Have it your way. Enjoy! Much love!

I think you've alluded to something more important still, that being our "triggers". Something unforeseen, contrary, sudden, and we become triggered in the flesh, energized, and we have to be able to quickly recognize that, and de-energize it. Some things trigger me more easily than others...

Agreed! I would add, not just our thoughts, but our feelings also. The more quickly we can become consciously aware that our thoughts have skewed towards the flesh the more quickly we can work to get a handle on them. I find learning to control my words to others is good discipline towards...

James said that if you learn to control your tongue you'll be able to control the rest of your self. So that's a good reason to learn! I've learned that the "internal chatter" can be converted to prayer and fellowship with God. Much love!

I saw it. We went to Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, various times over the years starting in the 70's. I never met Lonnie Frisbie, but I "knew" Pastor Chuck, and Greg Laurie. He'd shared his story a number of times. He'd also written a book about his life. So when my wife and I saw the movie...

I could show you why I think that if you want. I've considered this passage and studied it over many years. Much love!

Are you asking if I'm able to delude myself? Much love!

Love means to take care of others first. I don't know how polite that is. Much love!

Our church as a plexiglass booth for the drummer, it helps a lot!! Our pastor who is over the music ministry is also head of a local college music program, so he knows a lot about this stuff. Much love!

Hi Magenta, I love this song, did you create it? Much love!

Personally I think John writes concerning unbelievers in that passage using inclusive wording. But that aside . . . I've never come across anyone who has shown me that they walk in the Spirit consistently at all times, though I've known some "giants of the faith" and I wouldn't dare think...

I disagree, but hear me out. We do keep God's commandments, those that were given to us. To believe in Jesus, and to love others. We are to keep those commandments. But not just everything God ever told or will tell to others. We're not building arks. We are not leaving Ur of the Chaldeas...

What does that mean? Ephesians 2:3 KJV 3) Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. Much love!

Anyone who states wrong and negative assumptions of others does not do so in the Spirit of Christ. Anyone who makes negative false statements about others does not do so in the Spirit of Christ. Can you accept this truth? Much love!

We live without sin when we are walking in the Spirit. How can we know when we are walking in the Spirit? It's not when we're in the middle of arguing with others, that's for certain. Galatians 5:22-23 KJV 22) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness...

I'm checking to see if your life matches your theology. I already know Christians can live without sin. There are many who vaunt themselves with this kind if innuendo as if they have stopped sinning, I rarely here someone actually saying it though, and go on to lord it over others. No...

Not playing. Deflection. Sorry!

Why are you assuming I don't believe we overcome any and all sins in the Spirit? That IS what you are assuming, right? If this is your testimony, say it clearly. I've seen people use this inuendo sort of writing for years and years. Implying without stating "I no longer sin." And when...

This kind of theology (OP) would have us all building arks waiting for the rain . . . Much love!

I'm not really sure what you are saying here. "believe what you want to believe", is that really faith? I don't see it that way. Believe all things? Like, whatever anyone tells you? I suppose my reply is that we put our trust in God, and learn of Him, to share His yoke, to become like Him...
