Somehow that "invalidates" the parents ability to say that drugs are bad for you. <BR/><BR/>Jesus said remove the log in your own eye <B>before</B> ... He did not say the log makes you unable to help (and I think that has to be the attitude) a brother in sin. But we have have to be repentant before we can help another repent is what I think Jesus is saying.Taliesinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06250806687440204400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16790134.post-43636204488448324212007-05-09T13:12:00.000-04:002007-05-09T13:12:00.000-04:00"live the gospel."Amen.

An example of my personal take on it is that if the Bible says you should not commit adultery, ANYBODY, even the most vulgar prostitute can say, "The Bible says that you should not commit adultery."Craver Viihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882284402568264182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16790134.post-23054448845641691442007-05-09T09:58:00.000-04:002007-05-09T09:58:00.000-04:00"Knowledge of God rightly understood brings humili...<I>"Knowledge of God <A>rightly understood</A> brings humility, not pride, which is what was happening to certain Jews and moralists."</I><BR/><BR/>This is why God anoints teachers & preachers-to bring people to the place of the Gentile woman noted in Matt.15:<BR/><BR/><I>But Jesus answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs."

I get frustrated when I hear people say, "You just need Jesus to come into your heart" because there are many translations/understandings of what exactly that means.<BR/><BR/>We're depraved, sinful, lunatics (I love that Ted shared that word with us), destined for hell.....that's why we need Jesus. Coming to Him for any other reason will not get us where we want to go!
