“FOR THOSE WHO WALK IN RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS”

I wish peole would stop talking about their faith in twisted grammatical sentences. How do you “walk in a relationship”
= = =

I didn’t realize we’d installed a new regime of grammar police.

Perhaps your familiarity with Christian idioms is lacking—at least in English.

It’s not that difficult.

All the words are rather basic English.

Please let me try again.

1. The Christian life has often been called a Christian WALK. This has led to idioms such as

A) Walk the talk
B) Doesn’t walk the talk
C) His walk is not straight at all.
D) His walk is not at all Biblical.
E) His walk is not very Christian.
F) His walk is in close fellowship with Jesus.
G) His walk with Jesus was blown out of the water with his year long affair with his secretary and the brazen dumping of his wife and 6 kids.

Therefore, those who are IN FELLOWSHIP WITH JESUS;

—IN ONGOING DAILY DIALOGUE WITH JESUS;
—IN DAILY SUBMISSION TO JESUS AND HIS PRIORITIES FOR THEM;
—EARNESTLY SEEKING DAILY TO DO JESUS’ WILL IN AND FOR THEIR LIVES;
—EARNESTLY PRAYING FOR CHRIST’S HOLY SPIRIT TO DIRECT THEIR DAILY LIFE’S EVENTS AND ACTIONS;
. . .
. . .

Can be said to be WALKING IN RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS

vs those who

—hate the very mention of Jesus;
—rail at Christians and Jesus at every mention of either;
—ignore Jesus;
—consider Jesus less than Buddah or Mohammed;
—worship satan;
—are atheists.

who would be said to be walking through their daily lives OUT OF A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS OR NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS.

Now, I hope that wasn’t so bad.

I wouldn’t claim to ever write particularly close to text book grammatical English. I don’t find that much fun.

But usually, those of serious curiosity and especially of similar values seem to understand pretty well what I’m getting at. Sorry you didn’t seem to.

Are you married?

Have you ever dated?

IF you are married . . . I HOPE you have walked

IN RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MRS from the wedding ceremony forward to this moment.

Of course, many don’t. And the kids and lots of other people suffer.

IF you are merely dating . . . I suspect you have dated some gals for a time and then broken the relationship off.

So, you walked in relationship with Suzy Cute until one of you broke it off—after which you were no longer walking through life IN RELATIONSHIP with Suzy Cute.
