Philippians 3:10, 10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; When you live as an "I" person you don't go around talking like the world. What does the world say? I'm sick all the time, I don't have...

20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. When you preach the crucified life people always want to know about their death. A...

Philippians 3:10-14 10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect...

Galatians 3:16, Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. You know what is in the seed? The greatest love ever known to mankind, and that is a shared love between the seed, Christ, and the...

1 Corinthians 1:30, 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: How are these things made unto us? How is it that God made unto us all these things? Well we can see it is by Christ but how is it that we can...

We are not going anywhere, again no one said Adam was created to sin. You are speculating on what is being said. You have some interesting thought out ideas but they do not have any scriptural basis. I believe you are in over your head trying to prove something that is not written, not that it...

Ok but they must believe, and every man is given that measure of faith, so agree yes. They were what they were by obedience not Christ in them as we are. We are made the righteousness of God by Christ in you nature. Christ is all to the NT believer.

All due respect, quite a stretch of the word. A simple yes or no on the new creation in Christ in the OT? I do thank you for your comments.

A human being is not sinful, what makes a sinner is their nature. Christ did not have the nature handed down through Adam, which is a sin nature, his father was God (you get a nature by a father). That makes a human being sinful not their actions, sinners by nature. The cross did away with...

First, no one said anything about a sinner doing anything but believe on the finished work of the cross for salvation, which constitutes a birthing. If you are making a reference to Old Testament saints and a birthing, there is no cross for them. Without the cross there is no born again by...

Are you saying there were Old Testament saints that were new creations? Born again as New Testament saints are, with Christ in them.

Thanks for commenting, interesting perspective. We will see things quite different when it comes to a bonified birthing. My understanding is there could be no birthing until the old man sin nature was killed out on the cross. That is what happened on the cross, so I see no birthing until after...

2 Corinthians 12:9, 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. So how do we put all this together and it become a living reality of...

Philippians 3:9, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: The reality of being found in Christ or having the knowledge of Christ in you, is the most powerful...

Question! curious if anyone can see the birthing, an act of God totally independent of the sinner doing anything but believing?

True, but to be able to divide soul and spirit the word of God that is sharper than any two edged sword has to be used. The line between soul and spirit so finite so to say! there must be a precision cut. Only the word of God, the sword of God, can make the division. We cannot properly interpret...

Galatians 2:20, 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. If you check your new translations of scripture you will find two of...

1 Thessalonians 5:23, 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Read through must I spell everything out, spirit.

Hebrews 4:12, 12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. How does the sword work in a believers life...
