Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18 who have wandered away from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some.

1 Timothy 1:18-20
18 This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, 19 having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck, 20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.

I have a will, Christ has a will. Only one can be at work in me at a time. My personality [sole personality] is sinful. Christ's is not. He identifies me with Himself, and therefore perceives not the sinful flesh [all of who I am apart from Him]. So I have decided to view myself the same way, through His eyes.

That's great!

Now, before you and Fred steal another ipod,( :chuckle: ) you might want to consider godrulz's advice:

Take responsibility for your own actions.

even if you don't swallow all his theology ... though a good dose might do you good.

Lighthouse, my brother (B), you have a good heart! And my only caution to you is that in this matter you might want to have your head follow your heart, because as a man thinks in his heart so is he. All I’m saying is that while you play with their ideas and even if you adopt some as your own, don’t catch their spirit. It causes nothing but dissention.

I said too much. I’ll bow out of this discussion for a while. It harms my spirit.

In love,
Philetus

I would think that you non-weak Christians would understand some of the basic stuff such as Jeffrey Dahmer did indeed have sin.

Jeffery Dahmer did not have life. He was just being his old dead self.

I never said that. You may have said it but I didn't. I may have agreed with your assessment of yourself but that was not my idea.

It doesn't seem like there is much of a difference... :plain:

e4e, here's what it's like talking to you.



Poly: They chopped down that tree.

e4e: No, they cut threw a trunck and the tree fell down.

Poly: That's what I said.

e4e: No, you sayed they choped down that tree. They actualy cut threw a trunck cawsing which is the reeson why tree fell.

Poly: Ok, they cut through a trunk which caused a tree to fall. That's the same thing as saying it was chopped down.

e4e: Why do you keep focising on the tree being choped down why can't you not see that it fell becuse to the trunck being cut.

Poly: We are saying the same thing.

e4e: Is the tree still alive?

Poly: Uh, no. If it's been chopped down it can't be alive.

e4e: How can you say its not alive but won't can't beleeve that the trunck has been cut?

Poly: :freak:
