Now I can understand you. But there's no sense in debating whether we still sin or not, if you don't understand that we still sin. It's just that we are no longer guilty of sin, and it cannot dominate us (Ro 6:14), that is, it can no longer cause us to desire sin, and this is where the primary...

I post my materials on 12 sites, and I type them up because they are out of print, being 3-400 years old. Plus, I don't know where you get that I mention anything about Paul's dichotomy ("that which i want to do i cant"). You need to let me know what you are talking about. I think you are...

I will have to take this in, because there is too much false insinuation. I'm assuming you're use to making false accusations. The main problem is I don't even know what you are accusing.

It is essential that we take a moment to consider the inward conflict of the growing child of God. It may be said, “What if a man knows his sins to be forgiven and more, liberty” (which some call “sanctification,” “deeper life,” etc.), “then, surely, every spiritual desire must be gratified...

I wouldn't think there is a reason why we will not see God as it says.

Do you mean finite beings cannot an infinite God?

We will see God at the rapture (Mat 5:8; Job 19:26, 27)!

It is of the utmost importance, in the study of Scripture, to distinguish between God’s moral government of the world (esp. concerning Israel, still and will always be “God’s people”—NC), and the specific hope of the Church. The entire body of Old Testament prophecy, and much of the New, treats...

Hi! Yes, I mentioned this verse in my second paragraph. Believing without seeing gains the special "blessing" of being in the sonship of Christ, and inheriting the new heaven.

Hi, and thanks for your replies. It's my belief Jesus could see the face of God Jhn 6:46.

Surely, it would suffice us to see the Father, but that would not be faith, and if one cannot be satisfied without seeing Him yet, one will never be satisfied; because it would not be faith that sees Him, but our flesh! We should be most encouraged just to know that the Father is ours and we are...

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ” (Eph 1:3). Here the Apostle Paul unfolds the blessing of believers according to the purpose of the Father, and therefore their highest blessings. In this great...

Appreciate you sharing this, and showing the strength you have in Christ. It's enough for our encouragement to know we're saved and on our way up, and that nothing can change this. We think on this, while we go through our courses of trials, and we are taught by the Spirit to respond the way we...

“That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man; ye have put off the old man” (Eph 4:22; Col 3:9). What exactly is “putting off the old man”? It’s not sending it away, for it remains constant with us. To put off someone means not to attend to what they are saying, like putting...

Amen! God doesn't replace us with His Son, but desires our personal character (in our new man) that He gave us. This is where the fellowship is, personally with the soul and its character.

This one is special to my heart! “The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love” (Jer 31:3). God cannot be otherwise than He is. All of our Father’s actions are perfectly free. His first act, as Paul tells us, was His purpose of the incarnation...

God knew man was going to be a sinner, which answers to His provision for a way out of our sin—which is the Cross of Christ—His only Begotten! His desire for others to come to Him comes from the fact that He made us to be incarnate, and knew we would have a carnal, sinful nature, which is used...

This is the basis for growth—to be so occupied with Christ, as to forget self! While told to reckon ourselves dead, we are looked upon as already dead in Christ. How is this? Christ is looked upon as coming down into the place of death, that there, where I was without stirring, Christ might be...

In experiencing sin and hatred, people who want to know and love God can, by knowing and understanding His love and holiness. This is what the Tree brought, without which man would not even know good and evil, just wright and wrong. He knew most would not choose to love Him (Mat 7:13, 14), but...
