Is it not a false witness to covenant to do or not do something and then break that covenant? Edited January 24, 2017 by Calm

No, it's weakness of the flesh. WoW is not supposed to be by way of commandment. Does anyone have the words to the baptism ordinance? It's says nothing about the WoW Wow sins are special. You can eat meat and 2 lbs of chocolate every night and still get a TR. False witness is to falsely accuse someone. Edited January 24, 2017 by rodheadlee 1

I bgive unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my cgrace is sufficient for all men that dhumble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make eweak things become strong unto them.
Revenant Angel Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Is there a kingdom where we can avoid 99.999999999% of the morons on this planet? I think being stuck with most of the idiots that inhabit Earth would be considered Hell. Poster removed

I have given this comment a lot of thought. In the end I agree with the statement, with this clarification: None of us on earth knows the eternal consequences of our choices. What God has revealed is minimal. I don't know what life looks like in any kingdom of glory, or even in outer darkness. I don't even know what "kingdom" means in this context. So, while I might know, based on my testimony, that obedience may bring something better [sooner rather than later?], I don't know much else beyond that. 2
