The secret to overcoming is to take Christ to be your person.
Christ lives in the Christian. We have to learn to take Him and take His perfection. We utterly identify with Him, and then some.
This is grace upon grace.
This is grace being multuiplied ... Grace and peace multiplying like living cells.
We need to learn to TAKE Christ as out faith, to TAKE Christ as our consecration, to TAKE Christ as our zeal, to TAKE Christ as our wisdom, to TAKE Christ as our all in all.
You don't have any faith?
Christ has all the faith. TAKE Christ as the believing one for you.
I am serious.
Christ being the great "I AM" means that we are not and He is.
In other words He is everything we need.
"For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace." (John 1:16)

Ghost of Duke,
You don't have to take this or any thread or post of mine seriously if you don't want to. If it serves you better to dismiss every word, that's okay with me.
You can also dismiss the Bible and the words of Jesus, if you want to. Don't wait around for me to recall them. Just go ahead and count the whole Bible as beneath you.
...[text shortened]... want to know something about overcoming failures as disciples of Christ.
Have a super life.
I trawled through your posting history last time to link to the post as you had requested. (A post you acknowledged and said you may indeed apologise for). For you to ask me to do so again is actually a little insulting and simply demonstrates how unqualified you are to lecture on overcoming failure.

Two alternatives i'm certain of:
1. God doesn't exist. Therefore I won't burn.
2. God does exist. But by His very nature (perfectly loving) He won't see me burn in the fires of hell for all eternity simply because the rational brain He supplied me with was unconvinced of his existence.

I wonder who is to blame if someone sincerely believes a lie.

Rather unsurprisingly, there's quite a strong whiff of your trademark vanity coming from this thread.

Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeInsults dont bother me GoD .. fortunately, neither would I hold these insults against anyone. Any apology is to please sonship, and not me.
I'm sure Rajk will appreciate that long overdue apology.
To aid your memory (careful phrasing my foot) you directly called him an idiot. When I later reminded you of this (following some distinctly pompous thread on how Christians were above such insults) you challenged me to link to the post where you had made such a comment. When I promptly did ...[text shortened]...
To be honest, the above behaviour makes this current thread by you difficult to take seriously.

For sure. Public apologies like public prayer is a sign of arrogance. He could have just apologised to Eladar privately but he choose a public apology so that everyone can see.
Having said that, this thread is a topic not an apology. The apology was just a concrete example.

Originally posted by @rajk999Only he could think I was simultaneously saying God didn't and did exist,...only him,.....on the entire planet. Only he could fail to understand that I was saying that if God doesn't exist I will not burn in hell, but 'even if' a perfectly loving God did exist, I still wouldn't burn in hell, due to this omnibenevolence.
Are you insulting simpletons? 😀
It is due to this profound simpleton nature that I have asked him repeatedly not to respond to my posts. Alas, being a simpleton, he continues to do so.
