1 | Suffering for Christ's sake | Col 1:24 | tomn | 45770 | ||
Cheryl, having two kinds of suffering is what you think makes it odd? I agree that your friend can't honestly include the suffering in what happened in that for Christ, unless her faith had something to do with what happened, but she can include the suffering of continuing to deal with it in col.1:24, if she does it because of Christ. Do you think she is doomed because she can't include it that way and so must deal with it as with the other evils you mentioned? I agree about avoiding evil ,but I don't agree with your solution, because you say it is an infatuation and so could go like it came. As shown by his wanting to stay with her. Trust can be restored. Are you saying she can cut her losses if it is included in Christ? I don't agree with how to deal with personal injury. I agree that accepting reality is better. However it is only by God's grace that we do it and see how to make the best of it. So then the cause of the suffering may not be holy but our dealing with that suffering will be as holy as we are mature in becoming like Jesus. So then all suffering is holy to some degree. But for what ever is not holy, we need to remember that the anger of man does not work the rightousness of God. Did you see post#45077 by biynah and #45087 by tim? |

3 | tomn, what is "suffering" and "holy"? | Col 1:24 | tomn | 45942 | ||
I would go with the common idea of suffering and holy. Which means suffering is holy when it is done for a holy reason or in a holy way. Such as what we endure to bring and witness the Gospel of Salvation of us from Hell by the work of Jesus Christ as our living Lord and Savior today. | ||||||

Love is the spirit of God's Mind and of Christ's mind. Philippians 2:5, John 15:9 and Matthew 22:36-40. And both, since Love is the Holy spirit of God's mind and of Christ's mind: Ronans 5:5, and since as God is Love and God is Holy, so Love is Holy and Holy is Love, then Holiness is to be in Love, or wholly loving, and to be holy is to be loving or to be in whole Love. In effect, holiness is what we have and who we are when we obey the first 2 Great commands or Laws of God which are to love Him and our neighbors as ourselves by loving ourselves as Him and our neighbors. Matthew 22:36-40. So true enough, when we are holy or in holiness like God is holy is when we are in Love like He is! And that is why Love is what sets us apart, what sanctifies us, which is what holy means: to be set apart of special use: as The disciples of Christ. John 13:35 So when we are in Love, we are holy as God is Holy and as HOW he calls on us to be! Leviticus 11:44-45 and 1 Peter 1:15-22, especially verses 17 and 22. Then because God is Holy so that wherever God is IS holy, Exodus 3:5, and because God is Love, 1 John 4:8, when we are full of holy Love, the Holy God is living in us and so we become doubly holy, and when we are in Love, we are living IN Him and In His Holy Love, and so are doubly holy again! 1 John 4:16 And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by observation and by experience) and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the Love God cherishes for us. God is Love, and he who dwells and continues in Love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in him. Hope that helps. Love and Respect, Giam |
