I appreciate how Paul tells us these thing happened for examples of what not to do. He states there isn 't any sin that tempts us that is not new. So ck what happened tonsomeone else when they did it and learn from their lessons what not to do.
When we sin deliberately, it attracts destroyers and the wroth of God. Sin might look enjoyable but it kills so the word of God admonishes us to consciously by grace abstain from sin.
I don 't blame any one who doesn 't eat what i eat, for me i eat for Christ and if also another one doesn 't eat for Christ, why should blame him? Everything i eat i pray to be purified by the blood of Jesus and thanks.
So do Christians believe that they actually eat the flesh and blood of christ because..god says partake this for this is my flesh and this is my blood. actually flesh and blood? Or a representation?
One important point in this chapter is that even thou an idol in itself has no power, but behind the idol is demonic forces. Once entered into that realm, one is under the forces of darkness. We should shun every appearance and possibly of evil. No one is invincible.
God is telling us that if we are his then we are to teach his people and be in him.Not teach and speak then in the same instance ready to receive the bitter cup
vs 14 Paul has a beautiful and passionate desire for the brethren, followers of Christ, referring to the readers as Dearly Beloved. The Lord loves us so much and wants us to love Him and place no person, place or thing before Him...Paul also wants Jesus to be magnified and honored as the True and living God, and thus he makes this plea.
This just goes to show how this sin is able to spread itself affecting the masses. One thing that many of us may see as a small thing can destroy nations in one sweep due to it 's promise and lie of satisfaction.
To Tina, yes God will put more on you than you can bare, if you are not a Christian. If you are not a Christian, then it is entirely possible to have more than you can bare to be put on you. Even then God is waiting on the side lines for you to accept Jesus as your Savior, as way of escape.
God is faithful in our lives so that we should believe in him that every trials he will take us through, and give us power from his word to live victory life overcoming darkness
No temptation or sin, can we always find a way of ESCAPE! I find I cant "always " find a way of escape, why is this? Would this be a normal weakness, as we all are sinners and fall short of the glory of God. Taking the scripture literally we could all be sin free! Blessings!!!
I believe paul is saying that we should do our best to avoid offending people in general. Although when Paul would preach Jesus people would be offended because they believed in Moses. Only when it is absolutely necessary you must stand for truth. But if not it is better to avoid offending so that they might listen to you and hear the word that will save there souls.
This scripture made me 2 understand d God allow us 2 pass through some challenges so as 2 bring out d best in us. As gold can only bring out its best after it must av passed through d process of fire
Gloria Pray 3 12 2014 32 Give none offence neither to the Jews nor to the Gentiles nor to the church of God Give all thanks unto God in all your doing because without him it would not can not be possible Blessing to the Father Son and Holy Spirit
Ruth We all fall but our failure lies in failing to rise after a fall Our Creator knows all our weaknesses and there lies no strength in ourselves To find Jesus is to find yourself and strength Matthew 6 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you Start by seeking Salvation When you find it all other things would be taken care off
Let no man seek his own good but the good of his neighbor We should do all we can to make our neighbor wealthy by imparting some wisdom in life that will help him to get ahead The Lord will always bless you when you put the needs of your neighbor ahead of your own That is what the Lord requires of us to do justly love mercy and walk humbly before the Lord When we do this the Lord will reward us with many blessings more than we can hold
Tina there are some trials that we go through often make us doubt in anger we tends to say things that we really don t mean the word common means the old mans life style like drinking if you use to drink a lot in the past and now you are a born again Christian well the enemy with tests and trials will bring drinking as a tempter to you during youre test But God will see you through He want never let you down or leave you and if you cant fight then God will fight He is your strength He is a strong tower and the righteous run in and are saved when we call upon HIS GREAT NAME Jesus Jesus Jesus satan has to flee God is not a tempter and He cant be tempted but the devil tried just as he is trying you the word of God says resist the devil and he has to flee We all are going to go through some trials weather we be Christians or not Jesus had to bare his cross and so should we now if you were never a drinker then a beer could not tempt you that would be considered uncommon to you and if you could not resist the tempter then God will provide you with a way to escape the tempter
