Perpetual Sin

Is there something specific about your persona that entitles you to complain about someone else's persona while, at the same time, mentioning "Jesus" over and over again?

You're a thread killer.
And you're boring.
Bye.

You don't want to talk about your own abject hypocrisy. You are trying to hide behind Jesus in some sort of clumsy way.

-Removed-

You don't have to tell me anything, of course, because it could be too personal for this forum.

But anytime a Christian can admit to saying or acting in a manner that's a contradiction to scripture.....yet continue the behavior, is only fooling themselves. To follow the instructions of Jesus is to change the behavior that is known to be wrong, and not just shrug one's shoulder and dismiss it.

And yes.....I have been doing battle with excessive drinking (frowned upon in the Bible), but I can surely say that I don't merely dismiss it, and pretend all is okay. I'm admitting my fault and trying to correct it. I am repenting.

I'm trying. That doesn't excuse the past, but it brings hope for a better future.

Thanks.

Are you admitting to your hypocrisy? Are you trying to correct? Are repenting for it? Or are you, in fact, seeking to dismiss your hypocrisy by mentioning "excessive drinking"?

My post was self explanatory.
Thanks.

Why don't you focus on your own efforts to do this? Why not dissect what it is you are trying to do? Why not assess how successful you have been? Why instead are you fixated on someone else?

Your post is a dodge.

Are you admitting to your hypocrisy? Yes or no?
Are you trying to correct it? Yes or no?
Are repenting for it? Yes or no?

Bye FMF.

Do you really need to speak for dive, in a post addressed to him?

Enough already.

I am speaking to you about what you have and haven't said about yourself.

I am speaking to you about YOUR behaviour.

Why fixate on others?

Why don't you focus on your own efforts to follow Jesus?

Why not dissect what it is you are trying to do in order to follow Him?

Why not assess how successful you have been?

Why be so hypocritical?

This is a debate and discussion forum.

Don't try to tell me what I should and shouldn't discuss.

I am trying to be nice to you, despite not liking the way you post, or ask 20 questions. I disagree with your posting style, and I am not alone in that opinion.

More dodging the debate.

Are you admitting to your hypocrisy? Yes or no? So, it's no?
Are you trying to correct it? Yes or no? Another no?
Are repenting for it? Yes or no? Your answer is no?

You said "But anytime a Christian can admit to saying or acting in a manner that's a contradiction to scripture.....yet continue the behavior, is only fooling themselves.

Why don't you delve into this?
