Słowo na 12.10.2016. Nie rozumiem bowiem tego, co czynię, bo nie czynię tego, co chcę, ale to, czego nienawidzę – to właśnie czynię.

“Nie rozumiem bowiem tego, co czynię, bo nie czynię tego, co chcę, ale to, czego nienawidzę – to właśnie czynię”. Rz 7

 

 

Before I get into the substance, I would like to show some attitudes of the general readership. We are all different and the motivations for entering this blog are different. Some enter for the conspiracies, feeding off the sensationalism, others for the politics. However, there is a group that I would like to divide into two subgroups. One such group is people who consider themselves believers. These believers are divided into the following subgroups according to the parable of the sower:

1.   Ground with thorns - people who hear the word but are preoccupied with worldly things.
2. Fertile ground - those who not only hear the word, but also receive it, and thus bear fruit. These are the true Christians.

 

 

Sometimes people say: well, you know, I don't have to agree with you on everything. Of course you don't have to and you shouldn't even. You have to agree with Scripture 🙂 .

Why am I writing about it? Because I observe the comments and likes on Facebook of the popularity of particular texts of mine. When it comes to obeying the Law and following Biblical principles, the likes are small. Of course, in order not to feed the trolls, I will say right away that it is not for popularity that I look at the likes. To me, they are statistics, telling me about reader preferences.

If I were to set up a site about the shape of the earth and UFOs or similar topics, there would be several thousand more hits. But I'm not concerned about the hits.

 

"13 Enter through the narrow gate! For wide is the gate and spacious is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter through it. 14 How narrow is the gate and how narrow droga, która prowadzi do życia, a mało jest takich, którzy ją znajdują!” Mt 7

 

The law is uncomfortable, submission to husbands is uncomfortable:

 

“„Wives, be submissive to your husbands swoim jak Panu, bo mąż jest głową żony, jak Chrystus Głową Kościoła, ciała, którego jest Zbawicielem”

 

How hard it is for today's women to accept this line. Immediately there are thunders from the husband tyrant lord and master. Dear friends, I am not a theist.

I see couples at reunions where both parties are converts. These relationships are based on respect and love. What's more, the example of Marcin and Gosia shows how beautiful the process can be when the husband converts first, showing the fruits. Gosia, seeing her husband's fruits, noticed that it works, that it is beautiful. So is she a slave? Is Marcin a tyrant? No. This is God's marriage. Just like in Chelmża I saw Darek and Kasie and in Ustroń Mariusz and Kasie. The heart rejoices to see God's marriage.

It works 🙂

 

James says:

 

“Bo Ten, który powiedział: Nie cudzołóż, powiedział też: Nie zabijaj; jeżeli więc nie cudzołożysz, ale zabijasz, jesteś przestępcą zakonu.”

 

Does the law not apply to us then?

Sabbath example. It appears that the 9 commandments are valid, but one, the one concerning the Sabbath the Lord Jesus removed. Please show me where he removed it. Where did he say he was Lord of the Sabbath? Does this statement say we are not to celebrate it? No, it implies that Jesus is the ruler of the Sabbath. I recently illustrated this to someone on the phone. If the President of the Republic of Poland orders a curfew starting at 10pm, won't he himself be allowed to walk the streets after 10pm? Non sense.

I am still studying the Sabbath because I want to be sure of my view of the obligatory nature of its observance. There remains a stirring verse from Colossians yet, but it is a matter of examining the context.

I've been searching a lot about Shabbat lately and you know what I come across? On Catholic sites that say it's a Jewish holiday :-). The understanding is simple: you celebrate the Sabbath? you are a Jew.

An example of the pro-Catholic side's interpretation:

“Chrześcijan przestało obowiązywać świętowanie szabatu Kol 2,16-17:Therefore let no one make any judgment about you concerning food or drink, or about a festival or a new moon or sabbath! These are only shadows of things to come, and the reality belongs to Christ. Chrześcijan obowiązuje świętowanie niedzieli. Obchodzenie szabatu było związane z liturgią Izraela Kpł 23,1-44:’

 

Haha.

Haha it is even more interesting that the Catholic outlook is in Protestant churches. Protestants celebrate on Sunday 🙂 .

Meanwhile, the 2nd century celebrated:

 

“Po trzecie z badań historyków wynika jasno, że jeszcze w II wieku niektóre wspólnoty chrześcijańskie obchodziły szabat (na pewno w Antiochii)”

http://mateusz.pl/pow/021006.htm

 

Some honest priest wrote this.

What do you mean, the early Christians celebrated the Sabbath? Gosh, they fell under the law by giving up grace. Total massacre.

