I try to live by the fruit of the spirit. But, it takes constant prayer and faith. I lived by the works of the flesh for years and it didn't get me very far. But thanks to Jesus, I'm on my way to a better and more fulfilling life!!!

I attempt to live by the Spirit but as a human it's impossible... like Paul says :"I do what I do not want to do"... all I can do is have faith that God will help in times of temptation and lead me in the right direction... if I should fail, then I know I must ask for forgiveness... however, feeling constantly guilty about sins will only make me commit those sins more... i think it's more important that we consider our reactions to those sins.

Okay well sex is fine everyone gets angry, it's a natural urge, I happen to be a witch, and I've quarreled with many a person. However I do live by love and patience and kindness. Self control, yes, in your opinion no.

there are such relatively some doctrines floating around, many that are fake, meaning they don't seem to be taught or pronounced interior the bible. for this reason, one that purely recognizes what's taught interior the Bible is a bible believing Christian. that would additionally word to real Christians for my section, nonetheless, all of us thinks they ar the real ones. at the same time as a Christian is understand by capacity of their end result (residing in a fashion transforming into to Christ) specifically situations it extremely is often tense to tell in the event that they placed on a good Sunday act. relatively, purely God is conscious the guts of who're real Christians, as we mere people, are actually not able to this.

First the flesh. Then I repent. Next I do the fruit thing.......until something fleshy happens. Wash Rinse Repeat

Both. After all they are ALL parts of the human psyche. To deny half of what makes one human is very destructive.
Sure, reign in those aspects that are less pleasant, but deny them? Never.

a christian man goes to church and daydreams of fishing a spiritual man goes fishing and daydreams of God. christianity is run on sin fear guilt shame and is control driven, spirituality runs on peace love joy and is heart driven. spirituality comes from the heart christianity comes from the bible and man you are born spiritual.
dear you whouldnt know spirituality if it bit you in the ***.
