"I love you so much that I will let you keep your deception because it makes my flesh feel good getting all the accolades about how about what a fair and unbiased guy I am, regardless of your spiritual condition or anyone else's, or the truth of G-d's Word." = the lust of the flesh and the pride of life, two of the three things that brought death in the garden.
The way out of the garden is the way back in (if overcome) so it would follow that overcoming would be the most beneficial. Peace

Overcoming isn't the problem, remaining in bondage is.
There is NOTHING in the Word that contradicts itself. When it APPEARS to, it's because you don't know the spiritual principle behind what is written, or it's out of context. Peace
You can rely on your doctrines oif men, I will rely on the Spirit Jesus promised AS DESCRIBED by Jesus.

Although we cannot totally change our nature, we may in great measure correct it through reflection and philosophy.
However, religious-bondage serves no purpose, other than to keep you in chains of darkness while eliminating growth.
Stop it, Finn. You KNOW that 1 Cor 13, Galatians 5 and the Sermon on the Mount CLEARLY describe the Spirit of agape love and its importance to God. Those descriptions are all you need to know what is of the Spirit and therefore of God and what is NOT! WHY do you ignore them and test nothing in the Bible against them????

I said nothing about what you believe or don't believe, let alone lie about it. I told you to stop lying about nate by claiming he get his guidance from some blog instead of the Spirit CLEARLY DESCRIBED in those verses. there is NO CONFU?SION about what IS and what IS NOT of the Spirit when those verses are READ and FOLLOWED! Why do people accept what is in the Bible without TESTING the Spirit against those verses????

Don't try to pound people on the head with 1 Cor 13, Galatians 5 and the Sermon on the Mount, you should apply it to your OWN daily life.
I DO, Finn, every day. Can you say the same?? I test EVERYTHING that is claimed about God and Jesus against those verses. We are supposed to beat each other over the head with them because THEY are the standard of God's TRUTH.

See! How can you have read what I have posted to you and still pretend that the standard is "whatever sounds good and agreeable with our views"???? The standard is the verses you say I am beating you over the head with. THEY come from Jesus, NOT "whatever sounds good and is agreeable with my views."

Remember that the tempter wants people to think certain things are right, when that are actually wrong.
From where I sit, he has succeeded with the MAJORITY of Christians who ignore those verses and test nothing because they believe the anti-Christ apostate dogma in the "precepts and doctrines of men" as prophesied for these latter days.

Temptation comes from within, not from that which is external.
In other words, it's the lust and pride that comes from you.
I said nothing about what you believe or don't believe, let alone lie about it.
You claimed I ignore the verses which you mentioned, which is a complete lie. Unfortunately such claims is pretty much the par of the course with you, which is why I ignore your posts most of the time. Your posts are designed to misrepresent other people, and it is very unpleasant.
