<p>Please Read ROMANS CHAPTER 6; 1-23</p>
<p>11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through through Jesus Christ our <strong>“Lord”</strong></p>
<p>For my own views , It means were already dead unto sin, without Us knowing it, “slowly dying”</p>

<p>Please Read ROMANS CHAPTER 6; 1-23</p>
<p>11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through through Jesus Christ our <strong>“Lord”</strong></p>
<p>For my own views , It means were already dead unto sin, without Us knowing it, “slowly dying”</p>
<p>12 Let not sin therefore reign in your “Mortal Body” that ye should obey it in the “Lust” thereof</p>
<p>In the passage of the Bible the “Lust”</p>
<p>1 John 2: 16-17</p>
<p><strong><sup>16 </sup></strong>For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.</p>
<p><strong><sup>17 </sup></strong>And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.</p>
<p>Then in the same Chapter 1 John Chapter 2; 1</p>
<p>My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, “<strong>we have an advocate with Father, Jesus Christ the righteous</strong>”;</p>
<p>St. John 14; 1</p>
<p>1 Let not your heart be troubled ye <strong>believe</strong> in God, <strong>believe</strong> in me also</p>
<p>For me I believe in God First, the in <strong>“Lord”</strong> Jesus</p>
<p>Then how do we know the way or to <strong>believe</strong>?</p>
<p>14; 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me</p>
<p>So its clear that don’t ignore or by pass Jesus as the “<strong>Lord</strong>” to the Father or God.</p>
<p>1 John chapter 1; 1-10 I recommend to read all the chapter 1</p>
<p>That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ</p>
<p><strong>All for One and One for All</strong> or <strong>Us</strong>, its not too late that we are “united as One”</p>
<p>8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in <strong>us</strong></p>
<p>9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse <strong>us</strong> from all unrighteousness</p>
<p>10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar and his word is not in <strong>us</strong></p>
<p>Romans Chapter 6; 23</p>
<p>For the wages of sin is <strong>death</strong>; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our “<strong>LORD</strong>”</p>
<p>I have my own beliefs of the word LORD and believing through Lord Jesus</p>
<p>I don’t know what is the “gift” of God means or you need to believe through Lord Jesus teachings and commandments and the <strong>Eternal life</strong> is the opposite of <strong>Death.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>I think or reason its not too late to unite as " ONE" For God through Lord Jesus of THE BIBLE.</strong></p>
<p>John 10 read all the chapter; 30</p>
<p><strong>I and my Father are One</strong></p>
<p><strong> AMEN.</strong></p>

I'm really struggling, until about a year ago I was a staunch atheist and lived my life without regard for the lord. However I met a missionary who spoke to me in the street and told me of his love, ever since then I've wanted to put right my relationship with god. I've been feeling drawn to the church, like I have to go in and ask for forgiveness.<br />

I went to a church a few days ago and I sat and was about to pray, I was going to say sorry and express my regret for the things that I've done, however I couldn't do it. In that moment I knew that I was not worthy of gods love and that the things I have done are unforgivable. How can I embrace him when I am unworthy?

<p>I am being 100% honest with all community members here with a few issues I am struggling with. I backslid last year, unfortunately it is embarrassing that I did, and I have repented last year and began to do everything I can to do to build my relationship with God from that point on. </p>
<p>1) Can we commit blasphemy by ignoring the Holy Spirit's warnings, I feel like I have because my life has basically fallen apart as a result of consequences from backsliding. Nothing is the same, I have lost everything. I am ashes now. Waiting for God to build something out of this wreck of my own creation. </p>
<p>2) I feel bad about my sins and sinning so is that a sign of God drawing me back, and I have not committed this sin? </p>
<p>3) can God rebuild and restore when we have (not meaning to) created destruction in our lives as a result of sin? </p>
<p>4) I am sure I would not feel this way without the results/consequences of my sin, I would have been able to move on more easily. thoughts?</p>
<p>5) My business is failing, lost my health, and peace and joy in my home with family etc. Am I being tested? Or have I just ruined everything? </p>
<p>Thanks I appreciate every thought and even prayers for emotional, spiritual, and physical restoration in my families life. Thank you so much. </p>
<p>the thing is now that I have gone through this, I can look at Jesus' sacrifice and cry because I see what he did for me, I can feel what he did for me. I grew up knowing about God from a young, young age, I do not wish to break his heart, or take Jesus sacrifice for granted, like I did in the past, or not fully appreciate or understand how amazing and awesome, this sacrifice truly is. I feel like this was an eye opener for me. I just pray I have not completely messed up.

