I am asking you nicely and warning you, do not wipe your ass on this.

I don't personally have anything against Duane, it is just a matter of
truth.  It's just business.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5x-SyOEsAM&t=1274s

There will be a few seconds on either side of my comments, and possibly
grammar stuff.  But Duane's words are in "...........". I suggest you do
as I did for you, listen to the minutes contemporaneously, and rather
than judge what I am saying, as is your propensity, just receive (that
means understand) what is being said.

1:34  Jesus forgave all sin - no reason to articulate, past, present,
and future.  He forgave all sin for everybody or he didn't.  This is
important because it points to something much more important, like life
and death.

1:48  "We gotta deal with that if you want to stay married".  The
problem here is "We gotta deal". If you could "deal" with your sin in
your sinful state, you wouldn't need a Saviour!!  No, the Lord "deals"
with it.  This is why they fail to live a transformed life; they strive
to do it themselves.

3:00  Every son of God HAS realised how blessed he is.

3:30  God HAS written His laws on the hearts of those who are His.  They
are transformed.  A son of God HAS been changed within.

3:50  "I will be their God and they will be my people."  A son of God is
not a "will be". He is his God and he is His people.  No "going to be"
stuff.  IS!

4:40   A son of God does not teach another son of God about their
Father, they both know Him.

6:00 All those that know Him have a personal relationship with Him.
 Sons of God "do." That's it.

6:50  "When I mess up?" Look at how Duane subtly and how quickly he
downplays the magnitude of the violation against God.  Call it what it
is: when I sin and turn away from Him for the sake of the world!!!

The little foxes destroy the vineyard.

7:00  "When I fail and fall".  What's that??  Sin??  Yeah.  Sin against Him.

7:57  "The mistakes sin creates in our lives".  Sin doesn't create
anything.  Sin doesn't do it, you do it, you and what you are.

Sin is not what you do, it is what you are.

8:00-9:00 What Duane does not understand is that God has forgiven all
sin, so what remains?  He keeps harping on about sin.  What remains if
the Lord Jesus died for all the sins of the whole world??  Whether you
choose Him, want Him, or not.  And for that to be a reality, it is all
and nothing less.

All or nothing.  That doesn't include little 'mistake' excursions.
"Gradations of sin concepts".

9:05 What is on the forefront of God's mind is not the dripping blood of
Jesus spilled all over the place. Far from it. The forefront of God's
mind is, will you choose to love me.  A humble God.

Sure, He knows what will happen, but it is His Heart that is being
spoken about here.  It is yet another example of allowing it to be so
for the time being (for Him), because he is a God who fulfills all
righteousness even though he does not have to because he is righteousness.

It is in the same fashion as asking John the Baptist to baptist Him.

9:50 God does not chasten His son over sin.  A son of God, a real one,
has already been chastened, or he would not be a son.  A son has been
corrected, reproved, instructed in righteousness, and raised up a new
creature in his righteousness.

10:25 "God is empowering us and helping us overcome sin".  No, apart
from not knowing the fact that a son of God is already an overcome, more
than a conqueror, he is saying we have a say in overcoming sin.  There
is much I can write here, but we have to move on.

Duane is giving the impression that we have a certain amount of power to
achieve that.  No, we have none.  In your personal life, you do what the
Lord tells you to do, and He delivers you and crucifies your old nature
in ways you don't understand. All the glory is His.

10:55 Of course, God is for you!  There is no question about that.  He
died on the cross, for goodness sake!  He is waffling and wanting to set
up his next point. Is he even a believer?  Of course, everyone is
forgiven because the Lord died for the sins of the whole world.  I
didn't catch the timeline, but I think he is saying that he realized all
this basic stuff after he was supposed to be born again!!!  It's laughable.

12:39 Sin against God and one another - that is of the world, not in
true Christianity, not God's Christianity.  As has been mentioned many
times, he doesn't ask the next question, 'Are we really the Church of
God'?  And if he truly did ask that question, his house of cards would
crumble, along with his life as a Pastor.

But it is his choice.

It reminds me of this youngish doctor.  I once asked if he could go back
in time, would he be a doctor again? He said, no.  I said, well why
don't you change and do something else?  He said, 'I've come too far to
go back now'.

That is one reason why it is wise for a man to seek the Lord while he is
yet young.

