ECT The Grace of God. Is it merited or unmerited?

[God's Truth]

Follow, follow, what do you mean He LIVES in me, I spect Him to manifest THROUGH me, I fail in that sometimes, ok so all you can do is do it better next time, I don't beat myself up.

I know how the flesh works, how the mind of the flesh thinks....but God works differently, He thinks differently. THAT'S what we have to learn.

If you are not obeying Jesus,then you are not living through the Spirit and the Spirit is not living through you.

 

[JonahofAkron]

Follow, follow, what do you mean He LIVES in me, I spect Him to manifest THROUGH me, I fail in that sometimes, ok so all you can do is do it better next time, I don't beat myself up.

I know how the flesh works, how the mind of the flesh thinks....but God works differently, He thinks differently. THAT'S what we have to learn.

I agree with that.

[God's Truth]

We know when we are well pleasing to God

We are not pleasing to God if we are not obeying Jesus' teachings.

We have to obey to learn and get understanding.


Psalm 119:100 I have more understanding than the elders, for I obey your precepts.

I said it right. Your spin on it does not change the truth that I spoke.

Ah, interesting Jesus didn't see that way.

Jesus didn't see the whole Bible as the Word of God, you say?!

CR apparently trusts his experiences more than he trusts the Words of God.

That is correct, if you will allow yourself to accept the notion that He was the Living Word of God made manifest in human flesh . . that the "written" word explained.

I would say that my experiences are miles ahead of that which you trust in, because the Living Word of God, Who you reject, is the Author of them, both the good and bad.

You are contentious.

 

[1Mind1Spirit]

So He wasn't obedient before that?

Before I posted that verse you denied it's very existence.

Now you presume to know what it means and where to put that understanding in the scheme of God's purpose.

Quite the whizz kid you are.:nono:

And you are ignorant. Willfully so.

I didn't deny any such thing. I said that He's been obedient the entire time
