Growth “HOW SERIOUS IS THIS MATTER OF “SPIRITUAL ADULTERY”?

[iLOVE]

This is the point I’m asking you to explain a little.

How do we go about maintaining our faith?


JLB

This is carried out by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:2).

 

[JLB]

that scripture in Jude pretty well covers it all it takes using our faith the holy spirit gives us the power

Praying in the Spirit is a specific action that we must employ in order to build ourselves up on our most holy faith.

We enter the work of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21).

The works of the flesh is sin.

Please post scripture(s).

Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar?
James 2:21


The “work” that James did was to obey God.


That’s how justification by faith works.

You jumped in with your word

how did i jump in with my word? look having a conversation with you on any thing connected to our salvation. will end up a discussion on lose of it.... thats not necessarily a bad thing . but among the wrong type people it creates strife .. can you can you not.. i look at this way yes i can have a wreck driving at any moment . but if i practice safe driving the odds decrease .of course we also have to watch out for the other person.. so maintaining our faith is a excellent subject . at my job with our set ups once a month on the machines they are in charge of. they do what they call p.m preventive maintenance. paul talked about this in Corinthians
2 Corinthians 13:4-6 King James Version (KJV)
4 For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.

5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.

the corporation heads look at the p.m program as is the machine well maintained when break downs occur .. in closing i heard a preacher say it this way if we will do our part God will do his .. i do fail but i try to do my part . i know if i fail i know i have a advocate and i can approach the throne of grace 24/7 . i know i can repent work at doing better and if i fail again i can repeat the process over
O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalm 136:1

 

[JLB]

so maintaining our faith is a excellent subject .

I agree. It’s an excellent subject.
