who wants to engage my post #686 ?
Who cares for the meaning of words?
In post 696 above, we were challenged to engage post 686--so I copied/pasted 686 to my sticky notes to study again, because I love the meaning of words, and was excited when he used the word
homework, but knowing I would be like a deer in the headlights if asked to enter-in discussing anything but the
Shemitah--since reading
The Mystery of the Shemitah [Johnathan Cahn], years ago, I stayed up last night doing a 'simple study' again; so I would be able to explain what I think I understand.
Especially:
Why, in Romans 7 does Paul say...sin revived and I died?
Since he told me years ago that I was 'half-baked', I've come to understand what he meant and so very much more, especially now regarding The Social Gospel. More times than not, I take what correction/warning he bestows on others as to myself FWIW this simple sister finds no faults in his teaching and fulfillment of his calling...
Philippians 1:3-11
King James Version
3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.
11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
