Sin is a hot topic for a lot of people today because of our flesh naturally enjoys to be appeased. However, with-in us is our soul (Heart/mind/will/emotion), is also what affects the choices in which in which an individual chooses to do whatever they will with their flesh. However what does it mean when mentioning flesh? Flesh is our outward exterior - where our Soul is our inward exterior but can not be seen which is given by God. Whatever is in our heart, in our mind, in our will, in our emotions we tend to act out on whatever one may choose to do with themselves which includes their body ; they could like rock n roll, beer, drugs, making straight A's, really studious, not studious, because God gave them a body that they can use - in which everyone has sinned with their our flesh from what started in the (mind) the (will) the emotion of the person in which maybe one has taken a punch at their brother or sister, or done something behind their back, or even wish death upon someone, or that their car messes up and blows up because it bothers you when it wakes you from your slumber.

Romans 3:23
Righteousness through Faith
…22And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.…

Paul writes to the people who are saints at Rome, about how righteousness from God comes through faith in the Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction - so anyone who comes to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ - there is no distinction - because all people have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Who is the Glory of God? (Hebrews 1:1-3) Which talks highly about Jesus who is the radiance of God's glory like the radiance of the suns rays on the earth. And people who come to believe - no matter who they are) are found to be right with God to all who believe through faith in trusting the promises of Christ Jesus that were written though-out the Gospels, but also there was many things going on in the Letters written at the time also which acted on some of the promises at that time.

Do you understand that by our flesh - no one is justified. But those who believe, are justified freely by Gods grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus? What about those who do not believe? They are not justified, by God grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, but they are Given life every day by God while they are alive on earth. It is up to them to decide to seek out for God or let the world choke the word out of you, or not care, all depends on the person and their own decision between themselves and God.

We are "justified" by accurate knowledge of the law of the Christ, and obedience to that law sir. Simple as that. Justified is just another synonym for being marked for survival. Ez 9:1-4

Ezekiel 9:1-4


Young's Literal Translation

9 And He crieth in mine ears -- a loud voice -- saying, `Drawn near have inspectors of the city, and each his destroying weapon in his hand.'
2 And lo, six men are coming from the way of the upper gate, that is facing the north, and each his slaughter-weapon in his hand, and one man in their midst is clothed with linen, and a scribe's inkhorn at his loins, and they come in, and stand near the brazen altar.
3 And the honour of the God of Israel hath gone up from off the cherub, on which it hath been, unto the threshold of the house.
4 And He calleth unto the man who is clothed with linen, who hath the scribe's inkhorn at his loins, and Jehovah saith unto him, `Pass on into the midst of the city, into the midst of Jerusalem, and thou hast made a mark on the foreheads of the men who are sighing and who are groaning for all the abominations that are done in its midst.'

Sin is on the mind of a carnal believer.
= Always.
The Grace of God is on the mind of a born again person who understands it.
= Always

New International Version
But you know that Jesus appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin.

New Living Translation
And you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him.

English Standard Version
You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.

Berean Standard Bible
But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin.

Berean Literal Bible
And you know that He appeared, so that He might take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.

King James Bible
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.


All the born again are "IN Christ'.
Now go and read the verse again, and notice that 'IN. HIM"""< there is NO SIN.
And all the BORN AGAIN ARE ...."IN HIM". = ""
IN CHRIST"

Get the revelation.

Thank you for sharing, @Behold my friend. Good to see you.

The general message is that - it's simply good not to judge, but to understand God has set things up in a purposeful way, and it depends on if we decide to seek after Him, and His ways in our life or not, in Christ. Seeking, reading, growing, learning, becoming fortified in the faith of the Gospel for Christ who was raised again by God.

Thank you for sharing, @Behold my friend. Good to see you.

