I wrote "The nature of the new birth/new man is not wanting to sin." and you replied... Just because there is a conflict as layed out in Rom 7, that does not negate our desire to be pleasing to the Lord. Even Paul said, "For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I...

But you said His blood takes away the desire to sin. When I asked for Scriptural support none of the verses you offered mentioned either blood or desire. That's why I counted it as a fail.

God is able to have mercy on the wicked because He poured out His wrath on His Son.

Not one of those references mention either 'blood' or the word 'desire' as in 'take away the desire to sin. FAIL! I was looking for something that supports the boldened part of this sentence... Love is a fruit of the Spirit, and trespasses are sins due to immaturity in the fruit of the Spirit...

If God loves unconditionally, then His wrath is meaningless, unless you want to redefine wrath as agape love.

Could you please share the Scripture where it says ‘the Blood of Jesus takes away the desire to sin’. OBTW, please don’t tell me what I do and don’t understand and I will grant you the same courtesy. Again, Scripture please. Our lack of forgiving others is a sign that we have not grasped the...

Yet we often fail at living up to 'the deeper Royal Law of Love (even though it is written on our hearts (Rom 5:5). But what is comforting as His Children when we fail, is the knowledge that we have already been covered by His unfailing righteousness.

That is also why His perfect obedience (of keeping the law) is imputed to us as a free gift... Romans 5:19 (KJV) For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

"By faith (in Christ) we establish the law" The Scriptures have already established the fact that ALL, Jew and Gentile have broken the law in word, deed, thought and intent of the heart. As long as a person continues lifts the law as a standard of righteousness but fails at keeping it in word...

I like how this thread has slowly morphed from the Good News of our sins being dealt with at Calvary, to "You can stay in the Spirit and never commit willful sins of lawlessness". This is mixing Justification with sanctification, the latter is an inner work of the Spirit and involves our...

I have a catch-all from Paul for us... Romans 3:10-12 (KJV) As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no...

What's the difference b/t a nice worldly person and a nice Christian? Let me take some poetic license in my answer… 3 nails.

Excellent point!

Sadly, that is the case with some.

That is not contrary to my original statement..."The nature of the new birth/new man is not wanting to sin." Elsewhere I have quoted... Galatians 5:17 (KJV) For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot...

No? What must you do to stay saved? Hebrews 7:25 (KJV) Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. I guess what Jesus prays for doesn't come to pass?

That is a non sequiter. I had said "It's the details that make the message." to this post: "It is the message of revelation chapter 20 that matters not the minor details and the message is that the great chain (the power of the gospel) is what binds satan from deceiving the nations. Satan is...

The nature of the new birth/new man is not wanting to sin. Sorry, I still believe there are two natures in us until we receive our new bodies... Galatians 5:17 (KJV) For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so...

Thanks, I would go a step further and say that the foundational of our walk in sanctification is a clear understanding of our justification in Christ. In it we receive the Holy Spirit, a new nature which means a new willingness to please God, we receive freedom from condemnation of the law as we...

But knowing the written words of scripture does let us see more than those who don't know Scripture. Matthew 22:29 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. Mark 12:24 (KJV) And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err...