13:15  THERE ARE NO EXTRA MARTIAL AFFAIRS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST.  A son
of God does not betray His Lord.  It is unbelievable that you can't see
this guy.  In all fairness, he can't see himself either.

13:35  Sin is not "stupid", it is a filthy, vile rejection of God, of
Jesus as Lord.

14:38-15:12 Because God does not compromise! Because God does not
compromise with sin, any sin!  There are no gradations of sin concepts.
And sin is not a "concept", it is the rejection of God!!

15:15 And by the way, the Word says what the Word says.  There are no
additional sinners' human morals required.  Not those of Uriah,
Bathsheba, or Duane!

"'Against You and You Only Have I Sinned"'.

1704 "See some sins we commit, and we know we've sinned...and we need to
learn to deal with that".  You are not your own Saviour.  You don't deal
with anything!!!

It has been explained.

1730  The Lord Jesus died for the sins of the whole world, sin is not
the problem. Whether you want Him or not is!!!

A break here: I am merely skimming the surface of what can be said, but
if I don't let some things go, I am going to be here till next
Christmas.  And for all intents and purposes, based on your history, you
are likely going to just wipe your ass on what I say anyway.

19:10 Psalms 103 "You need to remember".  What?  That Jesus is the Lord
and you should appreciate, honour Him??   He goes on to emphasise 19:40
"forgives all your iniquities".  Of course He does. He died on the cross
and forgave the whole world of sin.

What is the point again?  I am not interested in sin, I want to know
whether you will love Me with all your heart, soul, and mind.

20:10 "One of the things that keeps you energetic and serving God with
passion is knowing how forgiven you are".  I would not say that, but
there is a degree of joy in knowing what God has done for you, but it is
not what gives a son of God energy and passion for his Father.

Knowing Him gives me energy and passion; it's about who He is. That is
central to everything.  If that is not totally preeminent, then heavenly
places in Christ Jesus is not about "Thou art worthy"! That person has
another address.

21:00 When is Duane ever going to believe??  He does not mark
iniquities; He is only concerned with whether you want Him, and the
question is whether a man is willing to give up everything to be with Him.

21:38 God is not interested in sin, He dealt with it on the cross.  He
is only interested in whether or not a person wants Him, desires Him
with all their heart, needs his presence, is prepared to go sell all he
has and follow Him into a marriage.  He keeps going on and on and on
about sin.  God's not interested, and he's already dealt with it!!! It
is all a question of, 'Do you want to marry Me?'

No, there are no gradations of sin concepts!!!

22:45  Sin is sin!!!  No man can stand under any sin.  The problem is,
he and they are worried about sin because they know they have not given
the Lord all their heart, soul, and mind. They are trying to get around
that guilt with theology.

23:00  There is NO DIFFERENCE between stealing your pencil and killing
you.  SIN IS SIN.  He needs to get that into his brain!  Heart, more
precisely, because sin is a heart issue!!!  Go back to 21:15  Duane
said, "There are no little or big sins".  That is right.  Sin is sin.
 God is holy.  He is contradicting the truth when he says, "There IS a
difference between stealing your pencil and killing you".  No, there is
not. Sin is sin.

23:20  Vertical is all there is.  How you treat God is what determines
your whole life, including how you treat your neighbour.

The vertical or horizontal thing Duane has got going on is nonsense.

What you do wrong to your neighbour, you do wrong to God, because man is
made in His image. And what you do wrong to God, you do wrong to your
neighbour, because the fruit of those ways is rotten to those around you.

23:30  Now he goes on to religious horizontal thinking, man to man, and
that is not reality!  Man is not judge.  Understand that.  A sinner is
not the judge of right and wrong.  Duane is weighing the thoughts and
intents of the human heart according to his own human moral weighing
machine - like you do with me.

The overarching fact here is that with God, all things are possible, but
with man, nothing is possible.

24:50 Hand up.  No, I don't doubt my Father. I know He will never leave
me or forsake me.  Partly due to what we all know next...

Notice, Jesus never doubted His Father. Your translation says, My God,
my God, why have you forsaken me??  He is not questioning the presence
of the Father, but why (You being there), have you done this to me??

However, as you know, my Holy Spirit translation of that text is, "Of
Me, of Me, is my suffering; Jesus is the Lord.

Praise the Lord.

