Living Freely

[Alithis]

I am still trying to gauge where your coming from .
Your saying great sounding thing's
But there is a discord .

 

[ByTheSpirit]

The more a person loves Christ, the more they will seek to obey him in all areas of their life. The only legitimate way to love Jesus, is the same as any other relationship, and that is to spend time with him.

A Christians holiness and power are an exact representation of the time they spend with Jesus. Quantity is not even the necessary thing it is quality. The more quality time we spend with him, the more like him we become.

Are you Now ..after quoting John
，accusing him of judging those who gave themselves over to all manner of sexual depravity ,while doing the same himself..as romans 2 is a continution of romans one and that is what Paul is talking about when he says the above verses.

As for me I am mother judging them not am I practicing the same sin.
It is true the goodness of God leads us to repentance
It is not true that he then repents for us.
That is up to us.
Jesus says ..come to me..
To come to Him we must forsake where we were..not remain there in our sin.

I have no way of answering this because I cannot make sense from it

I'm quoting scripture. There is no discord from my POV. Sorry you are struggling.

It is more then only spending time..
There must be surrender there must be death to self thrtr must be the action of obedience.
To many think of they Just pray yet do nothing else they will grow.
But prayer without obedience is little more then empty chanting

But there is discord.
You quoted John
Then you said you focus on God and not your sin.

That is a cotradiction of what John stated.

We will have to agree to disagree -

I agree, spending time with God is the way to a stronger, healthier relationship with him!

It's the only way, IMHO. Our relationship is based on how much we know of Him through His Word, time spent in praise and worship and communicating with Him. He leads us in the paths of Righteousness.

It is not true that he then repents for us.

I have no clue where that is coming from - I've never said nor quoted any such a thing in my life.

There is no such thing
As agree to disagree .
I agree fully with what John stated.

But your commentary after it contradicted what John's states.
I do not agree that it is ok to do so under any circumstance.

Phil 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things arelovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

Living freely, IMO also means living free in my mind, having peace enhances my hearing from God.

Paul went so far as to describe the things we should think on.

We are set free so that we can be as Jesus was on the earth. A vessel of righteouness. A vessel of power and faith.
