Whyme

So its the work of the Spirit. Whats your point? Thank you.

Look bro, im asking for a whole translation of the complete verse. Its not too much to ask.. We could clear this up easy if i only had a verse to work with. You say the English translations are wrong. Give me what you consider to be an accurate translation.

You dont need to forgive. The Lord says i can ask 70 times seven and my brother should forgive. The Lord wasn't looking for change, just a contrite heart. But he wasn't looking for perfection.,

@Josheb Im not seeing how reading an interlinear changes my mind. The website you gave me has greek verses, and English. You will have to guide me through what you are saying. What words do you want me to focus on?

Whats the distinction?

No you are good, no worries.

You gave me a translation for verse 6, but i was quoting verse 5.

Isnt proof texting the same as cherry picking? And not using the context of a verse or taking it out of context? Yes i know what it is. But i didnt do that. Now if you want to give me a translation, i'll read it. Give me a minute to read your link.

I agree, thats why i asked if it was an abuse of power.

Yes.

If im not mistaken, Kerry told the Iranians after the fact. Kerry wasn't trying to protect family.

Is that an abuse of power?

I didnt prooftext, i gave an interpretation based on the English translations. You will need to dumb your post down for me. I dont read Greek. Please give me your translation of the complete verse about the mind being set on the things of spirit or flesh. Thank you.

But dont they still understand right and wrong? If so then arent they in the battle?

But if everyone who chooses to be vaccinated is protected, why worry about those who dont? Its their choice, only they will face the consequences.

2 Corinthians 10: 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

Paul thought it was necessary to tell Timothy to point this out to the flock. But who are these people that Paul warns Timothy about?. 1 Timothy 4 New International Version (NIV) 4 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. 4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer. 6 If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters,[a] you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.

edit: sorry off topic

And wrong faith. James 4:3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

Proverbs 28:26 Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.

Im not seeing a problem. Romans 8:5 For those who are in accord with the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Thank you. I have a theory that a person can get their mind right if they observe Paul's teaching. This takes self control i think. Many times a day i put unwanted thoughts out of my mind. What would happen if i didnt?

i couldn't find much scripture on it.

Thanks. Interesting.

Yes we must guard our hearts from the desire for wealth and the cares of this life. Like Jesus said, where your treasure is so is your heart.
