[QUOTE="Serving Zion, post: 73352005, member: 387004"] It could become an interesting topic! .. if you consider who "they" are that will ask all the more, then you see it has to be the torturers in Matthew 18:34. We are talking about someone who is doing punishment according to God's judgement, (but not according to God's will - Ezekiel 33:11). There is something of a pressure that is preventing us from doing The Lord's will - whether we know it or not. That pressure, what is it? I say it is the very thing that we are told we must overcome in order to be victorious: Revelation 3:21, Revelation 2:7 - but what is it? It is the sin, of course. It is the way of the world that we must take no part in (Romans 12:1-2, Revelation 18:4, 1 Peter 4:4-5). I have written to you, children, because you have known the Father. I have written to you, fathers, because you have known the One who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one. You are from God, children, and you have overcome them, because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. They are from the world, so they speak from the world and the world listens to them. We are from God; whoever knows God listens to us, but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error. It is clear to see that the one we must overcome is the one who is in the world. Children don't have that sense of authority (naturally), but then by the time they do get to that stage, the young man, they have already been enticed and stumbled by their sin per James 1:14-15. Unfortunately, they do still have the childlike quality to comply rather than the fatherly quality to command. [/QUOTE]
