I am not trying to control anyone or anything, just making statements that are simple, and plain and easy to understand.
If you or anyone else gets frustrated I apologize for your frustration that the word of God that I am quoting is causing. But the word is the standard for truth, and thats why I quote it, it stops the nonsense and people have to either become very dishonest with me, which is easy to see on a thread or they rationalize, or they lie or they try and change the subject or throw out some other subject that is not even relevant to what I am saying.
I am very simple, not complex, very straight forward and do not water the word down, I speak what it says and let it do its work.
Because:
Hbr 4:12 For the word of God [is] quick (living), and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner (critic) of the thoughts and intents (motivations) of the heart.
Matthew 5:48
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect
Strange that the Bible urges us to the impossible.
Especially since we began as perfect and if the following is true, never lose it.
You just have to try to grasp that we are all evolving perfection.
Deuteronomy 32:4
He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Matthew 7:18
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Unless of course you prefer to thing that God, the good tree, produces corrupt works/us.
