Right. That wasn't always true. You see, it is Jesus, not I who is the Author of my faith. What you probably have not been taught is that Jesus takes away THE DESIRE to sin, and in Him is no sin. Once you learn the truth, the truth will set you free. Free from what? SIN, including the source -...

Yes it does, because Jesus takes away all desire to sin, and in Him is no sin. I am in Him, and He is in Me, and we communicate continuously. You are recklessly playing the devil, and are in communication with him, listening to his lies of defeatism.

I did not have a desire to sin, but I know the Word, and shut down my free will. Remember Adam wasn't created with a desire to sin, just free will.

That's a lie of the devil. It is no wonder you live in defeat. The devil teaches defeatism. Romans 8:9 "But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. " 1 John 5:18 "We know that...

Obviously, I obey Paul and reckon myself free from sin. In other words, I tell myself the truth. Proverbs 23:5 "as a man thinks in his heart so is he." If you keep telling yourself you are a sinner, you will be. It was false teachers that told the post apostolic church that you will "always sin"...

Sin is a long way from being presented with a temptation. All I did was turn my mind away from the object of temptation. I never let it give birth to sin. For instance, my husband was a pathological liar and sadist. Whenever I saw a kind man, I would shake my head back and forth violently...

Was there a reason you did not obey your conscience? I know Martin Luther seemed to believe in it, and gave his friend advise to SIN BOLDLY to show the power of grace. OSAS is a very dangerous doctrine in the wrong hands. When born again of the Spirit you are sinless, but far from perfect. You...

Read James again. Temptation is not a sin. Acting on a temptation becomes sin.

When Cain sinned, there was no law against what he had done to judge Him by. So he lived, and God put a mark on him so no one would kill him. That mark became a "law" to the people. There is a difference between murder and killing. It is okay to kill as in war, or in self-defense or to save...

Amen, sister.

This verse was never meant to be used over and over as a "get out of hell card." It is how to become a Christian ONCE. It is the same as Repent....and you shall be given the gift of the Holy Spirit, Acts. 2:38.

Do you ever do something against your conscience? I always obey my conscience and stay in peace. That is walking in the Spirit.

Correct.

The problem with OSAS is many use it as a license to sin. Not everyone going to church is born again of the Spirit. It is an actual life changing experience. Not just a belief of doctrine.

1 John 3:5 and 8 for me are the best scriptures that tell why He came. There is a difference in forgiving sins, and taking away the desire to sin until we get to the point that we are perfect and never stumble. 2 Peter 1:5-11 4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is...
