1 | Why remain defeated? | Heb 10:14 | stjones | 108099 | ||
Greetings, Gal5:16; I probably shouldn't respond because such judgmental, prideful posts always put me in a bad mood. I find messages that purport to tell the reader what he or she is thinking particularly annoying. But a couple of points just cry out for comment: You said "One question I always ask people to which they cannot respond is if perfection is not humanly possible, then how did Jesus do it." I can't imagine who you've been asking; the answer is simple. Jesus was fully God. He was not a human infused by the Holy Spirit as ordinary Christians are. If I'm not mistaken, there hasn't been another since - not me, not you. But as I read the rest of your post, I see that contrary to your initial claims, you too seem to "remain defeated." You do not "claim to perfect." If you are not perfect, then "you do what is sinful." And as John says, "No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him" (1 John 3:6) Unless God has started grading on a curve, you are failing right along with the rest of us miserable sinners. I hope you'll let us know when your knowledge of God's will is perfect every second of every day and your obedience to his will is perfect every second of every day. Until then, I suggest you trust in Jesus to cover your sins - even those you commit today. See? I told you such posts make me grouchy. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |

2 | Why remain defeated? | Heb 10:14 | Makarios | 108153 | ||
Greetings my friend, I appreciate your grouchiness, especially when it comes to such posts that have been made in response to one of mine that is 2 1/2 years old! :-) Rest assured, any sharp post such as this that is written in response to any single one of my posts, new or old, will not go un-responded to as long as I still choose to post. Even so, I still thank you for your response! Blessings to you, Makarios |

Hi, Makarios; I know from past disagreements that I can count on you for a response! ;-) I also know that when you disagree with me, I need to switch to Berean mode; you just might be right. ;-) I wish you a happy and blessed New Year in the Lord. And keep on posting; you usually are right. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |

4 | No greater bond than a common enemy? | Heb 10:14 | Gal5:16 | 108196 | ||
I recall two rulers of Israel that also became friends, after a history of disagreement, when they gained a common enemy. | ||||||
5 | No greater bond than a common enemy? | Heb 10:14 | stjones | 108197 | ||
Excellent! We do indeed have a common enemy. I need to remind myself of that more often. Thanks. -Indy |

6 | Funny thing to take comfort in. | Heb 10:14 | Gal5:16 | 108200 | ||
The only problem is that the enemy of those two rulers was a righteous man. There are consequences - look into it. | ||||||
7 | Funny thing to take comfort in. | Heb 10:14 | stjones | 108205 | ||
Ok, I misunderstood your meaning. I guess this means we aren't friends after all.... -Indy |

Arguing about this any further is pointless. I will close with this, and you are free to have the last word: "Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, which some have professed and in so doing have wandered from the faith. Grace be with you" |
