Flesh serves the law of sin, for the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! Because everyone born of God overcomes the world. In the mixed up unBiblical theology of the free will crowd, man overcomes the world with his wicked heart and is then born again.
Honestly...you should take your own advice. You'll never be a teacher until you practice what you preach. Jesus began to do and teach.I have fellowship with some very relaxed people who understand, and I understand them.
You are being peevish because you sense something you can not touch.
Jesus Christ wants all his children to grow up to stop making themselves an issue.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.Who, being in very nature God,did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;rather, he made himself nothingby taking the very nature of a servant,being made in human likeness.And being found in appearance as a man,he humbled himselfby becoming obedient to death—Even death on a cross!
Just gave you a nice gobbledygook doggy bag to snack on later on.
Grace and peace.
I get it. Sometimes it's hard to tell attitude in this type of media for we have no tone in the voice, no visuals on facial expression etc. I try to ignore what might seem obvious from the patterns but eventually some patterns are just too repetitive to ignore. I have not found Mem that repetitive. Hard to understand at times, but I would not say argumentative.
It's all good.
Blind leading the blind. Watch out for ditches.He's found a few in this thread so I guess he doesn't have to go far.
So sayeth the Cameron.
You better hope you're right or it is you who will be eating humble pie.
The Source of all virtue (love, goodness, righteousness, justice, holiness, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, etc. is God, and has nothing to do with man's "freewill decisions" -- unless you think man chose to invent a god made in his own image.
God IS love.
He does not stop being Love.
God does not need an object to be love.
God does not bless Christians according to His Love.
God is not sentimental.
But, rather, according to who is walking according His justice correctly.
If you mature to adjust to the justice of God?
By walking in the Spirit and thinking sound doctrine as your guide?
Then He will be free to introduce you directly to experiencing His Love by blessing!
To experience Love as much as one has developed the capacity for, by thinking with God in sound doctrine.
False doctrine is reserved for proud suckers who believe what is written on the package, but fail to see it is not what is found inside.
I like pie. True recognition of humility is lacking in this thread. If putting it in pie would help, I'm for it.So sayeth the Cameron.
You better hope you're right or it is you who will be eating humble pie.
Consent provided ipso facto consent required and indeed consent was sought.
Pursuant to the intensive negotiations of course.
The Source of all virtue (love, goodness, righteousness, justice, holiness, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, etc. is God, and has nothing to do with man's "freewill decisions" -- unless you think man chose to invent a god made in his own image.
Virtue is produced in a man by what the man chooses to think with.
Sound doctrine = accurate knowledge!
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To him be glory both now and forever! Amen. 2 Peter 3:18
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight.
Philippians 1:9

Well I much rather defend someone who actually cares about What they say, than someone who doesn't like you.
If I had my way I would have you arrested a long time ago for religious racism.
It was one of a few doodled I made trying out a drawing app, to see how close the features come to actual pencil and paper.
@Cameron143 buddy.....you do realize that there there exist these reference texts called "concordance", "lexicon", "interlinear" right?
Proffering imaginative sagas, lore, philosophy and folktales is not helpful.
This doesn't do much to discourage my view of it. Manoah and Jacob expected that they should die after having seen an Angel of the LORD. And they didn't think this because they'd mistaken an 'ordinary' angel for the LORD who, btw, is God. "Why do you ask my name, seeing that it is beyond understanding?" Judges 13:18
right ... all glory to God Who makes Himself known. The only way mankind can know there is a God is because He reveals Himself.
right ... the claim that believing in the Lord Jesus Christ means the believer saves him or herself is utter nonsense.Kroogz said:

The word "love" in John 14:23 is translated from the Greek word agapáō which is the verb form of the word agapē which is a noun.
The born again believer has the capacity to agapáō (as he or she walks not after the flesh, but after the spirit) because he or she is filled with Holy Spirit in which agapē ... which is unconditional, sacrificial love ... is fruit. God is agapē (1 John 4:8, 16) ... God reveals His love to the whole world (John 3:16 (agapáō)) ... fruit of the Spirit love is agapē love and the born again believer is instructed to walk in the Spirit (Gal 5:16). As we walk in the Spirit we will not fulfil the lust of the flesh. We will be able to love (agapáō) others as God instructs in His Word.
When we love (agapáō) it is due to the fruit of the Spirit being brought forth in us. We do not produce this agapáō, we merely hold it out to others. In John 15, we are instructed to abide in the Vine (the Lord Jesus Christ). As we remain in Him, it is His fruit which is brought forth.
Mark 12:28-34 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love (Greek agapáō) the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love (Greek agapáō) thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: And to love (Greek agapáō) him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love (Greek agapáō) his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God ...
1 John 4:20 If a man say, I love (Greek agapáō) God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth (Greek agapáō) not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love (Greek agapáō) God whom he hath not seen?
1 John 5:2 By this we know that we love (Greek agapáō) the children of God, when we love (Greek agapáō) God, and keep his commandments.
