I now understand being in Christ is being in the spirit and neither of them (in Christ or in the spirit) has anything to do with the darn flesh. It now seems perfectly clear to walk in or by the spirit is the same as putting on the Lord Jesus Christ. It's the same as having fellowship with Jesus...

Gentiles too.

I don't know how I became the subject of sin. The Bible says I'm the righteousness of God and that I have died to sin. If you want to believe you are still trash. Then go right ahead.

*** Okay I will do them all... Matthew 5:48 - Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. *** Not talking to Christians. Christ has not even been resurrected. Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind...

Now why would you think I'm not in Christ from sun up to sun down?

I do not believe John was talking to the Christian in the verse that you mention. A belief system called Gnosticism was taking root in Christianity at the time the book of John was being written that taught there was a supreme and unknowable Being, which they designated as the "Monad." The Monad...

The words “HOLY SPIRIT” in the Bible are primarily used in two very different ways: One way is to refer to God Himself and the other is referring to God’s nature that He gives to people. God is holy and is spirit and therefore “the Holy Spirit” with a capital “H” and a capital “S” is one of the...

Well, I have a lot of you folks for a long time telling me I'm flawed and my concepts make no sense. I thought I would give a little back. The word "flesh" is mentioned a gazillion times in the Bible and it carries many meanings.

I don't know why you think I'm taking pop shots because I'm using this other post as an example on how to read the Bible. I have a flesh body. But when the Bible talks about the flesh it mostly can be seen from the context that it's referring to those without the spirit of Christ. I like the...

You are using words that are not in the Bible. It says sin. It does not say anything about perfect. Here read them for yourself and note the word "perfect" is not mentioned... Romans 6 How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? our old man is crucified with him, that the body...

Like most words in the Bible they have many meanings and we need to know how to understand them in the context. In English we have different meanings for the word "bark" and so now I will be you. So let's say there was a bark nearby and I wrote it down because the sound scared me. And on the...

I cannot sin in him. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

How can I have the conviction of sin and be made the righteousness of God at the same time? 2 Corinthians 5:21 ...that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Again, "in him"

I got into a a heated debate just a few weeks ago about using the same words that the Bible uses so we could understand what the Bible is saying. The debate was long and it went on and on and he never got it. He simply did not understand that there's no such thing as a Gentile Christian. He went...

I will tell you what closed the case for me. When I found out there's a law on the books that says you cannot have a vaccine if there's already a drug on the market that can successfully treat the virus. And we had two over the counter drugs that could do just that. And that's why our government...

Again, for the gazillionth time. It's "in him"... There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

My thinking is not flawed. You can't be a sinner and the righteousness of God at the same time. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

You can have this if you are a Christian walking in your flesh... This shows us that flesh and spirit co-exist, and are against each other, each having it's own desires, those desires being contrary to the other's desires. But you do not have it if you are a Christian walking in the spirit...

Romans 7 tells us right up at the top of the chapter that Paul is talking to those who are into or know the law. And then the context of the whole chapter is how we can see it's all about human's and how they toy with their flesh. What Paul talks about in the seventh chapter of Romans is what...

He did not. He's living out a history of himself speaking in a way that refers to himself before Christ got to him.
