    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    What has been driving me almost insane is the Christians view of what walking "in Christ" is.

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    For me everything changed once I figured out how to walk in the spirit. I believe the spirit of Christ is my new nature and therefore I have been able to function in it. To live in it, walk by it, and be in it. When I finally figured this out is when the lights turned on. Most of my life I...

    Romans 7: Sin and the Christian

    I don't see that. I see he thought it was him and then realized it was the sin nature. He does kind of a similar thing here... Paul in Galatians 2:20 says he's crucified in the flesh. But he still lives, but not him, but Christ. Then I gotta think he's referring to the Christ within. The new...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    I stay away from Peter because his ministry was to deal with Israel and that's why he mentions the "Law" so often. I'm a Paul guy who's ministry was to the Gentiles. And again, I find nothing hard to understand concerning the New Testament Scriptures.

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    We agree. The unlearned and unstable cannot understand the simple truth. Even Corinthians tells us that which is spiritual is foolish unto them and that they cannot understand it. As for me, I find nothing difficult concerning the Scriptures. P.S. I don't think Enoch was carried straight to...

    Romans 7: Sin and the Christian

    He says it twice - It is no more I, but sin that lives in me. In Romans 7 Paul is talking about a sin nature that he had that pretty much runs his life. The Jewish people tried to control it with a gazillion Laws and they could not. What did he mean? "no more I", this signifies that it was...

    What is the new nature?

    I clearly answered you. Why you cannot understand my answer is beyond me.

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    I got about 5 minutes into your video up until you said why do people ask why the Bible is so vague. You went on to say that the Bible has a deep meaning and we need to understand the spiritual part. The Bible is so simple a child could understand it. You have to go to college and study it for...

    Romans 7: Sin and the Christian

    Romans 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...

    What is the new nature?

    I don't see "cannot go on sinning" In my Bibles I see "sin" The preachers had to add "keep going on sinning" because otherwise they cannot explain this... Romans 6 How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be...

    What is the new nature?

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

    What is the new nature?

    When I am close to the spirit of Christ, then I will function as a partner with the Lord whereby it becomes a joint effort. I believe the spirit of Christ is my new nature and therefore I have been able to function in it. To live in it, walk by it, and be in it. When I finally figured this out...

    What is the new nature?

    I remember you from a different post. You're the one that post God's Word and I'm the one who posts my opinion of false information and that I'm confused. But you are posting God's Word.

    What is the new nature?

    What I post is very biblical and not just my opinion, but the teachings of ministers that have been around for a long time. I know this comes as a complete shock to many of you who have been indoctrinated in the-old-nature-versus-the-new-nature theology. Most Christians have been taught to...

    What is the new nature?

    Yes we do have a different mindset. I live in the Bible and you call it that I have moved on. The Bible is designed to take us some place. It's to be applied and I have done that walking in the spirit and this allows me to fellowship with both God and Jesus Christ. Should I assume you can't do...

    What is the new nature?

    No I don't know what you mean. The Bible does not say Christians are perfect. It says Christians cannot sin in Christ. Here's a few verses on that... 1 John 3 & 5 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Whosoever is born of God doth not...

    What is the new nature?

    I am an expert in the New Testament because I have been able to make sense out of all of it. And so I have already leaned it. So why keep reading it everyday? And besides I can't read the New Testament anymore. At best I can only skim it because I have most of it memorized.

    What is the new nature?

    I cannot address all of your verses here because the list is too long. But here's the first 10... Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are not the "New Testament" since God did not put a paper in the Bible between Malachi and Matthew that says New Testament. Men did that... probably Catholics. Let me...

    What is the new nature?

    There is no "old man" that needs to be dragged out of the grave and fixed. We undergo a miraculous exchange at the center of our being once we have the spirit of Christ. Who we were in Adam is no longer there. We become a new person because we are now a child of God who is in Christ. The key...

    You either have the spirit or you don't

    I never read anything about an "embodiment" or a "litmus" but I do know that we either have the spirit or we don't. It's totally impossible for people to immortalize themselves and attain the righteousness of God by participating in sacraments such as to pray, praise, and give thanks. It's not...
