Yes. Not putting on and off, on and off; its impossible anyway. If a man
puts off it will always be off because he is now a new creature.

"If God is not first in everything He is not first in anything."

There isn't any revolving whore door in Christ Jesus to mistreat the
Lord Jesus on a whim. No one in Christ Jesus abuses or commits adultery
(deceitful lusts) with the world against the One they love with all
their heart.

They just can't. "I am my beloved's" as Song of Songs says.

The world.

The "steal" means stealing from the Lord (withholding your whole heart),
and working out your own salvation through obedience (good), because He
is worthy. The thing about love is that it is needful (yes, a good
Father is needful of His children He produced). Oh, how often I would
have gathered you as hen gathers her chicks, but you would not,
expresses that "need of heart." That verse is all about the nature of
God and giving Him what all He deserves.

Or you could just look at it with the theology head and talk about
"works based salvation," a big no-no.

However, it is with the heart that one believes unto righteousness, not
studying theology. In other words, it is the heart that really hears
God, not the bible head (ChristRose's big problem).

Corrupt communication is telling lies (like Sinner James saying he does
not lie); it is NOT following the deluded pattern of the moralistic,
fallen human religious understandings of sinners!

Rather, tell the truth, as hard as it may be, and it is with sinners,
which is grace because no one deserves it, that the truth may set the
sinner (self-worshiper) free.

A son of God does not grieve the Holy Spirit. The old man is dead...d.e.a.d.

The Lord has been kind, tenderhearted, and forgiving toward you.

I may as well tell you what happened the other day: I know who and what
you are now by the grace of God, and you know not what you do, so I
hereby forgive you for all the great wrongs you have done to me and free
you of all accountability.