25:00   "James said, He who knows to do good and doesn't do it, for him
it is sin".  And who decision is that?  Yours?  :-) Duane's?  He is
assuming all are still sinners.  A son of God (not THE) was a sinner,
but not now.

Rom 5:8  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
YET sinners, Christ died for us.

Duane is assuming that everyone is like him...and, more concerning,
sending the message to the congregation that this is all they will ever
be. Who will receive the greater condemnation for that bill of goods?
Even though he is probably correct in that it is very unlikely that any
will come out of his ministry.

25:10  "I've got us all, everybody is guilty." No, not me.  You, him,
but not me.  Not a new creature, not a son of God.

25:20  God did make a new covenant with man.  He died on the cross for
the sins of the whole world.  Duane needs to believe that, forget about
sin, and get on with finding out God's will in his life and doing it.
Why?  So that the Lord can crucify that old nature in him and turn him
into the son He wants, not the son religion wants.

What kind of son is that? The true son is the one who loves him with all
of their heart, soul, and mind.

It is not difficult.

25:40  A son of God is fixed! God is not interested in sin (He dealt
with it on the cross), He is only interested in your willingness to love
me with all your heart, soul, and mind. He does not sit up there looking
for sin; He is up there looking for people who will give their lives to Him.

He doesn't change.

God has always scoured the entire earth for a heart to rise up from
among the multitudes towards Him.

Joh 4:23  But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers
shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh
such to worship him.

If the rich young ruler had chosen that, he would not have gone away
sorrowful.

25:42 "Get back up, come to me, let's get it fixed"  :-).  It sounds
impressive, but a son of God doesn't leave and is fixed.

26:00  "My love for God, my respect for God, my loyalty to God, comes
out of this revelation, of His love for me."  No, it doesn't.  Subtle,
very subtle.  A son of God's love, respect, his loyalty for God comes
out of who God is. Like Mary and her perfume at the feet of
Jesus...worship for who He is.  A son of God loves His Father because of
who He is, the Person He is. All the glory is HIS.  He is worthy alone.

"Me" doesn't come into that realm!

Interestingly, the Lord just reminded me of Moses, not saying to the
rock as he was instructed, but hitting it.  In his heart, Moses was not
treating God with the worthiness he deserved, and he was not
demonstrating God's worthiness to the people.

Who He is, and nothing else.

26:10  "You can only love God to the measure and degree you know how
much He's loved you."  That is just wrong.  Duane is making a 'sounds
like he is saying something' statement.  This is also very subtle, more
subtle than the above and so much harder to get across.  Love has no
measure, nor degree. Love is love, or it is not love at all.

You will either receive that or not.

Like I said, I don't have a personal bent toward the man, other than
that he is a wolf in sheep's clothing. It is primarily about the truth.
 In other words, who he is is not what drives me.

In the 26 min, it is so wrong, I am not even going to go there.  We have
to get to the end of this venture.  I will say this, though: man has
obtained mercy!

27:45 How can you love God and walk away totally???  That ain't love.

29:25 Abraham did what he did because he recognised God for WHOM HE IS! 
Can you get that?

He goes on in the next few minutes in the same old thing.  Sin, sin,
sin.  It is not about sin, you know why.  It is about whether or not you
give your life to God!

31:40 Does he understand "Takes away the sins of the world"? If God
'takes away the sins of the world', what remains?  Yeah. It is entirely
up to you whether you will devote your entire life to Him.

All or nothing.

How many times does it need to be said?

32:30  Again, over and over again, does he believe and dwell with a
people who believe?? Sins are covered, sins have been paid for.  What
remains??  You should know by now!!

It is not about sin!!!  It is about whether or not you give your life to
Him.  All or nothing.

Mat 19:21  Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell
that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in
heaven: and come and follow me.

Mat 19:22  But when the young man heard that saying, he went away
sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

Duane then goes on and becomes convoluted, repetitious, and random in
his religious discourse. Repentance is repenting of not loving God with
all your heart, soul, and mind.

37:00  A person who loves God with all of their heart, soul, and mind is
not required to repent!   Why is that?  They repented and are  raised up
(resurrected) new creatures in Him.

39:45  And God is never about "with your help" or 'a being there to help
you with your decisions, buddy,' but about being all in with Me and My
will, or running your own life.

