Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the strength of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. Strength/power and weakness/ infirmity are a major contrast in the last two chapters of 2 Corinthians. In this section Paul tells how he was given a thorn in the flesh so that he wouldn't exalt himself and become arrogant. Paul recognized there was a danger of that happening because of the visions and revelations he was receiving. Paul did pray over the course of three separate occasions that God would remove it from him. God's answer was " my grace is sufficient for you." God's power is perfected/accomplished in weakness. Paul's response is that he would gladly boast and rejoice in his weaknesses so that Christ's strength would dwell upon him. Paul says, "when I am weak, then I am strong." If we think we are strong, that is the time we are at our weakest. If there is a time or circumstance that we think we can handle, that's when we are at our lowest. Paul knew that his visions and revelations could be a source of pride and glory. God humbled Paul by giving him a thorn in the flesh so he would rely on God's grace. Post Reply
Teddyhug^ View Profile History	Strength in weakness Posted : 13 Jul, 2022 07:45 AM Great post OhioGrace! And like the last part of your forum name, His GRACE (pardon and POWER) is sufficient for us (as it was for Paul) and the true theme' of this thread and discussion! Even though we all suffer to some degree of 'reproaches, persecutions, distresses' and even physical health issues (again to some degree like Paul), we should know that because we live in a sinful world, not that we have to keep on sinning, its that suffering happens even to the BORN AGAIN RIGHTEOUS! Does that mean that miracles in healing do not exist (littledavid says they do not today and moonlight and I disagree with him) even today? OF COURSE NOT! BUUUUUUUUUUT IT HAS TO BE FATHER YHWH's WILL AND TIMING IF THOSE HEALINGS HAPPEN, OR EVEN HAPPEN at all to the saints while here on earth! Right? Post Reply
LittleDavid View Profile History	Strength in weakness Posted : 13 Jul, 2022 02:30 PM False teacher and heretic TeddyHug, once again, but ever so slyly, introduces the historical sinless perfectionism heresy that he has embraced since coming to the forums. Teddy believes that Jesus keeps him (Teddy) sinless and perfect each day just like Jesus was perfect and sinless. Teddy often misquotes Bible verses out of context in support of this false and heretical teaching. You can’t make this stuff up‼️ That’s one reason the false doctrine of Sinless Perfectionism was found heretical. Teddy also spreads anti-Trinity false teachings and other heresies. Teddy also believes eternal salvation security and life can be lost. But At the same time, Teddy believes Jesus keeps him sinless and perfect like Jesus BUT JESUS can’t keep Teddy saved‼️‼️‼️ Does anyone else see the contradiction here⁉️ Teddy rightly says I don’t believe in modern day miracles. What I mean by that is this. I do not believe that the same kind of instantaneous miracles, that were easily performed by Jessi and his apostles, are being performed today is because no one, including Teddy, has EVER shown them to be taking place.

LittleDavid View Profile History	Strength in weakness Posted : 16 Jul, 2022 07:38 AM Mitzyme, here’s a simple tip you may never have thought about and it’s easy and it’s free. Here it is: If you don’t like reading something—don’t read it. Hope that helps As for the TeddyHug, he’s not just another people, he’s a very deceived false teacher. If you really cared about him, you would try to help deliver him from his many deceptions instead of supporting him with your encouragement . Exposing false teachers, like your TeddyHug is my life. It’s a very good life because exposing false teachers is pleasing to God. Thanks for reading my posts, that encourages me to write more Mitzyme, I have no idea what you belief maybe nothing but according to a recent post you appear to agree with Flat earth evangelist and false teacher TeddyHug’s heretical teachings Perhaps that explains you’re lashing out at me. False teachers like Flat Teddy and their another name for a fan club Don’t think your time would be well spent helping your FlatEarthTeddyHug friend with Post Reply
Moonlight7 View Profile History	Strength in weakness Posted : 19 Jul, 2022 05:18 AM Some people tolerate sinful attitudes and emotions like anger, bitterness, resentment, jealously and have an unforgiving spirit. Attacking those who post Truth of the Bible. Every area of our life is affected when we refuse to extend to others the pardon Jesus Christ so generously granted to you. Are you a Christian? Post Reply
