Just wondering where else you are going to place that Jack Hammer.....PS....trying to calm a storm are not idol words...however, unnecessary arguing is considered idol words or if you just came to argue then that term is trolling or so I have been told..... Top of Noon Time to you too....Hope your day gets better.

[SUP]34 [/SUP]Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. [SUP]35 [/SUP]One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: [SUP]36 [/SUP]“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
[SUP]37 [/SUP]Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[SUP][c][/SUP] [SUP]38 [/SUP]This is the first and greatest commandment. [SUP]39 [/SUP]And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[SUP][d][/SUP] [SUP]40 [/SUP]All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
And this is only possible when we choose to follow the Holy Spirit and live by the example He is pressing into our hearts. When we walk by the Spirit we don't fulfill the lust of the flesh but it's a daily struggle, until we die or are raptured into heaven we don't experience complete santification on this side, but justification. We try to live sanctified lives though and allow the Holy Spirit to lead us. Any believer has a newfound built in desire to do so, it just has to be constantly nurtured.
