Right. The natural seed definitely participated in the promises, but the promises were never to the natural seed. They were always to the spiritual seed whom GOD chose. That is why in the midst of natural Israel you had those who were GOD's people and those who weren't. It is a matter of faith...

I am very open to ideas, but so far no one can explain it in a simple way that the holy spirit bears witness with. And I am now convinced that is because it isn't the truth. The truth is simple, and when something is right the holy spirit bears witness. That's how we know what is truth and what...

You're still alive right? This is so contradictory: your old man is dead, but you are still alive? hmmm... When you sin, where does that come from? Don't tell me that it's just a decision you make and you pull it out of thin air. Sin doesn't come from a vacuum. Whether you believe in the old...

They were condemned by the GOD of creation. Figurative speech flies over your head apparently. Surely you're not that clueless. And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an...

This is what I also believe, DF.

There is a sinfulness that permeates our whole being. The body has been defiled by sin. In its current form, it cannot, and never will, enter GOD's presence. It must die. Not because it has or hasn't sinned, but because it has been defiled by sin. Regarding 1 John 1:8-10, John doesn't say "if...

I think that list makes artificial characterizations that don't exist except in someone's mind. I can find truth in all 3 models, but the characteristics of the walk of faith is not limited to any one of those.

The lord said what he said. I think it's dangerous to try to rationalize it. Unregenerate or regenerated is irrelevant. To inwardly desire acting out a sin is the same as doing it. The heart is defiled either way, though the latter is worse. Temptation itself is not sin, but temptation doesn't...

What people are failing to realize is that the flesh (the natural man) has been defiled by sin and can never enter GOD's presence. That is why it must die, or be transformed when Christ returns. The fact that a transformation occurs at the lord's return speaks against the idea that our bodies...

Laid, don't pay any attention to him. What kind of unfeeling jerk does it take to read what you're having to go through and say 'Get over it'?

Circumcision is a done deal through which we received a new heart.

I'm sorry, but that made absolutely no sense to me.

The blood cleanses us from ALL sin if we walk in the light. The light is the truth; the truth is we are sinners. When we acknowledge our sinfulness we are speaking the truth and dwell in the light. If we deny our sinfulness, we walk in darkness because we are not speaking the truth. Those who...

All sin is rebellion. Whatever is not of faith is sin. No sin is acceptable.

It is impossible for any creature of GOD to produce offspring contrary to its nature. When Adam sinned, he became one spirit with sin. His son Isaac inherited his nature and had a spirit one with sin. It would have been impossible for Isaac to have been one spirit with GOD. That only is...

Christ received dominion and a kingdom from his father. He doesn't receive one from men as you are trying to teach. That's pot calling the kettle black, isn't it?

I'll assume no response means yes. Did the father forgive his prodigal son before he repented? You bet he did. He longed to see his son again and forgave him long before he came home. That is the nature of GOD, to love his children. You do not understand this love. You think GOD is harsh and...

Partial. I believe all prophecy regarding the earthly kingdoms of Judah and Israel has been fulfilled. They have run their course. Anything not yet fulfilled, or currently being fulfilled, pertains to the kingdom of GOD.

You are in extreme denial, and your analogy is only partly correct. You have not been given a new operating system; it is being renewed. You are not perfect; you are being perfected. Big difference. Also, you cannot separate the sin nature from the body; the mind and flesh are one. Separating...
