In Philippians 1:20-26) Paul in these scriptures is in a wrestling match
with his own will and thoughts about two choices. He has so pleased God
that God has given him a choice to let go of his physical life and go
on and be with the Lord which he said for himself would be so much
better, but to remain IN HIS BODY would be better for the church's he
was blessing and ministering to. He was tossing over this God given him
choice. Here ye, Here ye, Here ye. His choice to remain
in
his body on this earth was by no means because he loved the world, or
the things that were in the world, or because he loved his toys. Nor
because he loved worldly pleasures, and worldly fame, and riches, and
wealth, and the worlds glory, and glamor, and splendor. People who love
the world in this way break 1 John 2:15-17 & James 4:1-10) Paul
loved Jesus so much he would not do that.... Paul's hearts affections
were set on things above where Jesus is seated at the Fathers right hand
and not on the things of the earth. (Colossians 3:1-4)...Philippians
1:21-24 he said to remain in his earthly body was for the sole purpose
of the Church's edification and furtherance of joy and faith in
Christ.......Seems Paul never laid down his cross.......deno.
