Thanks for joining in the meme. God's peace--so awesome. My favorite vesr you quoted sums up what its all about:

"For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." Romans 8:6

You said: "The issue here is that a thought doesn't make you h/s. Entertaining these thoughts (you referred to h/s lust) does.

Being tempted doesn't make you h/s. Thinking about the temptation rather than immediately using the Word of God against it (as Jesus did), means you are entertaining the idea. When you start entertaining the idea and accepting the idea, it usually leads a person to believe they must be h/s."

Yes! That's pretty much all I've been trying to say here. I'm glad we have an understanding now. :)

As for Chris, he's said that he agrees with me, so I guess that's what he thinks, too. I think he worded his original statement very poorly, though, and I think that's what started it.

The only place I can be guaranteed to find peace is to get alone with God and His Word (usually my room is the quietest place.)
Enjoyed all the Scriptures! Blessings, Theresa

Thanks for clearing that up. I think we're good now, now that we understand each other. :)

That was neat to see all those written out, I love biblegateway. Isn't it interesting that God always had a PEACE plan already in place?

I think I may have to shine a light on that and link you here :)
