Hi, hope this finds your heart at rest. Maybe if I itemize some of your questions your mind might be at peace.
I’m sorry you find my postings vague. But I think it is this statement of yours that is vague and not my postings. For you give no evidence of the vagueness just state it and move on to your questionings hoping to find fault. For the proof is;
Just making a blanket accusation and leaving it there and ignoring what the OP was about and just throwing questions that were meant to confuse is proof of your intent.
But I will do my best to answer what are very ambiguous questions.
Do you believe that in Christ is no sin..
Yes, Christ is God and therefore sinless.
.and that those who enter into Him do not sin...and cannot sin...as long as they remain IN Him?
This is a question with no real answer for the question itself is based in a misunderstanding of scriptural truth.
One does not enter into Christ to not sin. It is the Divine Nature that has come to birth in the believer, that is that which can not and doesn’t sin. And it is the growth of this Divine Nature that causes a believer to walk in newness of life.
For it is to the degree that the believer yields to this new life or nature that dictates how much freedom from sin that believer experiences.
Or do you think, as the modern doctrine goes, that we will always sin in these bodies as long as we are alive on earth...in spite of what Jesus did through His death and resurrection?
It depends on what you mean when you say “that we will always sin in these bodies as long as they are on the earth”
Scripture calls these bodies we live in the “body of this death” we humans are going to die because of the sin that still dwells in them.
But this is what our salvation in Christ consists of being made free from the body of this death. This is done as scripture says; by “reckoning ourselves dead to sin and alive unto God”. For in this faith do we experience being set free from the “body of this death”
Or; by this statement if your asking if a believer can be 100% free from sin while living in these bodies the answer is; no.
But a believer can, as Paul says;
“I know nothing against myself”
Meaning that Paul was aware of no sin in his life. Yes they can get to that place in there walk with God, all it would take is a heart like Paul had for God. For God is no respecter of persons. Though the “offices” God calls one to, might be different the intimate fellowship with Christ can be the same. But Paul doesn’t stop there he proceeds to say, “just because I know nothing against myself doesn’t mean I’m guiltless, it is God who judges me”. Meaning that just because Paul was not conscious of any sin didn’t mean there were none there.
But to the bigger question I think you’d liked answered “how does one get freed from sin”?
It is by seeing their deaths in Christ and reckoning that so as scripture commands.
Or do you prefer to not come clean on this but continue to post vague statements that can be interpreted to mean something unoffensive to carnal ears?
This is just you making up something to accuse a believer of.
What is the purpose of all your postings? Why be vague?
My postings are only vague to those that choose to make them so.
All my best in Christ and hoping for a increase in your personal relationship with Christ so you might actually show the love of Christ in your posts.
Sorry to speak so boldly.
Much love in Christ, Not me
