Surrendering to Jesus/God is Not Biblical

Hi PD I did a word check in my favorite 5 study Bibles beginning with KJV 1611 and the word surrender is not in any of them.edit
I also could not find control in any of them.Even where it is talking about armies they uses deliver, give, go forth, fall unto, or given.Edited by ICANT, : add control

I like to think I have given my life over totaly to the leadership of the Holy Spirit. But the fact remains that I live in a sinful fleshly body. So many time I take control and when I do I mess up I find as long as God is in control things just work out better.Now the bad news: Now if you have been born again. That means that you have been bought with the blood of Jesus and the suffering he did at Calvary.That means God own's you.He asks that you willingly present your body as a living sacrifice, which is a very cheap price to pay for not spending eternity in Hell.So from the moment you are born again you are not your own you belong to God because he redeamed you that is He paid for you.Can you get by without letting God have control I guess you could because Paul tell us some will be saved so as by fire.

Hi Ringo, Since this thread is under Bible Study are you saying the Bible does not say what I quoted. Ringo I don't care if you believe the Bible or not. If you think it is a fairy tale that is fine. If you think it is an uncalled for book that is fine.Now either the Bible says what I quoted, or it does not.Does it state what I quoted?

To understand any writing you need to know 5 specific things.Who is speaking or writing?
Whom or about whom is he speaking or writing to?
What subject is he speaking or writing about?
When or about what time is he speaking or writing about?
Why, the reason or occasion for the speaking or writing?I was taught in journalism class that to write a good story you need to be able to answer all 5 of these questions.

You can"t, you can only chose who has that control.

Hi purpledawn in my first post I mentioned that surrender, and control were not in my favorite study Bibles. They do both appear in later translations.God does not demand anywhere that I know of that you surrender control of your life too Him.He does not require you to follow his commands. There could be consequences if you don't.He does want you to choose to follow his commands. He would like for you to choose to let Him control your life. That is why you are so unique. God made you a free moral agent so you could choose to love him and worship just because He is God.From personal experience of the last 58 years when I let God have control things went smooth. When I took control there was train wreck after train wreck. In other words big messes.

Just because I believe it that does not make it true.

God has a plan for your life if you seek His will in your life and find it everything is just better. I make no major decisions without consulting God. Sometimes I have to wait awhile but if I wait on Him He will lead in the right direction.Sometimes I haven't listened and I still made a good decision but most of the time it's like the train wreck, a bad decision. But even when I don't listen it does not affect our Father son relationship.
