I pray every single day that Jesus will teach me how to be more like Him and to do His will always. I read His Word daily to learn from His example. Teachers like Paul are wonderful, but I always look to what God and Jesus say to me first. However, I do learn from Paul's example of the love and devotion that results in trusting Jesus.

13 No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. (1 Cor 10:13). The temptation may seem overwhelming and crushing, but it is easily overcome through Christ. Don't fall into a shame cycle, go to your Christian brothers/sisters. Confession is a key component to picking yourself up again and moving on!

⚠️ Questions Christians Can't Answer! ➕ ISLAMIC TEACHINGS IN THE BIBLE IGNORED BY CHRISTIANS 😨 SINNERS WILL BE PUNISHED FOR THEIR CRIMES 😨 ⚠️ 🔹Romans 2 : 6 God will render to each person 🚶🏼‍♀️ 🚶🏼according to his deeds🔹🔸2 Corinthians 5 : 1 0 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad🔸🔹Revelation 2 0 : 1 2 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds🔹🔸Colossians 3 : 2 5 For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done🔸🔹Ezekiel 18 : 2 0 - 2 2 The wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them🔹⚠️ JESUS CAN NOT SAVE ANYBODY ⚠️ EZEKIEL 1 8 : 2 0 - 2 2 has got the solution for our sins : which means we do not need to believe Jesus died for your sins by instructing us : “But if a wicked person turns away from all the sins they have committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and right, that person will surely live; they will not die. 22 None of the offenses they have committed will be remembered against them. Because of the righteous things they have done, they will live.😊 THE MESSAGE BY JESUS IS CLEAR JUST REPENT & THEN DO GOOD 😊⚠️ Mark 1 2: 2 9 - 3 1 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one This bible verse proves Jesus is telling the people our lord is one: that means he ( Jesus ) is human like us & not God. Some Christians might say there are many bible verses which mention Jesus is the son of God, but the truth is if we read the following verse then we are all Gods : Galatians 3 :2 6 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith.⚠️ Christians CLAIM Jesus is GOD ✝️👂🏼 Listen every CHRISTIAN Please answer this, when JESUS was begging for HELP after being put on the cross, WHO was he crying out to O God O God why have you forsaken me if he is GOD ❓ lf Jesus is God then why does God need HELP ❓ .⚠️ If God died on the cross then who was running the WORLD & who brought God back alive ❓ And if Jesus was willingly dying for our sins then why was he begging God to save him ❓⚠️ If the ONLY way for SALVATION is to believe Jesus died for our sins then what will happen to all those people who have died before Jesus came in this WORLD 🤔 According to the christianity BELIEF THEY WILL ENTER HELL🔥🔥🔥 Jesus said Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.Matthew 5 : 1 7 THAT MEANS SAME RULES : So why then would Jesus come out with a different LAW : The TRUTH is he did not.

In this video Piper discusses the kind of person you should imitate, which, undoubtedly, requires free choice. But in a previous video, Piper answers the question of how much of our daily life is sovereignly directed by God; and his answer, “All of it, down to the tying of your shoelaces and the brushing of your teeth.” Piper then goes on to say,” We are free in the sense we can choose but ultimately God governs what we choose.” So, if God governs what we choose then how is it possible that we have the choice to imitate anyone? Clearly, this is just another Calvinistic inconsistency.

Please, don't see this as an attack, but as a respectful question. Isn't your eagerness to discuss Calvinism overshadowing the command of God's Word when He invites us through Paul to imitate Christ? Maybe those discussions make up for very good intelectual exercise, but shouldn't we be looking for spiritual advice on how to live with Him rather than trying to find inconsistencies in eachother's take on lesser matters?

@@henriqueamaral2605 I agree whole heartedly that the believer should be encouraged to imitate both Paul and the Lord Jesus but this does not excuse or give cause to ignore the inconsistencies of Calvinism. We are told to worship God in spirit and truth and if we allow and accept inconsistent teaching then we are not worshipping in truth. Calvinism’s inconsistencies become clearly apparent when Reformed pastors like Piper teach sound doctrine in one instance and then teach contradictory Calvinistic doctrine in another and it is this point that I was drawing attention to in my previous comment. God’s Word is alive and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword. It is without error and there are no inconsistencies so when a particular teaching is found to be inconsistent with other passages of Scripture then we know the Word is not being rightly divided. This is why I draw attention to Piper’s inconsistent and erroneous teaching that all of our daily life is sovereignly directed by God, down to the tying of your shoelaces and the brushing of your teeth.

@@gregjay9933 I see where you're coming from, but again this issue sounds to me as a smaller problem. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Romans 14 dealing exactly with this (though not directly)? Paul says that we shouldn't fight over lesser matters, stating that if one's conscience is fully certain that he can't, for example, eat meat, then we shouldn't harrass them for not doing it, because they glorify God like that as much as those who eat meat for His glory. There are great logical inconsistencies in both Calvinism and Arminianism, but that's what they are: logical. As christians, we know that our faith isn't at all logical to men, and not always our experiences with God are logical, because He is able to do the impossible.

@@henriqueamaral2605 Inconsistent Bible teaching should not be compared to the situation of eating meat that has been offered to idols. There is no situation where inconsistent or contradictory Bible teaching should be considered acceptable. It is no surprise that inconsistent teaching by Calvinists is viewed as ‘a smaller problem’ because all 5 points of TULIP can easily be refuted by many passages of Scripture. I am neither a Calvinist nor Arminian because they both teach some error. If a person identified as Arminian posted inconsistent teaching then I would highlight that error also. Paul: He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.

@@gregjay9933 Well, ultimately, God knows what we will choose, but we are still free to choose what we want to. For example, supoose there are two chocices, A and B. If you choose A, God foreknew you would choose A. If you choose B, God foreknew you would choose B. In a sense, our choices determine what God knows before hand. Hence we still have free will though God knows the outcome, just like watching a basketball game a day later means you know the outcome of the game but that dosen't stop the players from freely playing.

This is a Lie! Jesus Said To Seek HIM and HIS Righteousness! Jesus is the Only One Who Can Tell You who He wants You to Be! We are to Seek and Trust God..Alone! We are Not to make idols of people. This is the sin of OT and NT people..worshipping idols..instead of God! We are all individuals! Jesus Never Told us to copy Men! Jesus wants us Seeking HIM and HIM Alone..for our Identity. Paul and Piper are anti-Christ.
