I can tell you about a past experience of mine talking in the present tense. People today do it all the time. So the fact that Paul was taking in the present tense does not prove that he was talking about his experience as a Christian. However, if you are still in doubt, there are 8 reasons...

What is the righteousness of the Law in Romans 8:4? Romans 8:4 says, "That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." This is saying that the righteous part or aspect of the Old Law can be fulfilled in us. Paul says elsewhere, 8...

One of the most eye opening experiences for me was realizing that Christians are not under the 613 laws of Moses. Yes, there are laws in the Torah that can be of good benefit it one uses it lawfully (1 Timothy 1:8). There are even laws that have been repeated from the Old Law on into the New...

In Defending the true meaning of Romans 7: In Romans 7:1-6, Paul is telling Messianic Christians (i.e. those brethren who know Old Testament Law - Romans 7:1) that the Old Law is dead and that they should serve in newness of Spirit (i.e. the New Testament Scriptures that were still being...

There are always going to be fakers. Those who pretend to live holy and yet they are not really for doing that. That really should not be an excuse to not believe God’s Word, though (See again Romans 8:13, 2 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 Corinthians 7:1, and Romans 13:14). God’s people can only live...

Your words contradict the Bible. “And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.” (Galatians 5:24). “Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased...

In Mathew 19 involving the young rich ruler: Well, the young rich ruler would have had to repent of his many riches of which he was not willing to give up. So it had to deal with his unwillingness to follow Jesus. If you were to read the end of the chapter in Matthew 19, it does not conclude...

You said, “God… doesn’t sanctify us perfectly in this world.” Quote by: dhh712. The Bible says, “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 JesusChrist.” (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Who am I...

Again, you can rejoice in Christians being able to overcome these sins, and that is something to rejoice in indeed. But again, if you also teach future sin is forgiven us and you believe 1 John 1:8 is saying that you must always commit some kind of individual sin on occasion in this life (not...

I believe Matthew 28:19 is saying to be baptized into the name of Jesus, as well. Jesus was saying that the disciples were to baptize in the name (singular) that represents all three persons of the Godhead or Trinity. This is Jesus. For the fulness of the Godhead welled within the man Christ...

Most don’t believe the words of Jesus when He spoke about how sin can destroy our souls in the afterlife, and they think 1 John 1:8 is an excuse that they must sin on occasion (with them thinking they are still saved while they commit these occasional sins). So they are not in agreement with...

Over 10 years I have talked with Christians online and in person and so I am not new to these kinds of discussions and what the Bible plainly says. So why do I believe this way? Well, from my extensive research and discussions with many, I have discovered that there are two popular groups of...

What is your view of 1 John 1:8? Most Christinas today take 1 John 1:8 as if it was some kind of banner flag that they wave around to say that they must sin on some level when that’s not what it is saying. They believe they must declare they have sin (even though the verse is a warning to the...

Most in Christianity desire to justify sin (Whether you agree with that truth or not). It simply is the truth according to God’s Word, and my extensive research and experience in the present day world we live in. 2 Timothy 3:1-9 says in the last days perilous times will come and men shall be...

You said, I quote: “I mean, “go and sin no more” sounds to us like we need to obey that. But it’s all designed to get us to see we CANT.” Quote by stunnedbygrace.

When you make a downpayment on a house, that does not mean you don’t have to make any mortgage payments. The Holy Spirit is the downpayment of our inheritance. But as Paul says that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Meaning, if we go back to living unrighteously or we never...

I believe a person can admit that they are a sinner when they first come to God’s grace (Which is what we see in Luke 18:9-14). But after a Christian is saved by God’s grace, they should not remain in their sins or think they are a defeated sinner. Titus 2:11-12 says that God’s grace teaches us...

This expression is generally used as a form of disapproval. I take it you disapprove to what I said with God’s Word. If that is the case: Well, I am just a messenger of God’s Word. If you disagree with what God has said we can discuss what His Word actually says. The verses I posted are...

Christians can overcome sin in this life if they “Continue in the Word” (John 8:31). For by doing so, they will know the truth, and the truth will set them free (John 8:32). Christians should not conform to this world. But Christians should be transformed by the renewing of their mind, so...

The problem is that you are going off your own thinking here and not what the Bible teaches. God wanted the Israelites to win many battles as a part of fighting. We also have a battle to fight but it is a spiritual one. You believe you must fight despite you will fail the battle when it comes...
