Do you know where the saints walk in the Spirit?

Love is not a strawman. Love is commanded by God. If we don't love then we stumble over Jesus Christ who came to Earth because of love.

Jesus came preaching the gospel of the kingdom. It would seem logical to become familiar with "kingdom logic" so as to better understand the terms of our own judgment. This may well be the topic of another thread. I find that there are few if any that are conversant about kingdom principles...

Please do share your view. Not for the sake of hatred from others but in spite of it. :) The thread is about stumbling over who Jesus really is.

The opposite of love is not hate...it is indifference or fear. All love (if it's real) has hate in it. We hate that which hurts what we love. Otherwise we would be indifferent towards what we love. So our motive for hating must be love. We hate that which destroys love. We are to love the...

The problem is that you see hate as something that's always bad. Can't we afford one post that promotes holiness...on a Christian chat? We aren't to hate from the flesh...but from the Spirit. Again..not from the flesh... We are to speak the truth in love. Some people only see the word...

We are to love what God loves and hate what He hates. Many will try to manipulate spiritual Christians by getting them to love their flesh...exactly what God hates. So then these manipulators will call spiritual people...haters....since they identify with their flesh. So we must be wise in...

Is. 8:4 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. 16 Bind up the...

1 Peter 7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto...

Jesus walked in the flesh just as we do. No difference. He left His station in heaven to become as us in order to pave the way for a people (His body) to also walk as He walked. The God aspect of Jesus regenerates us so that we love what God loves. But the victory is in His human aspect. He...

God has ordained that in every situation there is an advantage. A person who does not measure up to what society deems as beautiful, smart, or interesting can be found to have all these attributes but more deeply from within. A person with outward disadvantages has inner advantages. One must...

Amen. If we sow to the Spirit we will reap life from the Spirit.

Complete surrender to God. Offering all to Him as a living sacrifice.

To avoid crashes on the spiritual plane we think then! :eek:

The truth is as a wheel within a wheel. Just when we think we understand something...there is something deeper going on. There is something we see and something we don't see. There is a whole world that is invisible to us. The spiritual world is the inner wheel; it is invisible. The outer wheel...

I forgot to add the in my little story that the anchor for us is Christ. It is attached to the belt of truth. He gives us the strength to hold the line. Also it is no wonder that it is Peter that mentions the need for arete. If we can remember that although Peter professed love for Jesus and...

The Greek word for virtue is indeed "arete". It means manly courage. The Greeks worshipped this quality for it is the quality of a warrior. Achilles, the great hero of the Iliad was seen as the ultimate in arete. This quality was also seen in Leonidas who headed up the 300 Spartans at...

The true church has always been as you say. But this church has no name (other than the body of Jesus Christ) and is not organized by men. It is simply the love between brethren in the Lord. It is the Lord's presence in our midst. It is they who are led by the Spirit. Men can't organize that any...

It means deliverance. The Greek sodzo means anything from a bodily healing to a spiritual deliverance. When Jesus speaks of salvation is means coming out of bondage into freedom...and from darkness into light.

Man, that hurts! :ROFL:
