If you cannot see how things are changing, that is your polarised view of things.

Listen to Paul

Abstain from every form of evil.
1 Thess 5:22

For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness.
1 Thess 4:7

Now the mark is clear, that we are expected to walk.
Why is it people find it so hard to admit this is what we can do when walking in the Spirit,
and they feel condemnation to talk about it.

Now this situation happens when sin is not repentented of, and ones conscience pricks ones
heart to humble oneself before the Lord.

How do I know this is happening in peoples lives? Because the response is to say no one is
in condemnation if they believe in Jesus though they have known unconfessed, unrepented
of sin in their lives.

The point we have explored here on this thread, is one can be aware of sin issues, but
one needs to explore before the Lord all the issues around it, so He can bring light and resolution
to the situation. Have faith in Christ and talk with Him about it.
 
Never have worn high heels in my entire life, never learned how. LOL.. I'd break my neck in stillettos, but I can wear the 90's style chunky wedge shoes. I'm a barefoot kinda girl, always have been.. :)

Why not add to this something like "This is following Jesus - having complete dependence on what Christ alone has done for us to do those things He commanded us to do, because without Him we can do nothing" ?

Otherwise, you make it look like "all we have to do is believe in Jesus", making it look like a mental assention is all it takes.

You aren't saying that, right?

I agree but there is another aspect to this too.

For every member - there are 10 people viewing the threads so it's good to proclaim Christ and His grace through faith so that people will be able to have the proper nutrients to walk by the spirit and experience the life of Christ while on this earth.

I have come to learn we can do that by not responding directly to people. I think some people just like to divide and fight.

Amen...I have stopped interacting with those that deal deceitfully and slander others in the body of Christ. It's a waste of time and serves no purpose.

This is following Jesus - having complete dependence on what Christ alone has done for us.

Why don't you answer me? Can't you tell me?
 
Now I feel bad for saying that. Fran's ok...none of us are perfect. Maybe she's just saying things to stir us up and then laughs about us falling for them?

how about this- you are here to push a denominational doctrine, and you appear to try to force everything into that belief system, while at the same time not wanting to actually discuss anything about that belief system.

so what is the point of answering a question that you will probably use to push that agenda..

Not sure if that was directed at me or not (I can not read his posts) But either way, He is getting his own medicine the way I look at it.
