I know that. You don't believe in either of those. I was trying to emphasize prayer and Scripture, which is our common ground. We both believe in that, don't we? Why do you think that dying is the only way to conquer the flesh? You yourself said:
"The Word of God is living and active."
Would it not follow that His Word would help you to conquer problems in your spiritual life? I know I certainly have them.
God bless you!
Yup, I think I said that.
