I believe tempers come in various forms such as those you described. I also believe that when we give ourselves over to the flesh,,carnal thoughts and actions, just by this very nature, come out. It means we haven't 'really' put on the mind of Christ yet. We are being worked on, and worked through, but the 'new creation' isn't fully developed. Once the indwelling occurs, I believe the fleshly desires, with it's thoughts and actions will cease to exist. Some have been able to do this journey into the Spirit quite well. Others, like myself, have had struggles. When I let it all go, and let God, then things come quite easily. I have this profound patience, this quiet demeanor, and I feel the Spirit moving through my soul. Then I, like Peter, question this faith and rely on my 'old man' instincts, and then all hell breaks loose.
Only God can do this. We just need to give it all to Him,,,FIRST. How many have really, REALLY, done this. Out of our love for Him, and His Son, wholly submit to His reign? The King is coming,,,the King is HERE! Can we 'see' Him, and can we 'hear' Him? Only when He opens the ears and eyes do we truly behold His beauty in our lives.
PS. I started a new job driving truck, so I haven't been around lately as I am in training. I have the next few days off though, so it is time to catch up a little bit. Missed you all!!
Good to see you Hot . . . since you were here last C34 has passed and gone to be with the Lord.
When this happens, it's a time to ask God to help us release and let go of all negative things and bring to us peace and comfort and His Love and the ability to handle the difficulties in our lives. Blessings.
You ask the champion of temper tantrums for help? The god that murdered 99.99999% of all life on the planet during one of his.
Makes about as much sense as asking a crack addict how to quit smoking.

That is so sad you have that false belief. I have no idea where you're even coming up with such nonsense. God has never murdered any of His children as we are all loved by Him immensely.
If someone passes into the next world as a result of the laws of nature, that isn't murder. Keeping in mind that we are spiritual beings and our spirit body (along with our soul inside of us), just moves from this world to the next. Just because our physical body ceases to exist, doesn't mean that we no longer exist for we are as alive as ever as spirits.
So take heart that when someone "dies" as a result of a hurricane, earthquake, tsunami, or any other natural occurrence... this is not murder or killing. And, further, when we know that at any time "death" comes to our loved ones, or any other of God's children, their spirit life begins anew and, therefore, our grief should be minimal.

Thank you all for your participation.
Hot you always have great insight.
Who are you working for? I just left Swift about 3 months ago.

Well I actually agree, for god cannot do anything. Your god couldn't kill a gnat for the simple reason that while the gnat is real, there are no gods.
But I based my point on the fables from your ancient superstition. The flood and the big boat come to mind, 99.99999% (approximately) of ALL life on the planet, in one such shall we say tall tale?

ah yes, gods warning, do as I say.... yadda yadda.... <echo on> or else </echo off> ....... Just the atypical fear mongering that is religion. Do this, say that, gimmy 10% of your money, don't do that <echo on> or else </echo off> fear mongering.
That would be like finding yourself being robbed at gun point, and when you refuse to give them your money, they shoot and kill you......... but it's not their fault for YOU didn't follow instructions........ making it your fault.......

I am training with FFE out of Landcaster Tx. Have 3 weeks to go, and then assigned a truck,,finally. But I got blessed with a great trainer who also is a truthseeker like myself, so the conversations are quite interesting.
He believes in the fallen angels out of Enoch. I have heard alot about these from Mike and others, so I am going to check it out and see if the Spirit leads me somewhere with it. You have anything on this?
Does this mean you are a follower of Christ now?!!! No way!!! I'm so happy for you Christy!!
Allen...I've always been a FOLLOWER of the Christ even when you condemn me as a "New Ager"...but I do actually FOLLOW the path he taught us and laid out for us to FOLLOW...perhaps you should give it a try.

Well, I do agree there are no "gods"... 'cause I know there is only ONE.
I don't believe in superstitions. So get ready for this one... the flood and the big boat wasn't such a big deal after all... another embellished whopper by who knows who that wrote that story in the bible.
I'm not saying babies or anyone else deserve it... but that it happens, such is life. We're not destined to live here forever. Earth is not our permanent home.
And, by the way, I don't pay one penny to any church... my church is God and He is free of charge.
Huh, maybe you need a chill pill. Blessings.
