Subjects.

WHY CAN'T YOU OVERCOME SOME OF YOUR SINS?

Why are many Christians spiritually frustrated?
Who or what are your enemies, and how are you to do battle against them?
Why are so many loosing the battle and when will they start winning?
Why do many Scriptures regarding victory over the flesh seem to not apply to you?
Has God called you only to become a failure in life?
When and how will things ever change in your spiritual life?
Do you need to learn more doctrines to better argue the Scriptures with others?
Is there a way to know how God views your spirituality right now, today?

I know I need to hear his teaching on this. Bob

This is a great thread and I've read and re-read several times.  I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I have moments I think I know the answer.  How does God view our spirituality right now?  WITH LOVE!!!  I have my moments of fear and lack of faith but deep inside I believe with all my heart that God is Love.  We work at being Christlike and we fail.  Just keep trying!  We were created to be imperfect.  How else could we learn and grow?  We aren't Christ Himself.  We are given challenges to overcome and we will often fail.  We must not lose faith and give up on ourselves.  I know I will never achieve perfection in this body.  You have often been here for me and I want to be here for you but the whole thing is so clean and simple and pure if you just chalk it up to love.  Don't give up on yourself because it ain't over till it's over.  God loves you and we love one another.  I don't have a fraction of the love and patience of our Father but I love you all and have faith in you.  None of us will totally overcome the flesh in this life but we will be cleansed when the day comes for our new life.  Just keep your eyes on the goal and love, love, love.

Judy, I love you  and I have been there done that before. When, we feel unloved it is easy to harden the heart. Just, remember God loves you like no one else can. When someone treats me like they do not love me instead of hardening my heart now, I ask God to help me to love like he does. Teach me to love those who do not love me back. That, is a hard thing for sure.  Most, people pick and choose who they love. I have been like that before. But, when God can help us love the unloveable I feel like I am learning to love like him. Keep on hanging in there Judy. We can really beat ourself up , when we see all our flaws and we hate them. But, God has the power to remove our flaws and it is a painful process for sure.

In His Love,
Marlene

Hi all. I read this on the bus on my way to work in the morning and that was really great! I was filled with joy by reading this. God bless you all!

Dave in Tenn:
Agreed, Bob.

Since learning about the topics, I've been trying to make bets with myself on whether any of those questions Ray hopes to tackle are answered correctly and scripturally by the various churches. 

I'm betting 'no'. 

So far, no part of myself is willing to take the other side of the bet.
