    SALVATION OF ANIMALS

    I never said Jesus was created. He was born and I think many people believe that. Now how do you exist before you're born?

    SALVATION OF ANIMALS

    The Apostles were witnessing to new people all of the time. Not all people who went to their meetings or read their letters were already Christian and I was once one of those people. Who do you think Paul was writing to when he said... Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the...

    Are You Dead to Self?

    May I ask what "name it claim it" means?

    Are You Dead to Self?

    What you call the fantasy world has me very close to the Christ. Right inside the spirit as close as I can get right in their face. The Greek word menō translated "abide" often deals with being in him, which I'm very concerned about when it comes to walking in Christ, which I believe is the same...

    Are You Dead to Self?

    You are confusing walking by the spirit with being perfect. @Ronald Nolette has the same problem. He too thinks being in Christ means being perfect.

    SALVATION OF ANIMALS

    First John 1:8 is referring to those who are not born again who say they don't need Jesus because they do not sin. It is not referring to the Christian.

    It says in the beginning was the Word. It does not say in the beginning was Jesus.

    No Condemnation For Those In Christ (Romans 8:1)

    I do not keep his commandments because I want to dwell in him nor is it how to dwell in him. I dwell in him which is why I keep his commandments. 24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

    Are You Dead to Self?

    I am not in the flesh. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit,

    SALVATION OF ANIMALS

    That's probably why you think I can't be in the spirit from sun up till sun down because you can't which is probably because you think walking in him means doing the Word or some nonsense like that.

    Are You Dead to Self?

    We experience a death to our old sin nature once we are baptized into Christ. It’s dead and gone because it does not exist anymore. We become totally new in our spirit when we are born again, and this is how our old nature has been completely changed. Our minds are similar to computers in the...

    Are You Dead to Self?

    There's no lusting after the flesh when we are in Christ. You can lust after the flesh because you walk in your flesh. I do not. I walk in the spirit... Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

    SALVATION OF ANIMALS

    I thought about you today because you have asked me many times if I sin. You need to get off of me by not asking if I'm sinless. And ask if I'm sinless in Christ.

    You need to get off of me by not asking if I'm sinless. And ask if I'm sinless in Christ.

    You got that right.

    Are You Dead to Self?

    I probably don't see the question is why I don't answer. As soon as I see you quoting Romans 7. Then I know what you believe and don't need to read any further since I then already know what you believe. You think Romans 7 is addressed to Christians and I do not. If you want an answer from me...

    Are You Dead to Self?

    Romans 7 tells us right up at the top of the chapter that Paul is talking to those who are into or know the law. And then the context of the whole chapter is how we can see it's all about Israel and their Law and how they toy with their flesh. What Paul talks about in the seventh chapter of...

    Are You Dead to Self?

    Yes you are correct. We see it different. You believe Paul is still living in his old nature trying to slug it out to follow Christ. I see the old nature being totally obliterated once the spirit of Christ enters the Christian.

    Are You Dead to Self?

    Paul did it to. It's not the body, but the spirit that has become a new creature. In other words, it's in the spirit that we have become a brand-new species because our spirit is totally new and therefore there is not an old sin nature left in us. We undergo a miraculous exchange at the center...

    Are You Dead to Self?

    I have nothing in me that involves putting to death the sinful desires and inclinations that belong to our old nature, thereby removing obstacles that hinder me from living out my new identity in Christ. Walking in the spirit for me is not an act of an ongoing effort.
