@@Knighty-hr2dw I think there is confusion over your first line. "Lord, help us when we feel tempted to choose you over sin" I think it becomes clear if you add a comma. "Lord, help us when we feel tempted, to choose you over sin". I think they are pointing out that feeling tempted to choose God over sin is nonsensical. But that clearly isn't what you meant.

Here are a couple other verses that people always seem to take out of context: 1) "I can do all things through him who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13). The context of this verse is contentment. Through Christ we CAN be content in ALL circumstances. 2) "He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it" (1 Thessalonians 5:24). The context of this verse is our sanctification. God will sanctify. 3) "For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God" (Romans 8:14). Led by the Spirit to do what? The context is mortifying the flesh. So if you are led by the Spirit of God to mortify the flesh than you are the sons of God. So many times I have seen these verses misused by people completely void of their context.

“God will not give you more than you can handle” sometimes God didn’t give you that “more” that your having to handle. Sometimes it’s us taking on the “more” that God never intended us to even have in the first place.
@Mikizushi2 жыл бұрын
I always wondered how do we determine what God “intended”? The idea in my experience has been used to I guess put blame on someone for not doing this or that, as if things would be assured to happen differently (typically a more favorable outcome) if x person hadn’t done what they did, but instead, if they had done this other thing over here. Which again isn’t guaranteed as much as it’s not guaranteed that even if we don’t do right that things will turn out poorly (at least for very long). I know how it’s used doesn’t change what it actually means, but that’s more or less what I’m asking about and trying to understand

I think part of the issue is the ambiguity of what people mean by "more than you can handle." What does not handling a situation look like? What are we talking about a person in such a situation doing? Being sad or stressed? Withdrawing from friends and family? Breaking the law? Abandoning God? Suicide? It can be useful to draw out what a person means by "not handling it," because what they're envisioning might, or might not, include giving into sinful temptations.

@7atgw Жыл бұрын
It’s understandably a hard verse to ponder. Most of the time we feel what we have on our plate is too much to handle, yet we survive. We often sin, not because we don’t have an out, but because we react too quickly to think and ponder the consequence of our decision. Sin is so natural to us that we forget to even fight against it, or consider a way out of it. If we are honest with ourselves (I’m sure I’m not the only one) many times that way of escape crosses our minds, but the temptation quickly snuffs out the reasoning. Sanctification surely comes with experience and practice which is why we must confess our failure constantly to God.

Then it seems its been making me even stronger when I do that. I use to feel there is no way I will see the kingdom of God with my Sins even though I love Christ. Then realized that yes I believe Jesus is my savor. Also realize that the Bible is my map book to know Gods will for my life to stay on his path, that will help me and be strong from my sins to help others. Thank you and God bless to help me realize: Yes I am saved and God has me in mind with his word, so I don’t loose my ability to walk away from him.

Amen. Every time I have fallen was because of me choosing to sow to the flesh instead of the Spirit - even if that decision happened in a split second. There can never be a single excuse and the corruption of my relationship with God has ALWAYS been though choice and NEVER because God allowed me to be tempted beyond my means of escape. As Sarah says in these comments, may we increasingly live through this life with lenses fixed on Jesus and eternity as opposed to anybody or anything else.

Also, there's a difference between what a person is willing to endure, and what a person is actually able to endure. For example, sometimes when we exercise and they're doing repetitions, we can sometimes say the words "I can't do anymore", and the coach or trainer is pushing the person to go further. The truth is, the person actually can do more, but may not be willing to do more. There's a difference between what our perceived limitation is, and our actual limitation. Sometimes when we really can't go any further and are truly out of strength, that's when God's strength rises in us.
