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

[ChristisGod]

Brute beasts...who speak without fear...who speak without knowledge, wisdom or any understanding. Who hide a seared conscience behind bible slogans. And you are their champion in all these things. Compromised by the flesh. Posturing to look more 'right" by vast stretches of the imagination.

Ephesians 4:29
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

Colossians 4:6
Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone

hope this helps !!!

No that is your ego/pride talking as I'm friends with numerous posters here that don't agree with or see eye to eye on everything . Many are members and posters on my forum who are my friends. And unlike you I'm accountable with our pastors and elders in our church and the many mens discipleship groups I meet with weekly. So much for your false accusations. You are the lone ranger with no accountability, not me.

You make it sound like the doctrines of men bring safety. But a false religious covering is soon exposed as the truth of the gospel is spoken. Your very carnal reaction to the truth should inform all to see where your beliefs come from.

Turn from the ways of men....and seek the eternal paths that lead to life. Seek the Lord. Go to the cross. Turn to Christ...in humility and surrender. it's your only hope.

Yes indeed.

Speaking of new age, we need to also realize that there unfortunately is a new age version of Christianity out there that is leading to people saying they are Christ. Let me show this in scripture in case any here are believing in that, or are on the path to believing it. If it were possible even the very elect would be deceived.

When Jesus was asked what will be the sign of His coming and the end of the age, the very FIRST thing He warned His disciples to watch out for was this:


Mat 24:3-5

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.


Mar 13:3-6

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.


Luk 21:7-8

And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?

And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

Watch out for those false prophets and false Christs....it's a clever new age Christianity that is a clever and seductive counterfeit to the truth, and even accompanied by miracles as well.

Did you take the time to read what you just post?

2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV
[17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
So I don’t get it are you saying one day you’ll be in Christ? A new creature?

How many times are the old things made new?

Of course we are a new creature in CHRIST . what a lovely reminder . Yet we still abide in old bodies .
One day we will have new bodies .

What a lovely reminder . So now let all take heed to the inner man , the SPIRIT
and not follow after the old man of the flesh .

Exactly what a hypocrite does... turning things inside out to divert the truth away from the ego. Learn from your own virtue signaling and posturing. Stop following me around to troll the threads I start.

You need the Lord. Go to the cross.

 

[amigo de christo]

Let all who love Christ in sincerity , praise the glorious LORD. There shall no other gospel
enter into the heart of a lamb , THAN WHAT CHRIST and later the apostels did teach .
Any other gospel , IS NO GOSPEL . Cling to Christ my friends and contend always for the true faith .

Indeed there are some who have been a twisting scripture unto their own destruction .
And it aint those who preach CHRIST and HIM crucified
its been those who preach this other gospel , WHICH IS NO GOSPEL and cannot save .
Men will do as men will do and men will teach and men do teach ,
but LAMBS gonna do as JESUS said to do . Now lift those hands and praise the glorious Lord .
Lambs believe the TESTIMONY GOD gave of HIS SON . Praise the King

Some conflate our position with our practice

Actually I believe it is more than just position, but it is our spirit/inner man that is seated in heavenly places. It's a bit of a mystery, if we can receive it, but remember Jesus mentioning that our "angels" (ie, our spirit man), do always behold the face of our Father in heaven.

We were born in Zion, of the Spirit, and are still there! in the inner man of our spirit. What a wonderful thing to contemplate, thank you Lord!

Jesus clearly tells these four men they witness these things, and the epistles confirm they did, and you accuse me of wrestling with scripture?

Jesus is talking to the Jew first, then the Gentile. So we also need to take those warnings seriously.

Its because we are IN CHRIST . It is a mystery for sure dear sister .
For now we are connected by the SPIRIT . one day we will BE THERE IN BODY and SPIRIT .
For now we dwell in old mortal flesh robes , but one day , one wonderful day
we will be THERE WITH NEW CELESTIAL BODIES , not of corruptible flesh any more .
Just as there will be new heavens and a new earth wherein righteousness will dwell .
Its a mystery sister . For now we see things darkly through a glass , but then FACE TO FACE
we shall know even as we are known . WE GONNA SEE THE GLORIOUS GOD and HIS CHRIST .
Till then we travel on a pilgramage , having tasted of the world to come , AND ONE DAY SURELY WILL .
We might not know it all , BUT PRAISE GOD we KNOW THE ONE WHO DOES and shall simply TRUST IN HE ALONE
having FAITH IN HE ALONE . And HE will be with the lambs .
