as your little dialogue attempts to persuade from your own conclusion, the purpose of which is...do clue us in because your explanation creates questions that you would most likely prefer to ignore

it seems you are angry against your church

I wonder what sort of influence you wield there when taking people aside to complain

smh

Yes, clearly the issue is not the issue here with this one.

 

[SophieT]

Yes, clearly the issue is not the issue here with this one.

I think he is projecting as he knows none of us here but cannot stop inflicting tongue lashings that have left most with the thought they are dealing with someone who has unresolved anger issues and needs someone to talk to about them

well yes

now and then

 

[Jesusfollower]

Tman,

I found a pdf file on the internet that explains the context and more of what Jesus son of GOD did in the temple. I have attached the file hoping it will be useful.

Peace, JF.
