Are you still messing up? Look at Paul

So you are mature AND sinless? In word, thought AND deed?

J.

Maturity is attained at the end of life. But I walk by the Spirit, and I have gained control over my mind, so yes, righteous in thought and deed. It's not as difficult as post-apostolic Christianity makes it out to be. Jesus' commandments are not burdensome.

[1Jo 3:23-24 NASB95] 23 This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us. 24 The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

[1Jo 5:3 NASB95] 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.​

Don't evaluate me by your experiences, but acknowledge the scriptures for what they say. I have the Holy Spirit, and he alerts me to what I need to know.

I'm not evaluating you by my experiences. I am holding you to the conclusion of your own statements.

That was for post #55.

Well I've given you quite a bit of scripture, and you've mostly reciprocated with opinion, so I'm not sure how you think you're holding me to anything but your own opinion.

When your memory is short it helps to reread the exchange of posts. Hopefully that gives an accurate perspective on what has been said.

It’s a great thing that God gave us a conscious. To reason, to think and to choose.
