    ROMANS 8 EXPLAINED

    You will not believe my answers because you will not see them as answers. You and some others are telling everyone that you do not sin in the flesh because you now have the power to not sin in the flesh. According to the scriptures if a person says they have no sin then they are lying. I will...

    shutting up the kingdom

    How is my saying that Jesus' shed blood on the cross is the power of God is saying that there is no power of God?. As I see it you want to replace the power of Christ in the gospel of grace to us as a free gift with your power. The gospel of grace IS THE POWER OF GOD TO SAVE ANYONE THAT PLACES...

    ROMANS 8 EXPLAINED

    Just keep up your lies. NO ONE HAS SAID THAT A CHILD OF GOD SINS IN CHRIST. But everyone, including the child of God sins in their sinful flesh. By the way, if you keep up this idea after this then you are committed sins of the flesh. But I think you and some others just will not see that...

    shutting up the kingdom

    And I know you think I am the one doing this. But I can say you are doing it. You can't see that God has dealt with mankind differently in the ages (dispensations). You can't get over that fact that there was an age (dispensation) of Law and now there is the age (dispensation) of grace. It...

    ROMANS 8 EXPLAINED

    I am not denying anything of the sorts except your idea that Jesus is making your sinful flesh into non-sinful flesh. You claim your power to not sin in the flesh. I claim the power of the cross which has set me free from the condemnation of my sinful flesh.. Not by giving ME the power but...

    ROMANS 8 EXPLAINED

    There is no transition. A child of God still lives in a sinful body of flesh.

    ROMANS 8 EXPLAINED

    No one is saying that a child of God sins in Christ as you have indicated. That is a false charge. IMHO -- Paul recognized that a born again child of God has two natures. No one is saying (as you indicated) that a child of God sins in the spirit, but it seems that there are those that just...

    shutting up the kingdom

    Jesus said this to the religious Pharisees and I think it happened in the event I described in The Tragic Story I posted and is happening on forums today. Matt 23:11-13 11 But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles...

    ROMANS 8 EXPLAINED

    *** How can they identify with Romans 7 if they were not born again and did not have two natures? No child of God WANTS TO SIN but it is a fact that the sinful bodies they live in DO SIN. If you say you have no sin then according to scripture the truth is not in you.

    ROMANS 8 EXPLAINED

    Those that replied are saying that a person born of God does not sin in the flesh. The scriptures never teach this. To these it is all about man and what he does and they never focus on what Jesus did for sinful man. They never focus on the power of God that was in Jesus' work on the cross...

    ROMANS 8 EXPLAINED

    These verse are about where a person has placed their faith. Is in God’s work or their own works. Rom 8:1-16 8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. A child of God walks in the Spirit and has no confidence...

    Dispensationalism

    Eph 1:9-10 9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, 10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth — in Him. NKJV...

    Flesh VS Spirit

    *** NO !!!!, That idea is just what the religious use to try and harmonize their idea that Paul is saying a person has to stop sinning. There is absolutely nothing in Romans 7 that says it was his past conclusions. Only man says that. I can post the entire chapter if you wish to say it is...

    Flesh VS Spirit

    You can start by acknowledging that the child of God has been given the very righteousness of God by imputation. You can finish by acknowledging that the child of God overcomes the world by their faith, not their works. 1 John 5:4-5 4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this...

    Commentary on Romans.

    I disagree with the how you define "obedience to the faith". To some this means obedience to keep the law and that is where your opinion leads too. IMHO it means a person keeping their faith, belief, trust, and confidence in the gospel of grace where it is a fact that Jesus atoned (paid) for...

    Have a wonderful day.

    Flesh VS Spirit

    Two people working on the idea that God changes the sinful nature. But in the end they both come down to an idea that their flesh no longer sins and it is because of what they do, or do not do. An idea that God has set them free only to become slaves to their sinful nature of which they, by...

    Limited Atonement VS Universal Atonement

    I said that the saints BEFORE Jesus paid for the sins of the flesh ,according to the word of God, God only COVERED (passed OVER) their sins (covered them until) and that is why they were in paradise in the earth where Jesus went for three days and set them free. He could do that then because He...

    Limited Atonement VS Universal Atonement

    The children of God ACCEPT what Jesus did on the cross and place their faith in it. They do not reject His work on the cross that saves sinners. More and more the answer to this discussion is found in Jesus' story of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. Luke 18:10-14 10 "Two men went up to the...

    Limited Atonement VS Universal Atonement

    *** You have to understand that those who are convicted of their sins are not looking for a religion that requires their ability to stop sinning in their flesh. They are looking for God to save them from their sinful flesh (self).