40:10  Again, he goes on to quote 1 John 1:5-6, but he doesn't see it.
It means, if you walk in ANY darkness, you are deceiving yourself, and
are not in the truth. There is no revolving door in Christ Jesus.

What exactly is that darkness???????

It is to not love God with all your heart, soul, and mind!!!!!

40:55 There is NO DIFFERENCE between failing, falling, and tripping in
sin and walking in sin!  It is all falling short, no matter how you want
to paint it!  Falling short of what?  Of not loving Him with all your
heart, soul, and mind, not having GIVEN your life to Him.

Surely you see that.

The rich young ruler did not walk away and follow, did he??  It is
either one thing or the other.

41:20  There is no difference between doing a sin and practicing a sin,
it is the same thing.  Sinning against God.  Sin that has been paid for
on the cross, yes, but like the Lord has kept saying here and now...IT
IS NOT ABOUT SIN.  You know by now what it is really all about!!!

43:00 If a man loves God with all his heart, soul, and mind, then
everything will fall into place.  Nothing will be out of place.  Keep
your focus off me...YOU DO NOT KNOW ME...you don't know me from a bar of
soap.

The rest of 1 John is for those who are still in their sinful state, not
for the sons of God who have been through it all (died to that old sin
self nature) and are new creatures.  Sinful state as in NOT loving God
with all their heart, soul, and mind.  That is the new unforgivable sin.

It doesn't take much to realise that in light of the suffering the Lord
Jesus went through on the cross to redeem mankind, rather, to give man
the hope of salvation.  And to throw that in God's face is an utter
abomination!!!  There will be no forgiveness for that!!!

The problem with Duane et., al, is that he is trying to learn
righteousness, and that can never happen.  You must lose your life, and
that can only happen through knowing God's will in your daily life and
doing it.  That will not come about without earnest, resolute, and
desperate prayer to the Lord to change you.  It has to be raw and real;
any pretence won't cut it.

Don't think theology about what is next, search for the heart of God.

1 John 2:1 What then is sin??  Not loving God with all your heart, soul,
and mind.  That is why John says (listen), "that ye sin not", or in
Duane's translation, "so that you may not sin", future tense.

Meaning, you are free of sin now because the Lord Jesus died for the
sins of the whole world, so that you may go on to love God. But if you
do not do that, then you will go on to commit the unforgivable sin.  You
see, that you may not go on to do that - God's heart, He doesn't desire
any to perish.

You should be buoyed by the fact that you are not condemned as it stands
right now, because you have an advocate, the wonderful Lord Jesus
Christ.  However, you could go on to sin and die not loving God with all
your heart, soul, and mind.  And that now is the ONLY thing that can
condemn a man!

You know why!

48:18 "And when we do a piece of stupid" is nonsense.  Not loving God is
not merely a piece of stupidity; it is a deliberate act of turning your
back on God!

1 John 2:2  And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours
only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

So sin is paid for!  What remains??  We have been talking about it all
along.  That you may not go on to commit the unforgivable sin of not
loving the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind.

God never forsakes anyone, men forsake Him.

52:15 No man can forgive another man in his...listen...state of NOT
loving God with all his heart, soul, and mind.  That man is incapable of
forgiving according to God's standard, the only standard.  Or, the only
way to forgive your neighbour is to love God with all you are.

Remember this from earlier...'What you do wrong to your neighbour you do
wrong to God, because man is made in His image, and what you do wrong to
God, you do wrong to your neighbour, because the fruit of your ways is
rotten to those around you.'

And for true forgiveness to occur, you need to follow the Saviour by
doing what He tells you to do in our daily life to get to your
crucifixion.  Only He knows how and in what way that can happen.

I guess it is all down to trusting in Him then, isn't it?!  :-).  And
not yourself.  What a surprise. :-).

Duane needs to take his hands off the steering wheel, but having driven
that bible all these years...well...I am not going to judge the man. 
That does not mean he is not subject to the truth of what and where he
is, though.

It breaks my heart to see so many trying to raise themselves up by their
shoelaces.  There are no "gradations of sin concepts" in God.  It is all
or nothing.

56:15 "But I wanna be right, I want to make things right".  I know he is
making the prayer for others, but it is the call from his own heart too.
 Everyone has that desire, even atheists. But it is one thing to want
to be made right, and another thing entirely to be wrong, completely
wrong, and get out of the way of God by faith.

