Self control? 1 Co 8:9 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak. 10 For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols? 11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. 12 When you sin against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.

Where did i suggest that it was?

I dont believe BLM or Woke people want justice. They are intolerant of the views of others. Big Tech for example and the liberal press do not give the apposing side a fair shake. Thats not justice its bigotry and censorship. They talk about doing away with "whiteness" as if being white is bad. What about blackness? Is that bad? This is racism and or racebaiting. It sure isnt justice.

I had a thought the other day and i cant remember what it was but it made me think that everything points to God. I saw an example but cant remember it. It was cool though. Yes God is in control.

Interesting verse comparison. I have heard prosperity Christians use it to promote the prosperity gospel. It sound to me however like Luke is quoting the same words that Mathew does. It sounds like its talking about judging not giving money and prospering because of it.

Perhaps Josheb believes in two crucifixions, one for the old man and one for the flesh. I cant really make sense of his beliefs.

Time to leave my own thread. We must avoid things that would cause us to stumble

Yes! you did.

If people are not flesh then why do they need to be reborn in Spirit? Why am i, a sinner, found guilty of something that is not part of me?

Do you mean we are crucified, and our flesh is crucified, but these two things dont have much to do with each other? your statement sounds wrong to me. Are there two crucifixions? When i crucify my flesh im crucifying the old man. They are one in the same.

Just a moment ago i thought of something really stupid that i did.. I do that often. I closed my eyes and with a big sigh i asked the Lord to help me. I found rest and peace. I thought how good it would be to apply that to the pain others may inflict on us. Its the pain we feel thats hard to forgive, but if we can find peace and rest in the Lord then it overcomes the pain.

I want revenge for wrong doing, i want to speak out against it. But thats not bearing our cross is it? Jesus didnt do that when they crucified Him.

Crucifying oneself is painful. Feeling like i have been a victim of others discrimination deeply wounds me inside like a nail that pierces my flesh.

Thank you Maybe i'll take a break and come back later.

Anyway thanks for the kind replies. Stumbling over things is a bad habit of mine. You get tired of it after a while.

Im not so sure. Im not the only one who has had problems here.

Thank you so much. I dont fit in, I never have and never will. I dont have tolerance for bias and discrimination. It will always get me in trouble. Some people are better off alone.

Not the first time i been banned but it will be the last. Some people are blessed with Churches and forums, others are not so blessed. They dont seem to like sharing however.

I sent him a message but no reply. Ill prolly get banned anyway, then i'll be alone. Maybe thats a good thing.

Im not upset about that. Im upset over you accusing me of something and me not having a chance to explain myself. Do you think thats right?

Im sure Alive will be here to help you out.

Chickencoop2 accused me of arguing with someone i actually agreed with. I answered that reply explaining why thats not the case. Alive still hasnt posted that reply of mine but others who posted after me have their replies posted.

I dont think i want to answer your questions. I answer yours but Alive must be too busy to post them.
