As you have forgiven your wife english, she can forgive your philippine language too.
We have too many languages in the philippines that made me to think;
That maybe most of the workers at the tower of babel were from philippines. LOL
Thank you it was because and said about world war three as posted and answered to
dcontroversal
Anyway, Was never meant to stir up anyone's flesh it is what it is, and I do not see me as walking in the flesh, over that or accusing anyone of that, yet I am looking to it and asking God to show me, I know I had no intention of what you are thinking, as you posted it here
Apologizing for anything of my unredeemed flesh that I reckon dead, Thanks for the post Brother in getting me to look and see carefully as we are all doing here, trying to understand truth over error, and walk in God's type of love, 1Cor. 13:4-13
Thank you Hoffco, My only intention is to help. Ans it is a misread as to anti-works. I am am only trying to show the difference in self-works and God's work
Anti-works in and of flesh is what I am seeing to be against: Paul who was Saul did works of the law righteously
[h=3]Philippians 3:1-11[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
3 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. [SUP]2 [/SUP]Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. [SUP]3 [/SUP]For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. [SUP]4 [/SUP]Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: [SUP]5 [/SUP]circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; [SUP]6 [/SUP]concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. [SUP]7 [/SUP]But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. [SUP]8 [/SUP]Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, [SUP]9 [/SUP]and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: [SUP]10 [/SUP]that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; [SUP]11 [/SUP]if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
Hopefully the above verses will show you what I mean about anti-works of the flesh and the works of the Spirit,
Thank you and oh yes I am guilty of sin as anyone else and am thankful for God's provision through son in appreciation every day, not ever wanting to take it for an excuse for to sin, trusting God to teach how to live above the circumstances of unredeemed flesh, by reckoning it dead daily with Christ's death and alive daily by God in the Spirit of God, where n0o sin c an ever occur in the Spirit of God since all sin has and is condemned to flesh as done by Christ at the cross
Romans 8:3
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Motive is what will be revealed all in God's timing, not ours and God is our teacher to truth that sets one free in love to all, no condemnation as if I am right and you are wrong. We all have our truths as we see it from maybe a different angle view than the other, and we each are worth listening to, since God is our teacher and God is the one that gives the increase and causes us that beleive to stand
Romans 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
1 Corinthians 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
God is the one that causes us to stand by Faith and we thus stand as a mighty oak tree in humility, that once was a small but that stood its ground
Lots of learning from each other as long as we always sift everything through the inner man of our hearts
[h=3]Hebrews 8:11[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
[SUP]11 [/SUP]and they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
Welcome and am ready to be corrected anytime I walk in flesh as if I am better than any other for I know I am not, since all are guilty of sin no matter how big or small, and sin caused death period. Which is why I am thankful to God and Christ for the provision of, a get out of prison card, and appreciate this as a response in thanksgiving and praises to Father and
Christ for the gift of new life to walk by in the Spirit of God alone. Learning the difference daily as God causes me to grow and stand.
What we believe is totally irrelevant, because at the end of the day it is not about our opinions, ideas, thoughts, intents, beliefs etc. as all that matters is....
What does the bible say as it is the rule of faith and practice and if the above bolded do not jive with what God said then the above bolded are in vain and contrary to the forever settled, tried and tested word of the GOD.

Homward thanks for post 429, it is the clearest of your last three posts, # 425 & 427 were very confusing. But even in # 429 I MAY see the seed of the error of your thinking. correct me, if I am wrong. For one thing: I think your thoughts run together and make your statements confusing.??? I won't get into what was confusing, as that leads to more confusion. LOL. But, the error in your theology is: you think one can get to the place where ones does not act anymore, But lets Jesus do our living through us. You get to become a puppet for God to live through. This, to me is a very wrong error, to,"let go and let God" do my living. That is a passivity that, in my thinking, is foreign to the Bible. To me, this is totally irresponsible , because God commands US to "be holy as I am holy" and we are told,"I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me". and "work out your own salvation". Love to all, HGoffco

We can stroll the streets of gold and talk about our good times on the internet.
No doubt to all of what you have said and I most definitely believe that we are about out of time as (the night is far spent) and the end of the age seems to be around the corner......too bad for humanity (lost humanity that is)...you know I look forward to the following...
1. Bowing before Jesus and being able to acknowledge Him in a glorified body without seeking forgiveness for the sins that I have committed.
2. Having a complete understanding of the truth
3. Meeting my dad who was killed when I was three..as well as other family members that were saved
4. Never getting sick again and or no pain/tears
5. Seeing my broken son in a new glorified body
6. The eternal ages of grace and being able to sit under my own vine
Just to name a few.....
Can't wait to drink the vintage wines with ya all.
[[Isa 25:6]] ISV “On this mountain, the Lord of the Heavenly Armies will prepare for all peoples a banquet of rich food, a banquet of well-aged wines— rich food full of marrow, and refined wines of the finest vintage

Can you imagine...when the children of Israel sent the spies into the land it took two men and a pole between them to carry one cluster of Grapes back with them.....talk about a harvest when Jesus rules and the reapers overtakes the planters as the earth is blessed by Jesus and yields fruit like we cannot even imagine...instead of triple 13 it would be like triple 10000000 fertilizer haahahh
No....I had perceptions about what he looked like, but was wrong...I have dark brown hair and eyes and my younger brother has blue eyes and blonde hair and I always perceived he was like my brother...got pictures like when I was 18 from my grandparents on his side and corrected me in my view....wasn't allowed to go to the funeral and only been to his grave once...
