Mainly, sin is a product of the fallen nature,and a rebellious action by the sinner. It is not approved of by God, and is why Jesus came to be the substitute. Ok...but, in certain cases, God uses the sinner for a purpose.Like, at first glance, we look at Judas,and we would think he's the biggest traitor of all time.But ,it was all part of a plan.If Judas DIDN'T turn Jesus in, and Jesus didn't go to the cross, we'd all go to Hell!!And those Roman soldiers, and the Jews who clamored for the crucifixion..sure, they did it with sinful intent,BUT, again, God controls foreordained circumstances, so, even though the devil might have "stirred them up", it was part of "the plan",and again, if they didn't do that, Jesus would have "walked", but WE would've gone you know where!!Even with the Antichrist, look how many people get saved because their eyes are opened.So my point, although some sins are "random" and don't affect too much in the bigger picture,also by these examples it would bear out that some sinners are used by God for a purpose,and if it's part of Gods plan, in the bigger picture, though they're still doing it with sinful intent,good comes out of it. Eh?

So what you are telling me is that you have absolutely no strength in Jesus, right? In Jesus have mercy on me, I don't know how to count this as joy especially someone seeming to steal from me! Did they steal from you Lord Jesus by stealing from me? Oh the shame, stealing from your child! In Jesus have mercy on me, convict them to replace what they are taking from me, from You, all in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!
If you don't learn how to count all your life's situations as joy, everyone is going to be able to steal from you Steven. If they steal from you, who said that they would reward you for that? Isn't it Jesus who repays us if someone steals from us?

No not steal, I dealt with them before I think just a bad break ---but on top of other disapointments...for some reason, you find it easier to be "content" with disapointments, obstacles, etc.Like one Christian overcomes something easily , another has more of a problem with it...

I explained how to handle your lifes situations with Jesus, didn't I? Lord Jesus i have a problem with counting my neighbor being up at 3 am making noise and I don't want to nor do I know how to count it as joy, please Lord Jesus help me to count it as joy so that I will have strength in You, all in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!
We list our lifes situations, we give them to Jesus, we trust Jesus to take care of them so we Thank Him and Praise Him for doing so, yes even in advance and that is not lying.

No one is happy all the time, its not easy, but
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Philippians 4:4
The Lord used many sinners who turned their lives around. Saul is only one example. He can use anyone, anytime he wants he is almighty and the ruler of the universe.
BTW- I'm praying that we can all get along. God loves us all despite our differences. We sometimes have to agree to disagree. Free speech is great. Love is greater. It's not easy, but it's God's command.
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34-35
Dear Heavenly Father, help us to remember that we are children of God. Help us to respect and honor and love each other even if we don't feel like it. Remind us that feeling come and go, but if we remain in you, you will remain in us . In Jesus name. Amen.

Yes, especially if that is how you feel my friend. I don't feel that way for I truly love you with the Love of Jesus.

There are those on the site who have "flare-ups" with each other, and sometimes it gets a little intense, but usually it's for a time or 2, then passes over . You and me, this bickering back and forth has lasted longer than any of them. A few times a third person has noticed it, and told us, it's not right.Like there's definately "friction" between us.

That is really sad that you feel that way Steven. I don't feel that way and like I stated every time you post anything I'm going to ask you if you have learned how to count it all as joy and I'm going to let others know that you think that they are masochists in your eyes for counting everything and anything as joy my friend!

Yeah sooner or later I'll have to wind up blocking you.
Fast and pray daily for all sinners you see around. Jesus will hear from heaven and save those lost souls. Spammers, hackers and those who are so alone in the world, need the Lord. Save them o Lord we pray. Amen
