Praise the lord

Praise God

Thank you Jesus

After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. (1 Peter 5:10 ESV)

Something has got to be done "IN" us as well as "FOR" us. We want to proceed on the line of having things done for us, heaven intervening for us, our difficulties removed for us, having a straight path made for us. Heaven may be ready to come in, the Lord may be prepared to work for us, but it is not sufficient for Him – and it would not prove good enough for us – if that were all.

The very principle of spiritual growth and maturity demands that He keeps the objective and the subjective balanced; that is, that something is done in us as well as for us. It is the principle of the Cross again. He died for us – that is the objective. We died in Him – that is the subjective. Here are two sides in spiritual experience. He keeps the balance of things. We have to have this balance wrought in us, and to be delivered from this tendency of allowing our problems to obscure the Lord, this inveterate habit of ours of viewing the position merely objectively instead of saying, "What does the Lord want to teach us about this? What does He want to do in us in this matter? There is something He is after in us." He has something to do in us before He can do it for us. How often we have found that when we have come to a new position with the Lord, when the thing has been done in us, then there has been outward movement. So the mention of the subjective exercise suggests that we have to take this matter to our own hearts as something which requires a change in us.

Thank you Jesus, thank you my Father,my Lord and my God,may your name continue to be exalted forever in Jesus name amen

MaxInDHouse:
The verse was directed at Timothy a traveling overseer chosen to form churches among the gentiles in the first century.
Paul instructed Timothy to lay his hands only on gentiles Christians who married only one wife so whoever has more than one knows that something is wrong with his standing.
Bishops are the overseers in the congregation while Deacons are their assistants so if you're not qualified to be any of the two then you're not a complete Christian worthy of honor among God's people. 1Timothy 3:2 & 12
That's the import of what you quoted!

Dude stop adding or quoting bible out of context

MaxInDHouse:
Timothy was instructed to lay his hands only on Christians (among the gentiles) with one wife but Jewish Christians don't have more than one wife as they are aware of warming from the last prophet before John the baptist who said Jews should stop dealing treacherously with the wife of their youth {Malachi 2:14-15} so when John the baptist was telling them to repent and turn to God {Matthew 3:1-2} whoever has more than one wife already knows that he is not in good terms with God unless he makes a U-turn.
So if we are moving on to maturity as Christians no longer to be fed with spiritual milk {Hebrews 5:12-14} whoever wants to be recognized as a bonafide member of the Christian congregation he must stop SLEEPING with anyone who is not the wife (not wives) of his youth! Proverbs 5:18

I gave u a clear verse, what's all these?

MaxInDHouse:
Where is it written that a follower of Christ has more than one wife?

1Tim3:2 The bishop therefore must be without reproach, THE HUSBAND OF ONE WIFE, temperate, sober-minded, orderly, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
The above verse indicates Christians do have more than one wife in the apostolic age, but such mustn't be a leader in the church

MaxInDHouse:
NO, he must stop SLEEPING with them as he's now ready to live the life of a Christian so they are free to go if they want but he should continue footing their bills as he choose to do so it's SLEEPING with them that's prohibited in Christianity.

Where's it written in scripture as you so claim?

My Father,my Lord and my God,I say thank you for everything in Jesus name amen

Righteousness2:
True Repentance means turning away from your evil deeds.
Repentance means making right your wrongs.

Read The Conversion story of the tax collector in Luke 19 Zaccheus .

You cant remain with the sin and claim you are saved. You are deceiving yourself.

A Sinner is not a Christian. 1 john 3:8
A Christian is not a Sinner 1 John 3:9

True repentance of a man with more than one woman will entail him settling all his sin partners , sending them back to their parents and making peace with his 1st legally married Wife.
This is true Repentance.

Any other thing is you Deceiving yourself.

So he should send them away for who to marry them?

An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the HUSBAND of ONE WIFE, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, skillful in teaching,1tom3:2.

the verse says to be an overseer one must have one wife, meaning there are those with more than one wife in the early church

Praise God

Bless Jesus

KnownUnknown:
Pssst. Let me tell you a little secret: There is no such thing as sin.

Hmm,ok

sonmvayina:
That is what Paul said...
It is a cult thing. It got nothing to do with God..
It is not God's position.
It was a cult like free masons....

It got nothing whatsoever to do with God.
He abhors human sacrifice...is he not the one who created humans. Why would you kill anyone for him? Does it really make any sense?

Ok

60?
Why not one or two points

sonmvayina:
A father can't be put to death for the sins of his son.
A son can't be put to death for the sins of the father...
A man dying for the sin of another goes against natural justice. If it does not work with man, it certainly won't work with God...

A human sacrifice for sin belongs to the realm of Lucifer. It is an abomination in the site of God..when he sent Jonah to Ninevah to preach to them. They repented of their sins and God forgave them. No human or animal sacrifice was needed or required..
All he desires is a sincere repentance and he would forgive. Except you want to advice God that his solution is not sufficient..Then take it up with him. If God says if I repent, he would forgive me..I think I am ok with that. It is the same God who said "Thou shall not kill"..He is not turning around to use the death of a human being as a "get out of jail card"....that is in the realm of Lucifer...

Dude, without the shading of blood there's no forgiveness of sin.
Hebrew9:22..In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

sonmvayina:
The author wrote it like that...

Your job is to read it and learn the spiritual message in it...

Not question it...

Ok

Praise God

Praise God

Thank you Jesus
