Read 1st Corinthians 8
Is what I’m saying wholesome, fitting, self-controlled, and consistent with representing Christ or am I just looking for a technical excuse to say whatever I want?
Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
@THOMASROYBURP@burgbengal@diegopavia02 I’m not playing a “gotcha” but I really wish people would think about what Christianity and what our lives look like.
I’m a sinner but I never justify or condone my sins.
From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.
-Matthew 4:17
To repent means more than simply saying, “I’m sorry.” In the Bible, repentance means recognizing that you are wrong, turning away from sin, and turning toward God in faith and obedience.
The Greek word often translated repent is metanoeō (μετανοέω), meaning to change one’s mind or thinking. But biblical repentance doesn’t stop in the mind. A genuine change of mind produces a change of direction.
What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
- Romans 6:1-3
@burgbengal@diegopavia02 Sure, let’s go Constance.
What you’re doing though is exactly what Adam and Eve did in the garden of Eden, justifying sin.
I may be in and out getting ready for Church. Are you going today?
@burgbengal@diegopavia02 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
Colossians 3:8
@ontargethoops@diegopavia02 Jesus preached repentance and rebirth, not hyper grace. Jesus ate with sinners, He didn’t condone their lifestyle.
Read Romans 6, John 3, and Matthew 7.
@MattTiger81@gray_mann21 Considering his background and what he came from, football doesn’t define him but his faith, drive, and personality does. That’s what made him 11.5 million a year
Some people just have it and he’s one of them.
