      We do this minute by minute every day by deferring to Jesus' lordship over our lives and by our choosing to let Him live His life out through us using His unlimited power.
  • the flesh [a]sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, (D)so that you may not do the things that you [b]please

      In Galatians 5:16-21 (NASB), the Apostle Paul describes the war between the power of "Mr. Sin" via our Flesh, in Satan, and that of Holy Spirit, in Christ, that wages constantly within the body of human beings ...including Followers of Jesus. However, you can read the last Chapter of the Bible, the Book of Revelation to see how this war turns out. It says that at the end of time Jesus Followers win because Jesus puts and end to this war within us! Our "Warrior Within", Yeshua/Jesus, puts an end to the power of the flesh on our behalf so that we do not have to resist it any more! Hallelujah! gfp (20112-08-28)

    Philippians 4: 11-13 makes clear that a Jesus Follower can "put up with" anything ...because of the power-source that lives within us. Please note that Paul confirms that he was "content with" not "content in" his circumstances. A Jesus Follower should never be "under the circumstances" in Christ! A great companion for this passage is Holy Spirit's similar promise in 1 Corinthians 10:13 where the Greek also means "trial" as well as "temptation". gfp(2012-02-25) Striving to better oneself is NOT unBiblical and is encourages in many places provided we do it in Christ (John 15:5).

      Yeshua (Jesus) Followers work hard for God! But, they do so moment to moment only after Holy Spirit draws them into relationship with Jesus and they choose to follow Him. They do their "good works" to glorify God out of thankful love for the salvation that He already has given them because of His loving grace and mercy (unmerited favour). And they do this only as he lives his life out through them as Jesus said in John 15:5 at http://diigo.com/0jvfh . Good works done otherwise i.e., in "the flesh" (pre-salvation habitual leanings), have NO value.

  • Why Zombies Should Matter to Christians
  • Zombies now are featured in top-rated cable TV shows, and in apocalyptic novels and survival guides.
  • The zombie myth is rooted in something quite real, and quite terrifying. The zombie stories emerged in a Caribbean context of brutal slavery. The zombie’s horror is that he is, she writes, a slave forever. After all, if even death cannot free you, you can never be free.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • That’s exactly the point, and here’s why it should matter to Christians.
  • They are horrifying because they represent what ought to repulse us: the rotting decay of death. But they still walk. And, beyond that, they still crave. In their search for human brains, they are driven along by their appetites, though always under the sway of a slavemaster’s will.
  • That’s our story
  • The biblical story of the Fall of humanity is one of a humanity that comes under the sway of death by obeying the appetite.
  • He sentences us to the curse of death so that, ultimately, we can be redeemed.
  • The Gospel tells us that, apart from Christ, we were walking in the flesh, that is slavishly obeying our biological impulses and appetites without the direction of the Spirit. As such, we were “dead in trespasses and sins” (Ephesians 2:1).
  • This walking death, the Apostle Paul writes, was driven along as we “carried out the desires of the body and the mind” (Ephesians 2:3).
  • Caribbean people could resonate with the horror of zombies because they knew what it was like to be enslaved by evil people, with no hope of escape.
  • The Gospel doesn’t just extend our lives forever into eternity. That’s what we, left to ourselves, think we want.
  • Jesus points out that he wants to eternalize his present state rather than to be hidden in the life of Jesus Himself. That’s a zombie walk, and Jesus loves us too much for that.
  • Jesus offers instead life, and that abundantly, as we eat of His flesh, drink of His blood, share in His triumph over the accusing slavemaster.

      In John 3:16-17, God, The Heavenly Father shares in a nutshell His "Gospel". Gospel is the English translation of the Greek meaning "Good News". The Good News is that about Jesus' gift to every person on earth and His coming to live in His Followers in the person of God the Holy Spirit! Jesus is the English translation used for God the Son's original Hebrew name, Yeshua. GaryFPatton (gfp '42™ 2011-09-08)
  • only begotten Son

    • Gary Patton
      Gary Patton on 18 Dec 12
       
      The King James Version (KJV), the New American Standard Bible (NASB) and other modern translations of the Christian Bible use the older English word "begotten" in this verse. Begotten, the progressive tense of the verb "begat" would be better translated in all Bible versions as "one and only". Begotten in the context of this verse does NOT mean procreation by sexual intercourse as it does when referring to humans and animals. The latter is what the Islamic Qur'an argues in Surah 23:89-91. Because of the Islamic teaching about the meaning of begat, I like "The Message (MSG)" paraphrase of the Greek for "one and only" at http://diigo.com/0n225 . There the writer uses "one of a kind". I feel that "one of a kind" in lieu of "one and only" is a more modern and still accurate expression. It also is clearer in confirming the "oneness of Father, Son and Holy Spirit", the plurality within the Oneness of God. This is what Christians call "The Trinity of God" although that expression is not used in the Bible. God, obviously, does not have sex with humans. And no Christian believes that He does. A so-called, Christian contemporary of the Muslim Prophet, Muhammad, may have improperly explained the Gospel ("Good News") of Yeshua /Jesus to him. History documents that some of those calling themselves Christians in Arabia in the 7th Century were NOT truly Followers of Jesus. They had a poor understanding of the Christian Scriptures as nominal believers ...like some so-called Muslims, then and now. The cult to which some of these belonged and with whom Muhammad may have had contact or received reports about also believed that Jesus had sex with Mary, a Follower of His. These nominal Christians were really pagans with an incomplete understanding of what followership of Jesus entailed. If Muhammad had not received this misinformation about what Christians believed, He would not have recorded Qur'an 5:116, 6:101, 19:35, 19:88-91, 23:88-89 nor similar passages that deny Jesus

  • For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

      When we believe this, 1 John 5: 11-13 at ? says we are guaranteed to spend eternity with God because of what Yeshua/Jesus did (past tense) for us. He paid the full penalty for our sin nature and sins when He by His choice and willingly gave up His life on a cross (torture instrument) for those who believe in His gift and "Good news" of salvation through Him with His and our heavenly Father.
  • For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

      The Bible in more than one place makes clear that human beings live only one life. It says there is no reincarnation during whicch we can strive and work to be better to earn reconciliation with God. At the end of our one life on earth, we each will be held accountable for everything we've done here during it. And God will not measure our relative goodness for we "...all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". (Romans 6:3) In deciding whether we can and will spend eternity with Him in heaven, or heavenly Father only will check on our relationship with and followership of Yeshua/Jesus of Nazareth, God Incarnate (God with us) ...His eternal Son. Our eternal fate will depend solely on whether or not trusted in Yeshua/Jesus to have paid the full penalty for our sinful nature and sins on His cross when he died for the degradating behaviour of every human being who ever did, is or will live!
