If you want to heed in obedience, my advice be careful in the choice of words on our lips.

As born-again believers, we should not have crude words. Spewing out crude words or vulgarity betrays the heart. People will know.

Jesus Christ did say it's out of our heart, the mouth speaks.

It's one thing to argue on theology and another to live practicing it.

Personally, I feel it's pointless to argue so much, as opposed to living by the Holy Spirit. <=== I want this.

My whole intention is to reach out so we can benefit from what Christ has given. I don't want this to be a platform to argue.

That is why I ask if your theology doesn't change you, perhaps you may want to consider Grace to change you.

Father of lies?
Twist and turn scripture to my own destruction?
We have cornered you?
pathetic emotional argument?
Manipulate people's emotions?
Repent?

Oh my.

Look at those words.

Argumentative. Checks out.
Condemning. Checks out.
Taking it very personally. Checks out.
Hostile? Checks out.

Someone talking about repent.....

Matthew 26: 51-52 (NIV) - “ 51 With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
52“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

Luke 9:53-55 (NIV) - 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. 54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them ?” 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them

Christ rebukes his disciple who thinks hostility should be part of the Christian life.

And you are still missing the point. Jesus rebuked them for having a wrong type of spirit. That is what is happening to you right now.

And I don't agree I've abused any scripture. You on the other hand exhibited a very typical trait, thinking it's what God wants.

I really shake my head.

In summary. Everything that has been recorded in scripture.

God is quite concerned in how we treat one another. If you don't have love, you do not know God. You can claim all you want but The Lord is not with such type of people.

There are many people who actually think they're acting on behalf of God. Christ even said people who kill other think they're doing this for God.

When you say "You Wished..with a lol, that's having a murderous spirit. By right a Christian should not even have such a thought.

I find it's usually the case whenever one who shout so much for obedience, it's perhaps they themselves have problems obeying hence the feeling of the need to defend it.

You should really repent, instead of pointing your finger. You are not qualified. You are not God.

There is a huge difference between of what I meant when I say repentance cannot a be made as a criteria versus suggesting there is no need for repentance.

Try digest that for a moment.

oh... anger management issues

no wonder everyday proud with his so called immune to porn addiction.

well.

Having a judgmental spirit is wrong, and so is sarcasm. Is it right for Christians to be sarcastic? I don't know but is it loving?

Definition.



Not much love there.

I said such traits, is that how God wants?

Now you're talking about being convinced of what God wants.

Is it the same thing?

there is one thing about the disciple though

remember the quote spirit is willing but body is weak?

it remind us that we still have the weakness of flesh even saved. don't be too cocky thinking you have your lust under reign. for you haven't be really tested.

for these years, i have met many Christian like this, act like they have good conduct but their faith is built on sandy ground. it crumble like castle build with sand when the test come. when one being tested and fail the test, it is their lust that defiled them from within.

Look Desmond, If you have eyes to see.

I want the same thing for you. It's not about being cocky.

I'm trying to dispense the way... how you can overcome it by God's way.

See or not?

God's way to overcome lust is effortless.

When you talk about crumbling very easy, that is only because you tried will power.

That cannot work friend. Been there.

And I'll gladly prove you wrong sharpsword. Go ahead, quote me, where did I say in my post? Go ahead.

Still don't get the difference?

I'll prove that you're the one who have issue reading.

you preach a different gospel than what i received

there is no compromise here and there can be no compromise

let just said that if you think you are good with what you have, let just keep it that way. ie whatever float your boat

oh, work on that anger management will you. I sense that it could be weakness that make the whole thing crumble like house of card.

if you have been trying for so many years and it's still not working?

Perhaps you may want to consider Grace as the answer?

Porn is a big issue for many Christians. Me included the last time, what u said is something I understand completely. Not judging, just saying been there.