We all have ingrained habits we want to overcome. Let's say you are easily frustrated with certain people or get irritated during rush hour, you worry or are too introverted or too extroverted, have an issue keeping quiet...anything.<br />
<br />
You try and do better and try and try. You let a trespass go and keep a Godly attitude, yet beneath the surface it bothers you and you pray. Next time, you remain Godly when someone does you wrong or gets on your nerves, whatever. But you still feel that…

You try and do better and try and try. You let a trespass go and keep a Godly attitude, yet beneath the surface it bothers you and you pray. Next time, you remain Godly when someone does you wrong or gets on your nerves, whatever. But you still feel that irritation deep down and pray.<br />
<br />
If you vent your frustration, then you're not displaying a Godly attitude but if you keep squashing down your real feelings, aren't you building up a ticking time bomb inside?<br />
<br />
What's the best way to deal with these issues within yourself? What has worked for you where you genuinely overcame such an area where you didn't even have to choke a feeling down but just didn't experience it at all finally?

<p>I've read so many thoughts on forgiveness. Many people quote Matthew 5:23-24 <em>Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. </em> Some say this means you need to go and personally forgive someone who has wronged you.

<p>I've read so many thoughts on forgiveness. Many people quote Matthew 5:23-24 <em>Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. </em> Some say this means you need to go and personally forgive someone who has wronged you. Some say by using the word "brother", this is speaking of Christians and not those who are unsaved. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I read this verse where someone added in parenthesis: <em>that thy brother hath ought against thee</em> (or vice versa)...Really? Is that what this says?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Now forgiveness is vital cause if we don't forgive, God won't forgive us. I've often said I believe when Jesus said we're to forgive 70 x 7, that it wasn't <span style="text-decoration: underline;">just</span> meaning we forgive every time. There is scripture that says we're to do just that - <em><span class="text Luke-17-3"><span class="woj">Luke 17:3-4 “If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them.</span></span> <span id="en-NIV-25656" class="text Luke-17-4"><span class="woj">Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.”</span></span></em></p>
<p></p>
<p>But then we forgive and forgive and yet the hurt keeps cropping up and we ask ourselves...HAVE I forgiven, really forgiven? Corrie Ten Boom, who probably had more to forgive than any of us here might ever face, wrote:</p>
<p></p>
<blockquote><p>I recall the time, some 15 years ago, when some Christian friends whom I loved and trusted did something which hurt me. You would have thought that, having forgiven the Nazi guard, this would have been child's play. It wasn't. For weeks I seethed inside. But at last I asked God again to work His miracle in me. And again it happened: First the cold-blooded decision to obey, then the flood of joy and peace. I had forgiven my friends; I was restored to my Father.</p>
<p>Then why was I suddenly awake in the middle of the night, hashing over the whole affair again? My friends! I thought. People I loved! If it had been strangers, I wouldn't have minded so.</p>
<p>I sat up and switched on the light. "Father, I thought it was all forgiven! Please help me to do it!"</p>
<p>But the next night I woke up again. The negative thoughts returned. They'd talked so sweetly too! Never a hint of what they were planning. "Father!" I cried in alarm. "Help me!"</p>
<p>His help came in the form of a kindly pastor to whom I confessed my failure after two sleepless weeks. "Up in that church tower, " he said, nodding out the window, "is a bell which is rung by pulling on a rope. But you know what? After the sexton lets go of the rope, the bell keeps on swinging. First ding then dong. Slower and slower until there's a final dong and it stops.</p>
<p>"I believe the same thing is true of forgiveness. <strong>When we forgive someone, we take our hand off the rope. But if we've been tugging at our grievances for a long time, we mustn't be surprised if the old angry thoughts keep coming for a while. They're just the ding-dongs of the old bell slowing down."</strong></p>
<p>And so it proved to be. There were a few more midnight reverberations, a couple of dings when the subject came up in my conversation. But the force--which was my willingness in the matter--had gone out of them. They came less and less often and at last stopped altogether.</p>
</blockquote>
<p></p>
<p>But going back to Matthew 5:23-24, I believe this to mean exactly what it states: If you remember your brother has something <strong>against you</strong>, to go and be reconciled. And this because one book later, Mark 11:25 teaches us: <em>And when ye stand praying, forgive, <strong>if ye have ought against any</strong>: that your Father also which is in Heaven may forgive you your trespasses.</em></p>
<p></p>
<p>If we have something against someone we're to forgive, we're not told to go and be reconciled...they may not want reconciliation. They may not even believer there's anything to reconcile. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Scripture tells us to be wise and discerning. How many have tried to follow well meaning advice to go and tell someone who hurt them that they forgive them, just to have that person be offended in believing they had nothing to be forgiven for? If we're to try to keep peace with everyone, how would this be peaceful? Isn't that stirring up strife? It seems to me it would be pushing the hurt in the person's face. I mean....I just wanted you to know that you hurt me really bad, but I forgive you!???</p>
<p></p>
<p>When WE hurt others, I believe this is where Matthew is teaching us to let them know we're sorry. It's then their place to accept the apology or not. </p>
<p></p>
<p>But isn't a silent forgiveness of the person or the hurt to God often the better course of action when you are dealing with someone who has hurt you? Especially if it is purposeful, continuing, or there is a refusal to acknowledge they've done wrong?</p>
