Man I love Paul G!! He’s the reason I started gardening. I love how he parallels it with scripture.

Oh thanks for the reply advice. I read the quote and answer as I read. I been struggling trying to figure this thing out again lol. It’s been a while since I been on.

Thanks. Ironically that comment is why I replied. Preciate it. That matchmaking comment was the reason I felt the need to comment. Whether it was a joke or an analogy it just wasn’t sitting right with me lol

When I get thoughts like these I try to change my perspective on life. Instead of feeling I’m wasting my life or feeling that I’m missing out on something great in this life, I shift my focus to the next life. James 4:14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life...

“Of course, the first match He made didn't work out great and now the whole world is suffering for it, so I wouldn't snub anyone for doubting God's matchmaking skills.” I don’t know if this statement is worded correctly. To doubt Gods “matchmaking” skills would be like doubting His infinite...

Gotcha ya. Preciate it

So from my understanding, one of the reasons God placed Adam in the garden was so that Adam could grow closer to God by observing God’s attributes through nature and the garden. Which would teach him more of God’s character through the physical world. I guess it’s easier to understand spiritual...

What's the problem you have with your relationship with God?

Don't blame the entirety of Christianity on bad apples that "shoot the wounded". That's a people problem, not a Christianity problem. If I may ask, in what situation did a person make you feel worse?

Hmmm. Some people need tough love. I need people to tell me something straight up, no sugar coating and no trying to go around my feelings. So the "tough love givers are important". Jesus himself gave very tough love. He called Pharisees hypocrites, snakes, and sons of Satan. He talked bad...

Indeed. But just because we have a disagreement, it doesn't mean I or anyone else doesn't believe what the Bible says. We just disagree on how we interpret what it is saying. Although you would say, it clearly says this or that, then I would point to something else that contradicts that. Its...

I must say, I believe sin is always a failure. Not on God of course, but a failure on Man's part. I do not believe sin is or was apart of God's plans. I believe God knew sin was going to be present and planned for it by activating the promise and principle of causing all things to work for our...

So would you say fighting in God's strength actually means holding on to promises and clinging to God in prayer even in the midst of failures?

Are you saying that a deep sleep was God's eternal plan for Israel, therefore Israel's sin (which caused the deep sleep) wasn't a failure?

So would you consider falling to a besetting sin a failure?

So what happens when I ask for help and I still fail?

How exactly would you say a person is supposed to do something in Christ's strength??

It's a gift because man can not believe or have faith in God without God first seeking the man. Salvation and faith go hand and hand. Salvation is the gift of faith given to the man. It all happens at regeneration when the man is born again and God inserts His spirit within the man. Make sense??
