Malachi 2:2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
Romans 12:14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Luke 6:28 bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

At Pentecost, where the disciples alive in flesh or dead in flesh held alive by the Holy Spirit of God? Why did they have to wait for the indwelling? they knew the truth, Jesus after resurrection held out with them for forty days and told them why all these things came to be.
Do you not think you, we need to wait to recieve from God this same gift to tell truth as it is truth, he died for the sins of us all, today is the day to beleive and receive new life in the resurrected Christ and do as God did through Son , you think? Is it a free gift from God or not?

There is a difference in flesh works and Spirit works of God through one's flesh Sister, is that agreed upon?
Galatians 4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

Our separate views of "flesh" is almost funny, we are both right. You see it as a human spirit who wants behavior contrary to God, and you are right. I see it as a body that can contain the spirit of God, that can act in obedience to God through that spirit, that can be obedient and love Christ. I think of the world that God created, the wonders of the world He created, and how our actions can be an expression of those wonders of the spirit, for instance when we love God.
I think of my body as the temple of God, of being cleansed by God and made whole through Christ when I go to Him. I realize I am born in sin through Adam, I always need Christ, there is such joy in knowing of the grace and cleansing that means.

Keeping in mind that no kind of work is involved in justification,
for justification is to be declared rightwise with God; i.e., guiltless, righteous, right standing before him,
because one's sin has been forgiven--through faith alone, which saves from the wrath of God on sin.
Salvation is the forgiveness of sin (Lk 1:77), through faith alone, which justifies.

It is a simple , clear Bible fact, that with out the resurrection power of God converting the sinful heart of the sinner, we could never see one soul saved. Salvation is of The LORD. Therefore ,EVERY time we witness, WE must WAIT for the act of GOD to save, convert, the sinner we are talking to. I witness to many, I am an evangelist, and EVERY time, before praying the SINNER'S prayer, I ASK, has GOD make this clear to you, Is GOD moving you to receive Christ into Your life To save you and Rule over you as your LORD? I ask them to repeat it to me, (if time permits) on a jeepee, I don't have time or the freedom, to do all this; But, I can ,(in two minutes) explain, repent, trust and obey JESUS. Because only converted, good people go to heaven. This is what the BIBLE teaches, only the righteous are saved. This is what Rom. 1,2,6,7,8, teaches; only sanctified ,holy people go to Heaven. If you can not agree, don't witness to anyone , because you will seal them in their sin and to Hell. What is in your life, your living, is explainable only by God's work of power and mercy in you? And don't said that all I am commanded to do, I don't ready do it, God does it for me. This is the old Gnosticism, that the Bible condemns as heresy. My living in the power of God is not the same as God doing it thru me. God does His part and I do my part by the Grace, power and love, of God. WE are worker with God. Love to all, Hoffco

You people just don't know God. God saves! Faith does not save.Works do not save. We are dead. dead man to nothing, until God makes us seek Him. Jesus came to seek and SAVE sinners. We do not seek God until God seeks us, and motivates us to seek Him. God uses us to motivate sinners, But in the end , all the glory go to God who saves us. With out the Baptism of the Spirit we could never be saved. Without the heart circumcision of the Spirit we would never be saved. Of course, sal. is not of works, sal. is UNTO good works. and "without holiness", no one will be "saved." I trust in Christ's righteousness and not my own, then I seek to be perfected by my works, working by faith, thur grace, that believes God is "a rewarder of all who diligently see Him." I am not talking of justification ,but of sanctification. with a little touch of justification mixed in; sanctification is what we "feel" "experience" ; justification is what we accept by faith and work out in good deeds. We can not know Justification, for sure, with out experiencing the new birth first and the continual grouth in sanctification. Sal. is a living relationship with God in Jesus. You teach a sal. without the living relationship. no such thing.! 1Jh. totally condemns your sal. by "faith only" so does James 2:24. Love to all, Hoffco
Yes, coming from as body here on earth that is unredeemed, seeing what Paul is trying to tel, us about this fight is about flesh wanting its own way.
All, you seem to ever say to Hoffco is he is confused. mWhen we all are in and to some extent or another, and we all have truths to tell to each other
Galatians 4:29 At that time the son born according to the flesh persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now.
Galatians 5:16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh
This is just what I see and how this changed me, God revealing this to me as God has revealed much to you too and Hoffco as well
Not protecting anyone here, and not condemning either with "You are confused" Praying you get it Sister
