Answer A Question With A Question

[McWilliams]

In considering 'priority' one must finally come to grips with their greatest concern for life and think, 'why am I here and what does the Lord expect from me' dont you think?

 

[davedajobauk]

He, will not task us, beyond our abilities will He ?

 

[Songofthewind]

How do you rate your abilities?

 

[davedajobauk]

He will give me to-do
ONLY what he knows I can manage wont He ?

 

[McWilliams]

All depends doesnt it, on whether you have come to faith in Christ and have salvation in Him?

 

[amadeus2]

Yes, for without Him we cannot do anything can we?

 

[davedajobauk]

doesnt the bible say:

He, "would not know me" if, I were iniquitous ?
That, any sinner that does repent his sins, will be saved ?
Surely, His Mercy has no equal ?

 

[McWilliams]

Are we not also reminded in 1 John2:6 that 'he that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked'?

 

[lilmissmontana]

Yes, we are nothing if not for him, are we not?

 

[McWilliams]

How do you think this applies to our daily life?

 

[davedajobauk]

If He will bring us to it, then Jesus will see us through it

wont He ?

 

[McWilliams]

Well, would you then consider the verse to be chastising, encouraging or discipling in its meaning?

 

[davedajobauk]

could we not
see the verse as
1. encouraging
2. discipling
and also
3. chastisement ?

I John 2
Intro Christ our advocate -- Vices of the world to be avoided -- The unction of the Spirit.

1 My little children, these things write I unto you,
that ye sin not. But if any man sin and repent,
we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;

2 And he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected; hereby know we that we are in him.

6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.


where then, one, and indeed also the many
who is/ are not yet perfect
but however, keeps the commandments close
do/ does also repent of all sin [sincerely]
will become cleansed and lifted beyond
unto God's House by our Saviour

 

[gratefulgrace]

What was the question again?

 

[davedajobauk]

wasn't it: What do ostrich eggs taste like ?

 

[McWilliams]

Or, could it have been,'what is the price of peaches?'

 

[davedajobauk]

(peaches?) with or, without cream ?

 

[McWilliams]

Why, oh why, would anyone choose to have peaches without the cream?

 

[gratefulgrace]

Are they fuzzy peaches or smooth peaches?

 

[lilmissmontana]

They should be fuzzy or then they're a nectarine aren't they?
