I know you said Romans 7. That is what I was talking about. Did you honestly miss that fact? You cannot understand chapter 7 without 8. All of 7, not just verses 23-25, but starting with verse 7 as I pointed out! You saying to me "You don't seem to want to take all of scriptures just the ones hat you think say God changes out sinful flesh," belongs blatantly on your foot. Romans 7 and 8 is a contrast of the LAW and the SPIRIT - before and after Christ, which is why I included both. It is the difference between the old man and the new man. Your making your letters bigger doesn't mean your understanding is any bigger, just making your lack of understanding glaringly obvious. The last words you made bigger were "condemned sin in the flesh." Do you even know what Paul meant? Evidently not, if you believe Jesus left us weak, just forgiven! By the Spirit we are no longer in our sinful flesh. That is why in verse 9 he says, we are NOT in the flesh - or sin nature - but in the Spirit. One or the other - saved or unsaved. I don't know how Paul could make it any plainer, but you certainly didn't understand what he meant. If you can't understand this, you will twist the rest of scripture into a weak gospel and turn the grace of God into licentiousness, Jude 1:4

I can do all things through Christ, WHO STRENGTHENS ME. The strength comes from the SPIRIT. We are full of the power of the Spirit, IF we have the Spirit. Those who do not have the power of the Holy Spirit in them, cannot relate to what Paul is saying, still need to repent from all sin in order to be given this power, and be saved. Acts 2:38

John confirms Paul by telling us in 1 John 3:5 that Jesus was manifest to TAKE AWAY our sin. That is take away our sin nature! But we must have the Spirit. We must be born again. The Spirit is the seed in 1 John 3:9 and why we are no longer in the flesh but in the Spirit, and are new creatures in Christ. This message is all throughout the gospel and the epistles, so if you find Jesus leaving us weak, then His words of making us free indeed, is a lie. But Jesus is not the liar here.

***

No!, You just want to pass over the fact that Paul said;
Rom 7:25
25 I thank God — through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
NKJV

Then he goes on to say that there is therefore no condemnation for those in Christ.

Romans 8 does not delete Romans 7.

you don't think maybe you are taking that a bit too literally?

It is Finished, accomplished Internally.
Already established in Heavens Records.
The justified and sealed shall be redeemed.

ALL has not Yet come to pass, thus there IS more Before it is Done.

What is Finished internally Is Literal.
What Shall Be Done, Is Literal.

The Converted are Waiting...for the Judge's pronouncement and Authoritative Gavel to satisfy the legalese aspect...(so to speak).


God Bless,

ya, not buying it wadr, Life More Abundantly is all about right now, and the real "converts" are not waiting for squat.

i do understand the allure of Death More Abundantly ok, and i hope you see how it becomes pertinent to ask if you at any time gave any money to those who taught you that, first of all. i know this maybe sounds snide or gratuitous, so i'll admit that i gave them...my share; i mean the Q to be taken at face value, ha well left at face value anyway, being as how i doubt you will want to even answer it

Show the scripture reference or are we to just accept your word for it.
Have you ever read the story of David and Bathsheba? David was guilty of murder and adultery, yet God made it go away forgiving him.

ya, not buying it wadr,

Just so you know; I'm not the one selling.
I accept what the Lord Has given me and Trust His Word of what Shall come to pass.

Life More Abundantly is all about right now,

and the real "converts" are not waiting for squat.

Of course I disagree and so does Scripture.

i do understand the allure of Death More Abundantly ok,

Ok.


[/QUOTE]and i hope you see how it becomes pertinent to ask if you at any time gave any money to those who taught you that, first of all. [/QUOTE]

ANY TIME? Yes there were a few times I went to a church.

Taught me? No.

Put money in the Offering for their effort?
Yes.

Continued? No.

Decided on aother Teacher ? Yes.

He doesn't require Money.

He required Authority over the whole of my Life and I chose to give Him that.

i know this maybe sounds snide or gratuitous, so i'll admit that i gave them...my share;

Ok.

i mean the Q to be taken at face value, ha well left at face value anyway, being as how i doubt you will want to even answer it

Not a problem. Everyone has the option to choose their own Teacher. I chose mine a long time ago and am content with my choice.

God Bless,
