Well put, eklektos. Corin, it is not so much that you fast. What is important is what you do when you fast. For example. All of us sleep at night (may be 8 hours). During the day we eat food every 4 hours. But at night we fast. What do we do when we fast? We sleep! In the morning we break that fast with a "breakfast". Now, Corin, I am not going to argue whether it is a full fast or a half fast depending on whether you woke up in the middle of the night to drink water :-) Well, one thing you can do is to fast and pray. Another thing that is very practical and applicable to us every moment of our live is to "depart from evil" in all our daily situations. Read Isaiah 58 "Why have we fasted," they say, "and You have not seen? Why have we afflicted our souls, and You take no notice?" "In fact, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, And exploit all your laborers. Indeed you fast for strife and debate, And to strike with the fist of wickedness. You will not fast as you do this day, To make your voice heard on high. Is it a fast that I have chosen, A day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush, And to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Would you call this a fast, And an acceptable day to the LORD? "Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, "Here I am." ------------ There is nothing more that I can speak on this... the passage above is so clear! |

5 | why do we sin when sin has no mastery? | Bible general Archive 1 | talmid | 80835 | ||
What then is the hope of the gospel? John 14:30 - I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. So it's possible to reach a point, when we cannot be tempted. |

7 | Is your modern translation corrupt? | Bible general Archive 1 | talmid | 80841 | ||
God will lead us and teach us...the "fallacy" of a translation does not hinder Him. John 14:26 - But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. |

Thanks graceful for writing. I have not quite clearly understood it. Is it this way - I reckon myself dead to sin. Even after I reckon myself I still do active sin! Then I must recognise the sin I have done and repent of it? Hmmm. But that doesn't help me to be free of sin! I still continue to sin. Again, when you said "Jesus Christ's finished work" are you talking about He forgiving us after we have sin? I believe that I will receive forgiveness, but yet I not able to "go and sin no more". How do I acknowledge that liberty? Especially when I don't have that liberty (that I don't sin at all!) |

It's good to hear from you Cyclist! Makes me also glad to see you joy. May God bless you. Cyclist, you wrote abot Gal 5:19-21. Is it true for you that you say honestly..."In my heart, I don't get angry, I don't envy, etc. etc. " You may not practice it outside....but in your heart, how is it with you? Reminds me of a Psalm in which it says somethign like "Let the meditations of my heart be pleasing to you"....Is it so with you dear Cyclist? |

hi itiswritten. I was a bit sad to read what you wrote. You wrote "While we are in the flesh, I do not believe we can walk totally sinless." That was very sad to read. Is it really true? I thought that it is not what is written. Jesus did it! He was in the flesh just like us (Hebrews). He overcame sin in the flesh and became full of grace and truth. It was a life that John says, he could touch and handle. So tangible! Later on Paul, Peter, John all came to that kind of a life. The life of Jesus...the we stop from sinning. I was hoping that I would meet people here who also experience this power in their daily life, so that I could learn from them. |

Dear John. I was reading that portion from 1 John. It was good! Thanks for sharing! I also wish that my joy may be full. Verse 6 says "If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth" So if we sin, we are in darkness....a pathetic place to be.... But the next verse is a mystery! "But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin." So if we walk in the light (ie, without committing sin), then Jesus will cleanse us from all sin that is inside us. So that we can be free of committing "active sin" (i read this word earlier). Verse 10 - yes I have commited sin in the past. If I deny that, then I make God a liar, and say that I don't need any salvation....there is nothing wrong with me......no no...i won't do that! I know the things wrong with me. Verse 8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." This is very true. I know that there is sin within me, trying to manifest itself when I am tempted. I may, for instance, be in comma. I may not do anything externally. But I have the potential to commit sin, when I come out of the comma. Something like, if I get the right opportunity i have the potential to sin. I hope that God will give me more light and help me to live a life without any sin...absolutely nothing. I long for that life. |

14 | The meaning of the word Akador | Deut 13:3 | talmid | 156896 | ||
I see that people have been rather nasty to that question :-) Well, when we begin our spiritual life, not every thought we think are like Christ's. So often we're tempted to believe that something that came across us suddenly or by impulse is from God. On the contrary, God wants us to be exercised in obeying Him. Obedience to His Word will lead to more and more understanding....and it leads to more maturity. It's a growth and a progression. More and more we get to understand what is of God and what is not of God, what is pleasing to Him, etc. So please don't be caught up by your dream.... Move on, there is plenty in store. | ||||||
15 | self-righteous and Truth | Prov 21:2 | talmid | 156388 | ||
When I hold fast on to what I think is right, then it is my self righteousness that drives it. What is right according to God may be different from what I think is right. It takes diligent heart to seek, learn and become experienced in knowing what God's righteousness is. | ||||||
16 | self-righteous and Truth | Prov 21:2 | talmid | 156394 | ||
I would like to add to that from Heb 8:11. Many would have experienced that God teaches us? If we "see" something which is wrong in others, we must have faith that the same God who teaches me can teach them too. It is God's business to judge and not ours. The best intentions of man (this itch to correct others), are often full of folly. | ||||||
17 | self-righteous and Truth | Prov 21:2 | talmid | 156566 | ||
Yes that verse in 1Cor 2:15 is really true. But I really need to judge myself to see whether I am really spiritual. The journey from being carnal to being spiritual is a long journey and it will help if I don't judge others and work on my own life. Along the way in matters where I have become spiritual, I will be able to judge with clarity. But in other matters I need the humility to go to God for help for myself. | ||||||
18 | where does sin begin, heart or mind? | Matt 5:27 | talmid | 157002 | ||
James 1:14,15 - but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. Heart and Mind mean the same. Also, Salvation begins with the forgiveness of sin. It is a work begun by God in our life, which He will complete as time goes by (through various trials, faith, obedience) Philippians 1:5-7 |