The general message is that - it's simply good not to judge,

If you don't judge, you are not obeying the scripture.
Keep in mind, im only talking about a born again Christian.....not a water baptized cult member who is trying to "be like Christ" hoping they dont lose their salvation as long as they dont forget to "confess all their sin to try to stay saved".
See that one?
Im not talking about that one, as that one is religious but lost, and hell bound.
Thousands of them went to hell today, and yesterday, and tomorrow, even if you don't believe Jesus when He told you all about Hell, MatthewG.

So....Im only talking about this verse...>

1.) "HE (the born again) that is SPIRITUAL....( born again) ...judges all things".

See that?
"judges ALL things"....= .HE (the born again person".

If you're not one of those MatthewG, then dont worry about that verse, and just keep on posting your opinions.

Listen,
We are to JUDGE THEM by their FRUIT. "by their FRUIT you shall KNOW (judge) them".
See that?

"Fruit", - what they say and what they teach and what the do.
Those 3.
Judge those 3, constantly, on a Forum, or when listening to a PULPIT or TV MINISTER.

On a Forum, what you do, is notice first and foremost...."is this person giving all Credit to CHRIST ALONE< for saving them and KEEPING THEM SAVED.", or are they only giving Jesus credit for starting their salvation, and then themselves full credit for the rest.
See that person?
Thats a HERETIC.

See, when you filter (JUDGE) the person, what they TEACH...through that filter, you have found what they believe and by this discovery, you recognize (JUDGE) if you are dealing with a devil deceived Heretic, or not.

See, .... TRUTH is not opinion, and its not divided, and its not politically correct.
Its NAKED and its FINAL., and its Jesus Himself.... John 14:6......So, when a person is not of the TRUTH, you JUDGE THEM so = by what they say, teach, and do, as you are instructed to do by the Scripture.

Its a must.

Jesus said;
7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

That is a different situation.
That is you comparing yourself, or that is you being a carnal judge.
That is YOU judging a person, vs, the scripture judging them spiritually, as discernment.

Read my post again, as you didn't understand it, because you are to busy trying to prove you are right, vs, trying to take 5 seconds to listen and learn.
This is why you dont.

You have to listen, and think, MatthewG, and not always just REACT.

"He, the born again, who is Spiritual, (born again) Judges all things"...

Jesus always did this.
Paul always did this, and the born again have to judge, as if you dont discern what you are dealing with, when dealing with a teacher, preacher, pulpit, denomination, you will be caught up in cult teaching, as has happened to you., as you have shown up with your Preterism, and similar.

Okay, @Behold.

This topic is talking about how there is no difference between us all as human beings cause we all have fallen short of the Glory of God.

Did you even read the original post at all by chance or did you decide to just comment?

Yes, i read your THread.
Did you read it?

Did you read this part.......""""Sin is a hot topic for a lot of people today because of our flesh naturally enjoys to be appeased.''""

So, that is why i responded to you......as you call sin a "hot topic".
And it is a hot topic if your mind is on sin.
And it must be so, as so many write about it....
That's true.= you are what you think.

Better to have your mind where it should be, if you are born again, which is what ive been showing you.
See, if you can ever get your mind right, then your faith will follow as will your thelogy.
But not until.
And you have to come out of some cult teaching, to get your mind right, MatthewG.

Preaching the Gospel of the Grace of God (Paul's Gospel) is always good.

Offering the Cross of Christ, is to preach the Gospel.
The "Preaching of the Cross" is the theological core of God's Grace.

It is up to them to decide to seek out for God or let the world choke the word out of you, or not care, all depends on the person and their own decision between themselves and God.

Unbelievers have no "word in them" to "choke".
They have a hardened heart of unbelief.

We, the born again, are given the "ministry of reconciliation"..... 2 Corinthians 5:19.......... and we are to help them "be reconciled to God" based on the Cross of Christ, which is the "Gift of Salvation".

Your quote is from the "Gospel of Thomas".

Maybe you should try a real Bible, instead, Phil.

Not here to argue with anyone.

I do not mind whatever one wants to share here with others.

Just wanna encourage people. That is all, maybe it helps, maybe it done. May the Spirit of God guide amen?
