Reality With God Myth Buster Free Will is Still A Reality We Live in Bodies of Flesh And Are Susceptible To The infirmities Of The Flesh Myth Buster Free Will is Still A Reality We can make choices that effect our circumstances We Live in Bodies of Flesh And Are Susceptible To The infirmities of the Flesh Romans 8: 17-18 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. 18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 2 Corinthians 11:23-29 in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often. 24 From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep; 26 in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; 27 in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness— 28 besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: my deep concern for all the churches. 29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation? Romans 8, 1Corinthians 11

Reality With God Myth #4 God Likes Men More Than Women

there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Reality With God Galatians 3:28 there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Not that Men and Women are not different and may be even suited for different jobs because there are distinct gender differences Not better or worse different Many people have miss translated and misunderstood a few key verses that have given Christians the attitude that Men are superior to Women. When from the very beginning they were made distinct to complement and complete each other It is not good for (Anthropos) to be alone so from Anthropos He separated the Genders so together they make up the image of God Galatians 3:28

Reality With God God Has Our Best Interest At Heart We Are Blessed And God Sees Us as His Dear Children Being A Christian Is Great Following Christ Is The Way To Find Real Peace and Joy
