Well...that is the claim of you and many. But where is your proof, what do you base it on? I mean, if you are going to say that "this" means "this" and also "this other generation"--it would not have even been proper speech for a future generation. And if you believe that Jesus' "hour" which He...

That is not what I was commenting on. You made this statement, which does not represent the freedom we have in Christ: "The Bible teaches, You must control the sinful desires of the flesh." I do not dispute the law of Christ (not at all), but rather that the idea of "control" by "us" is not...

Yes. Meaning, that while Christ has come into their body of sin (taking sin upon Himself), the are in Him and in His righteousness, and do reign with Him until the body of sin passes away. During the times of the gentiles which is the time of the gathering of the saints, Satan has just...

Not both the flesh and the Spirit in the resurrection, but the flesh in the resurrection and the Spirit in the ascension--two separate events. The essential difference is the understanding that "ascension" actually means going from the flesh to the Father whom is spirit--meaning that He and we...

As in believing all as it was written, rather than only in part. When the scriptures say "was", "were", "has been"...only some fully believe as if these are past, just as it is written. Only these are able and fully empowered "to live is Christ." The foreshadowing of Jesus walking among the...

No exactly. None of the time that Christ lives in us is for us. His work in us is finished, which is to say we are saved already, made new, perfect...but not that old man that now walks under the power of God in Christ--that is Christ, who continues to the end of times for the delivering of the...

No, not the cusp of those of this time, but the cusp regarding those of that time 2,000 years ago. The point of recognizing the times that they lived in, is to understand the importance of what Paul instructed about "rightly dividing the word of truth." The point being, that it does not all...

It is fine to call the sin nature a sin nature when one chooses sin, or in the case that all have fallen short. But I would call it a God Nature...just as Satan recognized it, not that I am standing with him--I'm not. But just as the demons knew who Christ was, Satan also knew what was in our...

I can answer that: It is the world that is our chastisement by God. We are made manifest as a witness of our choice of life or death before the Judgement, wherein God has also sent salvation through Christ, that whether one lived during those times looking forward to His coming, or backward...

That is perhaps how it would appear from the writings of Paul, but that is not exactly what he was addressing. Paul was simply speaking with compassion and relaying their struggles and how to deal with them as if they were his own, or referring to such a time when they were his own...just as he...

First, I would caution the use of the word "soul" in many cases...for it can be a matter of confusion, as if it were a third part, which it is not. In any case, one who is "saved" is more than "preserved blameless high above in heavenly places in Christ"--although it is fine to consider it so...

Man being made in the image of God, is but an image; and that image is made manifest with a choice...which has been referred to as a "sin nature." However, since Adam was actually created with the choice of choosing to do the commandment of God or not, regarding the tree of life, it is not that...

It is good to teach that one must also be born [again] of the Spirit, for this is the salvation of God. However, the idea of a "sin nature" is greatly misunderstood. The outcome is the same so there is really no need to debate it as some do. But it is better to understand the truth: Since...

One might think this is true--but it is not...and it would mean that history has taught us nothing from Israel's failure to keep the law. Moreover, that this is not the answer at all, but rather, as Paul said, "by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified." And returning to this way of...

That's all good, but I'm still not sure what you are getting at or why you mention it regarding "this generation", "now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation", "I am coming quickly" or "the things which must shortly take place" 2,000 years ago.

This is certainly an interesting point and worthy of study and debate, however I would suggest that it does not offer the proof one would think. But rather, if one goes back to the beginning for understanding, the evidence that is discovered, is that having a choice to go against God's...

This is like the Soup or Salad, Paper or Plastic question. Sadly...the answer for both is, Yes. For some--those who believe that "now is the accepted time...now is the day of salvation", they enter(ed) into glory with Christ, when He entered into them, having fully opened the door when they...

If nothing else...that is a good definition and the crux of the problem. It is true that if one spiritually identifies with and continues to walk in that carcass that actually died on the cross 2,000 years ago--yeah, that's a problem--and yes, in that case it is most definitely YOU sinning...

:D Hahaha! Oh, it is no laughing matter--but I see another side... I am sure it's not just me, but that many here are just as guilty of doing just the opposite that we are in trouble on the worldly front--I mean, with my wife, family, work, friends, projects, the list goes on! I find myself...

Indeed...this is only a matter of semantics, which at times is even unavoidable...but certainly no reason for division. For instance, here you refer to God's Spirit as "it", but then refer to Him as "He"...which the scriptures do also using one word for both. In fact, I must say, it is more...