Nevertheless, that is the narrow path, and that is what it would have
been if the rich young ruler had sold all he had and followed the Lord.
Forsaking everything, even more than his worldly riches, is what it
takes.  Not my will, but thy will in all things.

Joh 21:18  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young
[needing indoctrination, reproving, correcting, instruction in
righteousness], thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou
wouldest [according to your own will]: but when thou shalt be old
[meaning, come to put away childish things], thou shalt stretch forth
thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou
wouldest not [AS a little child].

The Lord will guide thee, down a path with a lamp unto your feet and a
light unto your path.

Joh 21:19  This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God.

...it wasn't being crucified upside down (Peter), it is to lose your
life, your will, your ways, your all.  That is how you glorify God.

Sorry, nothing is under negotiation.

All or nothing.  That is what all the called need to understand!!  Life
or death.  God does not compromise.

If you have a leading question, I will answer it for the sake of your
“apology of sort” on the other post.  Other than that, the Lord does not
negotiate His Truth with men.

If I were you, I would read it again and do as the Lord asked, "Rather
than judge what I am saying, as is your propensity, just receive (that
means understand) what is being said."

:-). Nice one! You are trying to snare me, Robert. :-).

Reminds me of, "Whose is this image and superscription?" :-).

It doesn't matter what men believe.

Sin is sin.

Mat 19:7  They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a
writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
Mat 19:8  He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your
hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it
was not so.
Mat 19:9  And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except
it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and
whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
Mat 19:10  His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with
his wife, it is not good to marry.
Mat 19:11  But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying,
save they to whom it is given.

I know the Lord moves on to eunuchs but look at the way the Lord
finished here. Simply, nothing is received without revelation from above.

He is speaking deeper than mere adultery here.

For the hardness of men's hearts we need laws of adjudication, a pencil,
a murder, but from the beginning it was not so.

Wrong is wrong, and right is right.

Or, eunuchs are something, and they are not something else.

And sin, my friend, is sin.

Verse 12: "He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. "




Michael Christ

PS Now ask yourself, can you justify adultery? That is, any sin against
God? From [in] the beginning it was not so, and in Christ Jesus it is
not so.

And now it matters what men believe?? :-).

You are wasting my time again, Robert. You know what that means.

If you spent your time seeking the truth instead of trying to condemn
me, your time would be infinitely better spent.

The law of Moses was fulfilled.

What has that to do with me?

The point was "in the beginning" below.

When the Spirit of God walked with Adam and Eve in the garden, and as
now, in Christ Jesus.

Sin is sin, and you want the response you want to hear.

Sin is not loving God with all you heart, soul, and mind. You were told
that ages ago.

And no, it hasn't changed.

You have been told, again, and again, and again.

It has always been the sin that determines all iniquity.

That last bit, such is the desire toward all those a son of God speaks,

Not really.

Such is the disposition of the "called", but not the "chosen". Duane
needs to ask the question amidst all his complaining about his
church/churches, "Are we really The Church?"

I wasn't talking about divorce, the Lord was talking about "in the
beginning it was not so". You missed it because (once again), you are
not looking for truth as a priority, you are looking to find fault to
crucify me because I oppose your religious beliefs.

After all, what if what I have been saying all these years was true?
 :-).  Shock, horror!! :-).

Wouldn't that be devastating to your cause with all the accusations and
condemnation you have levelled at me over the years, and even now??!!

Again with the accusation and condemnation, and because I tell you the

"Sin is not loving God with all your heart, soul, and mind."

It obvious.

It is a little too comprehensive for Duane et al., I know.  :-).

Nevertheless.

God determines iniquity, not your interpretation of the biblical text.

"Sin is not loving God with all your heart, soul, and mind."

If you can't get that, all you have is a shallow understanding of sin
and of the nature of God and His salvation.

Put your personally guided bible down, and listen to and for the Lord
Jesus...like I do...He is a Person. Ink is only about Him. It is not
enough.

It is too fantastical for you, I know, but a son of God has all he needs
and will ever need.

You are speaking about the called, not the chosen.

Duane is not "The Church", nor does he represent "The Church".  He is
not born again, yet he has set himself up in the Holy Place as though he
is, and since you can't see that, it is a very big problem.

Maybe one day the penny will drop, and then your eyes will be opened.

