Question?

[shazeep]

yes, pastor; people in poor, oil rich countries die every day so that you can buy gas; but that is of the least of our collective sins. I forgive you. If/when you can demonstrate anyone here having left any unwavering truth, I'll be happy to weep with you.

[AR Pastor]

You forgive me???


Really???

[shazeep]

yes--but i merely must breathe the fouler air
you wanna take a shot at some of those other rhetoricals? Be my guest!

If anybody has a besetting sin, they need to fix it right now...today. They have power to end it because Jesus has set them free.

[shazeep]

Well, sounds good, it really does--but...never mind

I am sorry sir or ma'am what ever the case may be, but you make no since to me.

hmm, seems like 'shaz' would have been a lot quicker to type?
perhaps those were not for you then...

All I am saying is we ALL are free. When we fall into sin we just dont realize we are and can walk away from it whenever we want. It does not even take fasting and prayer so to speak.

If any sin approaches our eyes or thoughts, just tell yourself at that moment...."it is UNNATURAL" for me to commit this sin. I am free, I am DEAD to sin"....If you practice that statement every time you get tempted, the Holy Ghost will EMPOWER you at that moment.

Try it for 2 weeks, you will see what I mean. (Do it every time sin approaches you and you will notice these sins dropping off(losing power over you) and Satan will flee.)

Yes indeed. We can be set free from fleshly sins that beset us. He who the SON sets free is free indeed.

However, it is the little foxes that spoil the vine though... the things in our hearts that may not be so obvious as an outward fleshly sin, that need to be dealt with on a daily basis. Loving your neighbor as you love yourself, is one that will probably need to be worked on... on a daily basis. Especially if your neighbor is not so lovable.

The key to it all is to STAY ON THE CROSS.....dont even come off of it for a day.
