How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

[Episkopos]

Its obvious we got a problem within christendom .
I honestly dont think most folks have any idea
of what JESUS actually accomplished on the cross .
First he paid the price of our sins
But take a closer look .
So that we being DEAD TO SIN SHOULD LIVE UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS .
WHY o why do so many not preach the POWER of CHRIST and what the new life entails in HIM .
BELIEVE IN HIM . BELIEVE EVERY WORD written . Dont just let pastors
allow you to think you are slave to sin . THERE TRULY IS POWER in the BLOOD .
To reach to the conscious , to purge from our conscious the old dead works , to give power
to live and walk righteously by the power of the SPIRIT . .
JESUS told those who beleived on HIM . IF YOU CONTINUE IN ME , You shall KNOW THE TRUTH
and the TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE . FREE . not a slave , but FREE .

Hey, where's John 3:16? Did you stop believing in it? And I don't see you pointing to the cross anymore.

Rather...go to the cross! Make it real.

For GOD so loved the WORLD that he sent His only begotten SON that all who do believe would not PERISH
take a note at that word .
THOSE WHO BELIEVE EPI
as for those who dont , JESUS says they will be damned . SO i dont see how i forgot John three sixteen .
You do realize the only condemnation one has is they wont come to Christ .
Pointing to the CROSS without having faith in the ONE WHO WENT TOO it , IS VAIN .
POINT TO CHRIST and HIM CRUCIFIED EPI .

 

[amigo de christo]

The cross epi points to may as well have budda or hindu or muslim prophets on it .
The social gospel is bad news epi .
It tries so hard to point to the CROSS and yet it omits the DIRE NECESSITY TO BELIEVE ON HE WHO was CRUCIFIED ON IT .

 

[amigo de christo]

Epi tries to teach folks how to be dead to sin , but wont preach the dire need to beleive on CHRIST
so they can BE DEAD TO SIN .

You teach to point to the cross to hide behind what He did ...so you can sin and get away with it. Admit it!
It's always...don't look at how much I sin...look at Jesus.

But you are caught red handed. All your bluster and ranting to hide yourself....like Adam did in the garden. All your holier than thou pontificating as a cover-up. Posting bigger and bigger verses will never cover up your guilt.

Teach yourself. Preach to yourself. Go to the cross and make it real. Don't just hide behind bible words.

Many will claim to be justified by Christ...based in religious certainty... but look what Paul says...

Galatians 2:17​

“But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.”

You minister a sinful Jesus as others do here. BUT...In Him is no sin.

Go to the cross...make it real!

You are dead wrong my friend . I speak against all sin . no excuse for it .
But as i said above , you cant preach the cross to folks without having FAITH IN HE WHO WAS ON IT .

 

[amigo de christo]

Epi preaches the cross without faith in CHRIST . That aint gonna happen epi .
As for me its CHRIST and HIM CRUCIFIED . A buddist cant carry his cross epi , they dont BELEIVE IN CHRIST JESUS .
you are just selling self righteous works . BETTER PREACH CHRIST and HIM CRUCIFIED EPI .
not this social all inclusive death sentence .

 

[amigo de christo]

Its like the dark rainbow . satan stole the idea of the rainbow and sold it as SIN convenant .
WELL trying to sell the cross without FAITH IN CHRIST , IS STEALING EPI . and its a lie .
BELIEVE YE IN JESUS CHRIST is to be the message and THEN teach ALL things HE DID teach .

 

[Eternally Grateful]

In the proper context...everything means something. The trick is to not misuse what we are given as directives to prop up the very thing we claim is crucified (according to the text).

This is why a judgment day is so necessary...to sort out the intricate mess the flesh makes out of the higher walk.

So were you baptized into Christ?

 

[Episkopos]

Maybe where you are from they have other people on the cross. Maybe you have crucifixes and burn incense in every room in your house..such is your obsession with religious icons. But those icons have no power. GO TO the cross yourself.

Cry out to God. Make it real. Take down all your icons...they can easily become idols.

Preach to yourself. Tell yourself...All I need is Jesus...then GO to Him.

There's so much vain religion masquerading as faith around here. And you are one of the vocal ones. Endlessly saying religious mantras to yourself...that have no power.

Don't be like the heathen that think that God hears them for the many repetitions...and large bible verses...

Use faith, Go to the cross and make it real!

Those whose faith is NOT IN CHRIST cannot go to the cross . Yet i seem to remember what you were trying to sneak in about
other religions that dont even BELIEVE on HIM .
EPI , you aint fooling lambs my friend . I know all about inclusivity and its ideals .
Remember , i read an actual book on it . As i said then , so say i now again , had it not been the libraries book
i would have BURNED IT UP . GO TO CHRIST and the CROSS IS REAL . but try it on your own and its all VAIN .
BELIEVE YE IN JESUS CHRIST is the message . And no other false hope gets allowed in on my watch .

Is that a good excuse...really?

You have a very muddled mind my friend. Why are you obsessed with other religions? I see you as being surrounded by crucifixes and burning incense and such. You have zero credibility with me. You simply need help and a LOT of direction. Maybe a Covid 19 shut in case? Get out into the world and go to the cross.

EPI , you aint fooling lambs my friend . I know all about inclusivity and its ideals .

Are you in a nursery? Nobody is coming for your lambs. That's paranoia on your part.

Remember , i read an actual book on it .

I guess that's commendable. But a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. Maybe you need to read another book...

As i said then , so say i now again , had it not been the libraries book
i would have BURNED IT UP .

A book burning? Just where are you from?

GO TO CHRIST and the CROSS IS REAL . but try it on your own and its all VAIN .
BELIEVE YE IN JESUS CHRIST is the message . And no other false hope gets allowed in on my watch .

The cross is very real..and you can go to it...not just point to it.

We need actual real disciples not religious posers and nutcases. Come out from hiding...be exposed to the light.

 

[amigo de christo]

Epi you aint fooling anyone .
Time to preach CHRIST and Him crucified .

 

[Waiting on him]

I just want to Know what the Paul means when he made the statement you quoted.

Colossians 2:14
having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross

What did he take out of the way and nail to the cross? You said it was Jesus flesh? Is that what paul said?

Paul is talking about his heavenly birth.

What was contrary too THEM!

Paul claims they entered the holiest of holies through the crucified flesh of Christ. He implies they entered through/beyond. Why do so many here imply they only make it too the cross, and that is where they stay?

 

[Eternally Grateful]

Paul is talking about his heavenly birth.

thats what I am asking you.

What was against them? What had to be nailed to the cross..Because paul said that it was nailed..

I agree, it is about our new birth. But what had to be nailed to the cross so we could recieve that birth? What was against us?

 

[ChristisGod]

You are dead wrong my friend . I speak against all sin . no excuse for it .

He justifies homosexual ministers just the opposite of Paul's command- shall we continue in sin that grace might abound? may it never be. He preaches a false gospel of continuing in sin with no repentance. Just the opposite of Jesus and the Apostles teaching.Cheap grace and easy believism..

hope this helps !!!

I was never under the ordinances they were.

 

[Nhisname]

There was nothing but his flesh nailed down.

Plus every sin committed in the world, weighed down with every attack spiritually from satan you could possibly think of. We could never really have an understanding of his sacrifice from a human standpoint and thank or Love him enough for what he did for us.

 

[Nhisname]

what were the ordinances that were against us and contrary to us? what was nailed to the cross?

Back in biblical times when a person was hung on a cross there was a sign of their offenses nailed on their cross. Jesus took all of our sins(offenses) and nailed them to his cross.