OK, I'll leave the subject of the Sabbath for later because on 100% I'm not convinced myself. I need to explore this just as the issues of Paul and the divinity of Jesus I have explored.

 

 

I have written about the popularity of certain topics because the following consideration will be pleasing to man's old nature, and this is because it partly gives a furor to sin.

The whole context of the title verse:

 

"14) We know that the Law is spiritual, whereas I am carnal and subject to sin. (15) For I cannot comprehend what I do. I do not do what I want, but what I hate. (16) And if I do what I do not want to do, I admit to the Law that it is good. (17) Therefore it is no longer I who do it, but sin that resides in me. (18) Wiem, że nie mieszka we mnie – to znaczy w moim ciele – dobro. Chęć bowiem dobrego czynu szybko zjawia się we mnie, wykonanie jednak – nie. (19) For I do not do the good that I want, but I commit the evil that I do not want. (20) And if I do what I do not want to do, it is not I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. (21) So I clearly experience that in me, who wants to do good, evil resides. (22) For I agree with the Law of God, but it happens against all that is in me. (23) Dostrzegam w sobie inne prawo – przeciwstawiające się prawu mojego umysłu i poddające mnie w niewolę prawa podyktowanego przez grzech, który we mnie przebywa. (24) I am a wretched man! Who will deliver me from a body subject to this death? (25) Bogu niech będą dzięki przez Jezusa Chrystusa, naszego Pana. Tak więc ja sam, dzięki umysłowi, jestem sługą Prawa Bożego, a przez ciało jestem niewolnikiem prawa podyktowanego przez grzech.’

 

I found a great picture bluntly showing what this verse is:

” Prawo jest duchowe, ja natomiast jestem cielesny”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think Cuapak will find this link interesting: http://chfpn.pl/index/?id=0353ab4cbed5beae847a7ff6e220b5cf

 

As in the Word and picture there is a conflict between the flesh and the Spirit. We are seemingly born again, but the old nature fights against the new spirit received from God.

Paul further wrote:

 

“Nie umiem bowiem pojąć tego, co czynię. Nie czynię tego, co chcę, lecz to czynię, czego nienawidzę.’

 

This is the measure of being born again. Recently I said something unkind to a certain person. A second later I regretted it and thought: why can't I get rid of this dirt?

Również Paweł napisał: codziennie umieram. Jeśli mówimy o ponownym narodzeniu, to musimy wziąć te mała poprawkę, że jest to proces. Od razu z niemowlęcia nie staniesz się dziadkiem…

This is also why I sometimes have to freeze on blog Freshmen not showing the fruit of the Spirit.

It is a struggle, but with Jesus it is a victorious struggle. Every problem, every weakness will be overcome in Jesus, but you must ask Him for it.

 

I can do all things in him who strengthens me.

 

Let's look at what kind of contamination it is:

 

“Dlatego już nie ja to czynię, lecz grzech, który we mnie przebywa.’

 

Something terrible. Sin rules us. We do not rule ourselves. This is why Satan first attacks us through culture. The sexual revolution, computer games, cinema, theater, bad company. After that, sin just lives in us.

What does the process look like next?

 

“Wiem, że nie mieszka we mnie – to znaczy w moim ciele – dobro. Chęć bowiem dobrego czynu szybko zjawia się we mnie, wykonanie jednak – nie.”

 

So the spirit dwells in the good and the flesh wants something else. I see it in myself how tainted I am with sin, but the consolation is that it gets better every year.

 

” Wyraźnie więc doświadczam, że we mnie, który chcę czynić dobro, przebywa zło”

Can you see the evil dwelling within you?

If you cannot see, it means you are an unbeliever. There is no person on earth without sin because:

 

“Jeśli mówimy, że nie mamy grzechu, to samych siebie oszukujemy i nie ma w nas prawdy.” 1 Jana.

 

Are you working on it, struggling? Are you asking Jesus?

Now I realize why Paul is so fought against. He shows that there is sin in us, and the devil does not allow unborn Bible intellectuals to see this. He uses pride to do this.

 

“Zgadzam się bowiem z Prawem Boga, lecz dzieje się to wbrew temu wszystkiemu, co jest we mnie”

 

Paul agrees with the Law of God. How is this possible?

He points out the rift that through the mind will be the servant of the Law of God in Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

I am a wretched man! Who will deliver me from a body subject to this death? (25) Bogu niech będą dzięki przez Jezusa Chrystusa, naszego Pana. Tak więc ja sam, dzięki umysłowi, jestem sługą Prawa Bożego, a przez ciało jestem niewolnikiem prawa podyktowanego przez grzech.’

 

To do battle with the flesh and our sinful nature

 

Amen.
