Yes, those that love and keep his commandments, who denies that? I can tell you that
without God's Spirit you cannot please God.
Answer my question please, or do you deny Him?
What "please[s] God" is that one ceases to sin.

When one does not even have the courage to take one's own advice, this serves to make this advice seem questionable. When one berates others for not taking the advice that they themselves do not take, it shows them to be a hypocrite of the first order.
Personal questions ARE a litmus test for the validity of such advice AND the integrity of the advice-giver.
What do you have, in you?
It's not about taking MY "advice" or taking RAJK999's "advice" for that matter.
It's primarily been about taking Jesus' "advice". That's just a fact.

Then they inquired, “What must we do to perform the works of God?” Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.” So they asked Him, “What sign then will You perform, so that we may see it and believe You? What will You do?Our forefathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

This seems to have little if anything to do with the point of my post.

Originally posted by @dj2beckerThe will of God is that people FOLLOW the commandments of His Son, rather than profess belief only.

This is the reason why Jesus said that only those who follow his commandments will enter the kingdom of God.
ToO personal life and beliefs have nothing to do with the truth as stated by Jesus Christ.

Poor critical thinking skills.
Poor conceptual thinking skills.
Aversion to the truth.
An inability to be honest with oneself no less others.
Aversion to the gospel preached by Jesus during His ministry.
It seems that many if not all of the above are required to be able to delude oneself into believing in "salvation by faith alone".
Is it any wonder that it renders them incapable of rational discussion?
Originally posted by @rajk999From someone who is always personal, you saying that is laughable.
Personal questions are simply your way of not dealing with the issue. What ToO believes has no relevance to what Jesus preached about the importance of keeping his commandments.
Those who keep the commandments have Gods Spirit in them.
Those who profess to know Christ and do not keep the commandments have nothing.
They have a spirit of evil or satan in them

You are in the wrong place lady. This is why Paul told you people to shut up. This is a discussion forum. You want to find about about people personal lives then go to church or join a group or facebook where you can discuss each others lives in great detail. ToO's personal life is of no consequence to what Jesus preached... moron.

What "please[s] God" is that one ceases to sin.
Answer my question is Jesus Christ your Lord and savior?
You ashamed of Jesus?
