Went to the Lake this morning. Beautiful morning (for several days now), but the fishing was very slow AGAIN! Hmm..... Needed to figure out what the problem was, so I thunk on it awhile, and finally realized:
I'M TOO SEXY TO CATCH FISH
Ole Dan don't have that problem though...….

Da Blond walked into her local Library and slammed down the book she was returning on the counter. In a disgusted voice stated: "This is the worst book I have ever read! There are thousands of characters, and no Story Plot whatsoever!" The lady behind the counter responded: "So, your the one who took our Phone Book."

So when did I write that post? 2012 or 13? I do stand by it. I'm just quoting the Bible and the Greek!
"Therefore I exhort you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a sacrifice—alive, holy, and pleasing to God—which is your reasonable service. 2 Do not be conformed to this present world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may test and approve what is the will of God—what is good and well-pleasing and perfect." Romans 12:1-2
The word, "transformed" in Greek is μεταμορφοῦσθε or metamorphousthe. It is in the passive imperative. (2nd person plural) it is a divine imperative. It is God commanding us to be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
One word for "live" in Greek is περιπάτεω, which also means "walk." So, when you live for Jesus, you must walk with him. When you are walking with him, you are living for him. For example:
"For God achieved what the law could not do because it was weakened through the flesh. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 so that the righteous requirement of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit." Romans 8:3-4
Here, God expects us to walk according to the Spirit.It also means to "conduct one's life, behave, comport oneself. And we walk with God, that is what happens. I could do probably 50 more easy examples, but you are not open to learning the truth of God's plan and expectations for us. Your loss! Unless you are in a cult, and you want to leave. Send me a pm and then we can talk.
You must have a very sterile and depressing kind of Christianity, that does not allow you have a vibrant and LIVE or (living!) relationship with God. I'm so sorry, that you do not understand the power of the Word of God, in transforming and changing us into his image. One day, maybe you will understand the importance of walking with Christ, and how the Holy Spirit transforms and conforms us to the ways and will of God, as described in the Bible!
"because those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters." Romans 8:29

PSALM, CHAPTER 121:
1 (A Song of degrees.) I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand
.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
I love this Psalm...….and depend on it's Truth!
