You wear scripture like a cloak to conceal your delusions of deification. (Yes I know, the son of a hedgehog is a hedgehog.)

Yes, I would
If I could
I surely would
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes, I would
If I only could
I surely would
Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world its saddest sound
It's saddest sound

@sonship saidSoooo patronizing.
@josephw
If you have more questions perhaps you should take them to God in prayer.
My replies seem to not doing you any benefit.
Take what is on your heart to the Lord Jesus in honest prayer. Any subject is good to take with an honest heart accompanied with some thanksgiving.
Joseph has a far better grip on Christianity than you do.
@sonship saidWell, sonship, if my questioning to, and objections of, what you are posting about in this public forum causes you consternation, to the effect that you feel the need to condescend to me and presume to instruct me about what to pray for, and presume to think your teachings are somehow more instructive than my pastor/teachers, which I have learned from for decades with instructions and exhortations on every conceivable theological and doctrinal topic discussed, debated and know to man, then by all means do what you have to do.

I just can't stand idly by and watch while the narrative of scripture is commingled with the contrivances of manmade words when the simple God inspired words like crucify and mortify say to me what God wants me to know and understand.
Sorry for dragging it through the mud.

There are those who vastly under estimate God's complete salvation.
The extent of His saving and the depths of His purpose, they under estimate.
Christ, though, ever lives to intercede for His people that they be saved to the uttermost.
"But He, because He abides forever, has His priesthood unalterable. Hence also He is able to save to the uttermost those who come forward to God through Him, since He lives always to intercede for the." (Heb. 7:24,25)
It is unfortunate that some here seeing saving "to the uttermost" not as
the power of God's grace but the presumption of man's overreach.

I love the way the RcV brings out of the Greek that the Christian GROWS in the co-death and the co-resurrection of Christ.
"For if we have grown together with Him in the likeness of His death, indeed we will also be in the likeness of His resurrection." (Rom. 6:5)
Do not say "This sounds like The Terminator of Hollywood." It is the other way around. The fiction of Hollywood sounds like the reality of the economy of God. Reality is more fascinating than any fiction of man.
"Knowing this, that our old man has been crucifie with Him in order that the body of sin might be annulled, that we should no longer serve sin as slaves." (v.6)
Christ IS the real "Terminator" and "Resurrector" too.
@sonship saidUnbelievable patronising pridefulness by you.

Oh Josephw…if what I’m saying doesn’t resonate or you are too spiritually immature to comprehend the deep wonderment of my words, then you must ask Jesus to explain my words to you.
You seriously need to get over yourself you peacock.
@josephw saidJust think. There is nothing new under the sun. This has been going on as long as there has been scripture. I can't be sure that it has remained inviolate. We're talking literally thousands of years, in combination with corrupt elders down thru the ages. Just how much scripture, the word of God, has survived totally intact?

@suzianne saidPerhaps your “just think” instruction would be better offered to sonship?