Who says I go on a cursing rant??

You according to your morals?? Are you the standard??

However, what if, like your understanding of Duane, your morals are
fucked up??

> Therefore, to you it is a sin.

There are no sinners in Christ Jesus, no double-dippers, no revolving
doors, no "gradations of sin concepts", much less "gradations of sin
concepts" according to the moral judgements of sinful men!

That is for sure!!!


IOW's, you did not follow the commandment to

The Lord leads, I follow, just like now.

You have made a wonderful conclusion to your assumptions, Mein Fuhrer of
perfect worldly morals! :-).

All those people running around striving to do what is right in the
world, religious or otherwise, are striving to do it in a spiritual
environment that is hopelessly corrupt.

Just like your programmed religious morals, and are all tainted with a
sin perception and distinction.  Or as Paul wrote it, "Glass darkly",
dark with sin in a sinful darkened world.

Psa_14:3  They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy:
there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Rom 3:10  As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Rom 3:11  There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh
after God.
Rom 3:12  They are all gone out of the way, they are together become
unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Oh, you say, what about Michael Christ??

Well, I am no longer my own.

What did David say?? What did God say by putting it in our perception
in the Psalms??

Psalms 51:4  Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil
in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be
clear when thou judgest.

"What you do wrong to your neighbour, you do wrong to God, because man
is made in His image. And what you do wrong to God, you do wrong to your
neighbour, because the fruit of those ways is rotten to those around you."

"Against thee, thee only, have I sinned."

Or, whatever sin consequence happens to man, is deserved. I know, you
are going to find that hard. Nevertheless.

All men were born sinners, and don't deserve so much as a breath.

Psa 51:5  Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother
conceive me.

No, it doesn't mean David's mother was unfaithful with or to Jesse, it
means all men were born sinners...that is why all sin.

The law was fulfilled in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is fundamental to
any New Testament scholar with any understanding.

God only has one grade now, all or nothing. And now that you know what
sin truly is, you can apprehend that reality.


> Did not Jesus teach to forgive those that trespass against us if we are to

The sons of God are forgiven.

Forgiveness is not an action of the mind, it is a state of the natural
being in the heart of God, and in the sons of God.

Again, the called have to be told that, the chosen, the son of God just
'am' like that. He who has been forgiven much, loves much (meaning,
entirely).

Don't answer your own questions, because that is all you end up with.

I know it is hard to fathom, but once again you are talking about the
called. Called to what, though?? Yes, you know what that is by now.
To love the Lord thy...

A son of God does not need instruction in righteousness anymore (2 Tim
3:17 and has moved on from verse 16, from glory to glory), he just
listens in his heart to what the Lord of Righteousness, the Lord Jesus,
is saying and does it. He can do that because he really is a new
creature. Did Paul or James need anyone to write these things to them??

A son of God has entered into His rest.

Anyone can do it if they lay down their life for the sake of who He is,
but few are willing to do so! They prefer to have a go at crucifying
themselves, and where would the glory go then, if indeed it could?

"To seek your own will is to seek your own glory".

No one is running around dripping with the blood of Jesus, especially
with sin in their lives!

It is a fantasy.

The Lord Jesus' blood was spilled, it is dead and gone; He was
resurrected and now has a new heavenly body.  He died for the sins of
the whole world. God does not look down and see His blood splattered
all over the place. His heart, most likely!!!

It is done!!! What now remains for men??? You should know by now.

Doesn't that throw a spanner in the transubstantiation theology, and the
Protestant version of the transubstantiation! :-).

The days of Moses are gone forever.

What is that to do with now in Christ Jesus?? There is no law.

It was not so in the beginning, and it is no so now in Christ Jesus.

Sin is sin, wrong is wrong, and right is right, none the twain shall
meet. A gulf is fixed.

What has that to do with me?

Notice again, this world is the "power of darkness", and there are a
hell of a lot of sinners running around in it and of it supposedly doing
good!

I don't really know what you are talking about.

You said, "You are the one who brought up the divorce issue".

No, I didn't, I brought up "In the beginning it was not so". Divorce
was mentioned in the bible quote, but I was not referring to that.

I thought that was perfectly clear.

No respect of persons.

You are doing the trampling.

I showed you the respect to reply to your concerns, you have not offered

You need to read and understand the below, it seeks to bring down that
statement above about your life.
