No more animal sacrifice. Before you knew about Jesus, you could bring your lamb to the temple and God would receive it, under the covenant that is "growing obsolete, and getting ready to vanish away". But then you learn about Jesus, the Gospel. Now you cannot just go back to the temple. It's Jesus or nothing.
Much love!
Reader,
Not only can you not go back to the temple, as Marks stated, you have become it.
We the born again are the "temple of the Holy Spirit".
Can God live in a dirty Temple... ????????
Nope.
"well, behold, my pope, pastor, minister, mom and dad, and my bishop, and my priest all told me that i am "going to sin some, continually, because that is why repenting and confessing" exist. = and deceived people believe that is what Christianity is all about. That God saved you with His own blood, so that you can now go sin and repent and never stop.
""" Behold, im supposed to sin so that i can repent it all away so that God will take me back again and again and again"... See, that's the Gospel, behold".
= That is your religion of self effort to try to replace the blood of Jesus with YOURSELF.
GET OFF THE CROSS, you are not worthy to be up there.....
Believe it.
Or this one.....>"Behold, im supposed to be a repenting sinner so that i can run to 1st John and misunderstand "if we say we have no sin", thinking that is the Apostle who is a dirty sinner talking to a bunch of born again dirty sinners"... = yikes. !!
So really?
You think you are a sinner, because you mess up, and feel guilty?
Listen, the only way you can be a "sinner" is to be an unbeliever., and then the dominion of the Law can truthfully define you as a sinner.
There is NO sin in Christ, and if you are born again, you are "In Christ".
IF you are born again, you are RE-DEFINED by the Blood of JESUS, as God's SON, a Saint, and a Child of the Light.
"But behold, what if i sin"...... = You can't. What you can do is a work of the flesh, that i teach as a carnal deed, and Paul defines as a "work of the flesh".
If you want to sin, then you'd have to be not-born again.
But behold.......that verse that says...>"if any man sin', we have an advocate".
YES< if any man does.
But that verse does not say, if any BORN AGAIN sin...... does it?
It does not.
You have to notice the little word play in verses, so that you discover who the verse is NOT Talking to..... Reader.
See, God lives in you, because He has made YOU his very Righteousness.
God would not live in you, nor would Christ, nor would the Holy Spirit, if you were a sinner.
You are not a sinner, if you are born again.
You are a saint who is "ONE" with God and Christ.
Only the Law can define you as a sinner.
You are not under the law, you are under Grace, if you are born again.
Can you commit a carnal deed, or commit a work of the flesh? Yep.
Can you "sin" if you are born again?.....Not if God is in you.
Is He?
Then there is your final answer.
