When ever I have a serious need that I need to give to God to take care of, I feel unworthy to pray.  I feel unworthy to ask God for his help. I keep thinking how I am so imperfect. I don't feel like I am worthy of God's help. 

The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart,

And saves such as have a contrite spirit.

Psalm 34 v 18

Were you worthy to be saved on your own accord or christ'  righteousness?

Dear Lady.  I was not worthy. Because of Jesus' mercy He saved me by his Grace and made me worthy. Now I am worthy.  

You said we are wicked people.  I have to disagree again.  The wicked, sinful Denadii died,and was born again a brand new creation.  Jesus lives inside me now.  The wicked sinful Denadii is gone, dead.  I am a son of God.  

Do you remember Paul saying "I have hurt no man?  I have defrauded no man?  We read of Paul KILLING all of those Christians, yet he said "I have hurt no man."   Was he lying?   No.  That was not the same Paul that was killing Christians.  That Paul died on the road that day, and was born again, the Paul that we know and love.  The same happened to you, me, Shiloh and all born again Christians.  The problem is, we interpret the Word to say what we want it to mean. We interpret it to tell God just what He meant.  As if He doesn't know the language.  

I was an unworthy sinner.  Now I am a worthy man, the righteousness of God in the anointing.

There it is!

You are STILL NOT  worthy on your own merit! You are ONLY worthy because of Christ .

We are not living in our own merit. 

2 Corinthians 13:3-5

³ since you are looking for proof of the Messiah speaking in me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but he is powerful among you. ⁴ For although he was executed on a stake in weakness, now he lives by God’s power. And we too are weak in union with him, but in dealing with you we will live with him by God’s power.

⁵ Examine yourselves to see whether you are living the life of trust. Test yourselves. Don’t you realize that Yeshua the Messiah is in you? — unless you fail to pass the test.

We are living in HIS merit.

Where did you get this interpretation? Are you a JW?

Christ as crucified on a CROSS and not a stake

ROFL   Thank you for that, my friend.  No I am not JW.   There are several versions that use cross, and several that use stake.  It's really not an important distinction. 

In fact, if you think about it, the main killer for those being crucified was suffocation.  One on a cross would not easily suffocate.  

Here is the Greek from Strongs

σταυρός staurós, stow-ros'; from the base of G2476; a stake or post (as set upright), i.e. (specially), a pole or cross (as an instrument of capital punishment); figuratively, exposure to death, i.e. self-denial; by implication, the atonement of Christ:—cross

It looks as though 'stake' is interchangeable with 'cross'   What do you think?

I use the CJB a lot.  I use the King James, and I use the Amplified a lot too.  And I lean on the Holy Spirit too because I'm not smart enough to do intellectual study like so many other Christians.  

How do you learn the Word?

Yes sir it is a very important HISTORICAL distinction! History outside of the bible proves the romans used crosses to crucify criminals..

Cults are started by straying from the letter of the truth! Dont make that mistake.

Why do you think the cross was so repulsive to people in biblical times and the exact reason Jesus said this? It demonstrated death. That is what Jesus was saying. Die to yourself and follow me.

Matthew 16: 24Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.

Jesus didn say take up your stake.

Jesus didn't say take up your stake.

Did you look at the Greek word for 'Cross'?    It also defines the word 'Cross' as a pointed stake.   But again.  Believe what you will.

I'm not even going to try to convince people anymore.  I've gotten into trouble twice because I lose patience.  So.  Please.  Enjoy your day.    and hugs on ya

If the Word says it, I believe it. 

No, you don't.  You put more faith in the book of Enoch than you do the Bible.  And so far, you have shown exactly no skill in handling Scripture and what it actually says.

I don't go tearing it up and refocusing on it, sticking it into a microscope, and maybe believing it. 

No, you just redefine key terms to mold it around what you want to believe.

Or Interpreting it to say what opinions I may have. 

Actually that is exactly what you're doing.

  It says Jesus was made to be sin for us,so that we could be made worthy.  That's good enough for me.

But it doesn't say that.   You seem to have a real problem accurately representing what the Bible says.

 

Quote

  I am worthy NOW.  I am the righteousness of God in the anointing, Now. 

No, you're not. 

 

Quote

You can wait if you want.  Your choice.   I'll believe the Word any day before I believe mans doctrine.

You appear to suspend that notion when it comes to believing extra-biblical nonsense and conspiracy theories.

I have CJB, NKJV and Amplified.....I mainly use the Nkjv as its a study Bible.
