The commentator lost me at, "If I were the devil..."

We are crucified with Christ, it is no longer we who live but Christ Who lives is us. As much as some people would like to play devil's advocate, Jesus didn't play that. We walk in the Spirit of Jesus Christ. We walk in the faith of Jesus Christ.

Jesus said, "Come, follow Me." The Lord wants our eyes focused on Him alone.

Isaiah said, "For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed." Isaiah wasn't taking his focus off the LORD.

King David said in Psalms, "To You I lift up my eyes, O You who are enthroned in the heavens!"

And in Proverbs it reads, "Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil."

Nowhere does the LORD tell us to focus on the devil. It does say be careful that you don't listen to his voice or believe his lies. That's it. The angels didn't play devil's advocate and they didn't dialogue with the devil either. The Bible said they just say, "The LORD rebuke you." That's it.

Jesus said, "Get behind me, Satan." or "Get out of that person, unclean spirit." And that was the end of it. No other dialogue and no other commentary.

Love ya, Violet, but I think you missed the whole point of Paul's comments.

Aaaaah, safe in the Speak Your Mind thread. Getting here through the BDF is like running through a firing range to get to the bunker.

Willie showing humility again. I would say that you did something right that God gave you the right woman.

As you know, I got rid of my Blazer a few days ago. Well, I have to put plug wires and distributor cap on it in the morn, and check the A/C leak for granddaughter tomorrow. Brought it over a few minutes ago so it will be cool to work on tomorrow morn. I'm going to have to find another one. I just like that little car. :(

Honestly NOT trying to be humble. (That's not really in my nature.) My past is so much beneath the level she has always lived life, that it is close to unbelievable. I think the reason God put us together was for her to keep me from completely screwing up my life.

I just think it is really sweet that you have such admiration for her and that is rare to see in today's marriages. What a wonderful example you are to the rest of us that want to have that mindset of admiring your loved one.

Thank you, dearest bro, Willie! :D ♥ I understood his point. Mr. Harvey was awesome to listen to sometimes. I'm just not a Glenn Beck fan. I personally don't recommend using the devil allegorically to make a point. I suppose being around the occult when I was young taught me not to give any more credence to the devil. Praise the Lord! :)
