Not By Works

[Magenta]

Although, those who are sometimes called "the workers for salvation" do seem to accuse others often of not doing anything, or saying people believe they can sin all they want because of God's grace, and other such scandalous falsehoods.

You all are missing the point. HE HAD HUMAN EMOTIONS AND THOUGHTS... THAT'S my point.. It's stupid to say that He didn't have human emotions, because He did. HE WAS FULLY HUMAN.. and fully divine as well.

If He lusted He sinned, scripture is clear. Jesus did not sin.

He even said it himself.

Matthew 5:28
27You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ 28But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Night night time for me.
It's amazing to know that Gods mercy is new every morning and his faithfulness is great.
May we walk in the same mercy to each other.

Sleep well my friends.
Those of starting your day, have a blessed day.

Let us all remember.

God loves us as much as he loves Jesus.
Therefore God loves your brother/sister as much as he loves you.

night Bill. To your wife too, blessed night!

I'll bet He envied the prisoner who got set free in His place...

Dear Blue,

Envy is a sin itself....no action required.

 

[Magenta]

Why does He say that HE IS a jealous God? And why, at the end, could God not look upon Him if he was so sinless and unspotted? Because HE WAS SIN, simple and clear. He was spotted, and at the end, He became sin..

Blue, Jesus was MADE sin on our behalf, that He could take the punishment we deserved. I am not really sure of what you are trying to say here. However, the question of God being a jealous God... do you know that the root of the word jealous is closer to the definition of zealous? God is passionate for His people.

 

[blue_ladybug]

Just where do you think sin comes from? And a carnal mindset? HUMAN EMOTIONS and THOUGHTS.

i only spoke against sin
and a carnal mind

never once human emotions....

 

[Magenta]

I'll bet He envied the prisoner who got set free in His place...

I would bet He did not.

"We are not" stirring up conflict "in your club in country club thread", Not bragging by any means.

"Ripping the face off hypocrisy" and the contradictions? yes we are.

You have already revealed your hypocrisy with your angry and condescending remarks
"Mr Wolf in sheep's" clothing. And who is, "We are not"

 

[blue_ladybug]

Yes M, I know why He was made sin.. God may be passionate for His people, but He should also use the proper wordage for it too...

And your own absolute and utterly cowardly silence on this issue would force John MacArthur, Voddie Baucham and even the Late RC Sproul and other leaders you admire and receive from to shun you and your church.

I would rather see the initials BS than to see words like this thrown around to fellow members of the body of Christ.

Ever hear of the Isaiah fast? Is a thus saith the Lord quite strong.

 

[blue_ladybug]

I'm not angry at all. I'm just trying to get you to understand that He DID feel the same temptations, thoughts and emotions as the rest of us humans do..

He was NOT all sweet and light all the time..

i will let magenta speak

please dont be angry

but i do believe you are conflating ideas

even if you dont mean to

 

[UnderGrace]

Agreed and Amen, Jesus was full of love, joy and grace.

I would bet He did not.

 

[posthuman]

Dcon has a fan club? Ooh ooh ooh, can I get an autograph, David?

** liked him before he was cool **

 

[Magenta]

I said He never acted on feelings such as pride, envy, or any of that.

​

I'll bet He envied the prisoner who got set free in His place...

Blue, you seem to be contradicting yourself

 

[UnderGrace]

I agree He had human emotions but not the sinful ones which you have listed like envy and greed which come from our fallen state.

His humanity does not mean He was fallen like us.

You all are missing the point. HE HAD HUMAN EMOTIONS AND THOUGHTS... THAT'S my point.. It's stupid to say that He didn't have human emotions, because He did. HE WAS FULLY HUMAN.. and fully divine as well.

Amen. The sin nature is passed on through Adam. Jesus had no earthly father.

 

[blue_ladybug]

Not at all. It is just MY thought that He did envy the prisoner set free. Maybe He did, maybe not.. Since He was fully divine, He probably didn't.

Blue, you seem to be contradicting yourself

 

[joefizz]

Now if we were talking about Ballet Shoes there is something I can relate too.... and probably would not tire.

Well, Joe Fizz I never new how many BS word pairs there were ....thanks for the enlightenment!!

So is someone should say BS again we have a list to choose from...So Cool

Yep that's part of my walk with God he knows I'm a smart aleck I know I'm a smart aleck and always happy to use said quality for God or for fun!

 

[posthuman]

Take this to a mirror. and read it back to yourself and then take your own advice.

i really think what you said here is what we should all be doing, every time we 'preview post'

Good advice, thanks EG

He probably didn't but you would bet He did? Blue, you need a cookie
