Romans 8:9
Audio Crossref Comment Greek
Verse (Click for Chapter)
New International Version
You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.


No one said we were without sin, were all sinners, yet when we become Born Again of imperishable seed we no longer sin just as Gods word says, to a Born Again.

The Spirit cannot indwelling the spirit of a sinner.....it’s our mind that needs renewing....that’s where the battlefield is......

We have been set free from the sin nature that we inherited from the first Adam, we now have a new nature in the second Adam who is Christ.

Only the Living word of God can witness the truth of Gods written word.

1 John 3:9

King James Version

9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

You may run with your 'twisted' version of the Gospel, but am sound with mine.
Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

When one become born again, one is forgiven of all sin and cleanse from all unrighteousness. A new creation with the Spirit dwelling in them, yet in the flesh they will tempted in all ways and manners like Jesus.

For it is written, 'For we have not an High Priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.'

And is written, 'If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.'

Finally is written, 'If we say that we have not sinned, we make HIM a liar, and HIS Word is not in us.'
1 John 2:10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

Very easy to post scripture.

Where else do we need to know this truth and by whom does this truth come from, apart from the written word?

loving ourselves( boasting/pride) is sin, instead of loving others as Christ to lay HIs life down for them, which is not sin.




Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

2 Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

1 Timothy 6:3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

How would you know how to love others.

Apart from posting the written word?
Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

2 Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Therefore there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ.

A Born Again has been set free from sin.

How would you know that apart from the scripture that you post?
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:


Luke 11:36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

John 11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

More scripture.

To understand scripture, you need to understand the Living word of God.

Posting scripture saves no one...we must be Born Again...why is that?

John 20:30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

James 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

1 Peter 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

1 John 2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

1 John 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

1 John 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

Loving your brother, having no part dark, all is told..




1 John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.


1 John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

2 Timothy 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
You must understand and receive the Living word of God ....before you can even think about understanding His written word.

We must be Born Of The Spirit to understand God’s written word.

You need God’s witness in your spirit to guide you through God’s written word.

Because the Bible is written under the influence/ inspiration of the Spirit.

Therefore can only be understood if one is Born Of The Spirit.
