If you read those scriptures more carefully Paul boasts that he obeys but he does not boast that he preaches the gospel.

Though you try you just can't get out of the fact that Paul boasted. Paul boasted in his obedience and he says he boasts in us and we can boast in ourselves and in each other.

You just can't admit you're wrong. You falsely accuse Paul of exalting himself. He never did. We can boast about others, there's nothing wrong with that. It's self adulation that is wrong.

2 Cor. 10:17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

2 Cor. 10:18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.​

 

[God's Truth]

The Jews used to be able to boast in the ceremonial works.

Again, those ‘WORKS’ are the ceremonial works. Those are the works the Jews USED TO be able to boast in; not anymore, because now anyone can be saved by just having faith the sins they repent of are washed away.

Galatians 6:13 Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh.

Philippians 3:3 For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh--

Did you read that? The boasting was done in the CEREMONIAL works. Paul is NOT putting down obeying, as you teach. Paul is speaking of not being able to boast in the ceremonial works, i.e. CIRCUMCSION.

 

[God's Truth]

You just can't admit you're wrong. You falsely accuse Paul of exalting himself. He never did. We can boast about others, there's nothing wrong with that. It's self adulation that is wrong.

If Paul did not obey and humble himself, Jesus would not have exalted him.

You can't shame one for obeying.

We are blessed when we obey and preach the truth.

 

[God's Truth]

gd,

We are blessed as a family member and friend if we do what Jesus says.


Luke 11:28 He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."

Matthew 12:50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother."

John 15:14 You are my friends if you do what I command.



Did you read those teachings from Jesus?

Can you imagine being condemned for teaching those things that Jesus said, as you are doing to me?

Can you imagine someone saying to someone else that they are blessed by Jesus because they obeyed, and someone like you comes along and says you boaster you are condemned and in falseness for boasting?

Can you imagine someone else saying to someone that they are Jesus' family and friend because they obey Jesus and someone like you says no you boaster you are evil and cursed?

YOU SAID Paul boasted in himself. Now you're trying to deny what you have said? :doh:


You simply cannot be taken seriously.

There ya go....giving excuses for boasting. Boasting is excluded by the law of Faith.

It is humbling to come to Jesus as a servant who will do what ever he says.

Think about it.

Paul boasted in his obedience. I gave you many scriptures.

 

[WatchmanOnTheWall]

No, what a person does to offend you has nothing to do with the Gospel.

I hope didn't offend you the other week with my comment, I know it was below the belt but I just couldn't resist the black humour punch line. I reckon PJ likes you

What GT does is what kids these days call the humblebrag.

to make a seemingly modest or self-critical statement about one's self that is [actually] meant to draw attention to one's admirable or impressive qualities or achievements.

 

[patrick jane]

I am glad you can see how much Paul boasted.

Boasting that you humbled yourself and gave your life to God is not a boasting to be ashamed of doing.

The boasting that we can't do is boast in the ceremonial works of the law like circumcision.

Right over your head.

Paul only boasted in the Lord. Do you see that Paul says FOOLS boast?

 

[God's Truth]

You don't hear me bragging ever. You just are trying to make it shameful to preach obedience and to obey.

Jesus tells us who he saves so that if someone wants to be saved and is not, they can do what Jesus says and his words are true.

 

[God's Truth]

Right over your head.

No it did not.

 

[God's Truth]

Paul only boasted in the Lord. Do you see that Paul says FOOLS boast?

I gave you scriptures from other letters and chapters too, but you ignore them.

So what did you say about fools boast? 2 Corinthians 12:6
Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth.


Paul said he would NOT be a fool.

You interpret the words to fit your opinion. 6 For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool;

See? Fools boast in their obedience like you do.

You are bothered by the truth aren't you?

 

[patrick jane]

You are bothered by the truth aren't you?

Not in the slightest.

 

[God's Truth]

Not in the slightest.

Then why don't you accept the truth?
