No I did not decide I wanted my will. There is an inbetween place where we start to use our own understanding instead of trusting entirely in His. It is not hard to do. It was not a slip into sin as such. I believed I was free from sin because He gave me that assurance from the Holy Spirit. In myself I knew/know that I am a miserable wretch without His grace and that I can only stand through His grace. I have no illusions about myself or lift myself above others. Many more have been much more faithful than me. I do not deserve His grace at all. No worries about calling me bro.

There is always more to know about God. Thats why we get to spend eternity with Him....it will take that long to get to know Him!

If this is true, what's with this heavy lifting of self? Why do you come here to state the discussion of others is nowhere and without purpose? I have been finding truth and purpose. Do you perhaps need to sew up one side of your mouth?
True but I have been a most unprofitable servant whereas others have been much more faithful than me.
I have witnessed anger and insults in the discussion whereas we have been instructed to patiently teach those who err.
Well Jesus did say that after we have done all that we can for the cause of Christ to consider ourselves to be lowly servants only doing those things we have been commanded to do!
No I really do know I have been much worse than others regarding backsliding.

I know I'm not angry, as calm as can be. Just cut to the chase. What part of the discussion is it you want to shutdown? Why do I have a hunch you don't like seeing a spade called a spade? You'd freak out, if the rebuke of lies and false prophets took on Biblical vernacular.
Make no mistake.....we have all failed in some form or fashion......I, like Paul, am one of the chief sinners in God's kingdom....I am unworthy of the least of his mercies and regularly beg him to make me one of the greatest examples of his mercy.
Those who say they are not sinning, and I agree with you that they are fooling themselves as they call sins of ignorance, non sins, are not going to listen if they are hammered down on and made fun of. If they are being deceived then they need the truth to be spoken with humility and love. They are not in a position of teaching others their errors as far as we know so do not need harshness.
The Lord brought me to a point one day when I saw my anger towards Him was due to not walking in the Spirit and reaping the fruit of the flesh was my own fault. But He showed me how to get out of that bondage so that I could know that He was pleased with His lowly servant.

Some people on CC remind me of a dog we had when I was a kid.
We had to wack him on the head to get his attention before he would listen to you.
Don't know if he was deaf or just stupid?

Again, I've never gone Biblical and no nonsense in these matters of deception, but you need to speak for yourself, as I'm not going to be an apologist for damnable doctrines. You don't like it, put me on ignore, but do not think I'm, for a minute, going to be politically correct or hop in the boat to hell, singing kumbaya. You don't like it, put me on ignore, find another thread, but nobody elected you the discourse police.

Did't abuse him, just got his attention so he would learn proper behavior.
Some people are like that.

When have I done that? You're the one who deigned to come here to say the postings of people here are nowhere and without purpose. Pot calling the kettle black? Are you on control patrol? And I replied to you, that your opinion the postings of others, which contain actual truth, are nowhere and without purpose is an opinion that sucks eggs. That you talk out of two sides of your mouth, that you've arrived from on high to put an end to the conservation of no purpose, then, out of the other side of your mouth, you're just a humble little man: that dog don't hunt.
