And still you lie!
Putting words in my mouth - again!
Pleeeeaaase point out to me where I said Paul was always sinning and couldn't help it?
Whatever gymnastics you are using to explain away the clear message of Paul's words don't wash with me.
I think that you are so caught up in your deception that you will tell any lie to justify yourself!
Very sad.
This is an odd accusation. The response is saying Paul is walking in the Spirit, in righteousness,
purity and holiness.
If one is saying Paul is teaching compromise with sin is ok, and giving into evil and sinful behaviour
is a natural spiritual state, then it is fair to say, Paul appears not to be teaching this.
So calling someone a liar, and then claiming they are saying something wrong is not actually participating
in a discussion but slandering someone with evil intent and being deceptive.
Now it truth, this may well be what you are feeling, I can understand this after witnessing to
non-believers, once you prove your point, they have a dilemma, accept the truth or live with
a lie but ignore it, because the emotional implications are too hard to cope with.
This is called cognitive dissonance.
I have seen it used in many arenas, but this is one that is very applicable. I was once struck
by this very problem, when faced with sexual desire verses Jesus's word. Thankfully over time,
Jesus has won over. The problem is being honest about desire within, and how life changing it
is. Imagine on the power of this feeling people leave home, give up jobs, do impossible things
because of a bond they have with someone formed only over a few months. This is no idle power
or challenge but a true foundational reality of our existance.
But we have to choose. Is Jesus God the creator, and are our emotions subject to His authority
or do they enslave us beyond our control? It strikes me for many, they are enslaved beyond the
Lord, and their faith has been totally flawed. And once in this place, will they ever get back?
