    Is there anything that you like about Muslims?

    What has been abundantly clear in recent years and throughout history is that Islam doesn't coexist with anyone. Christians are slaughtered all over the world by Islam and we keep pretending like it isn't happening and welcoming it into our Christian nations. Here's what the Jewish wars are...

    What is the new nature?

    I wonder if what is written in Romans goes without saying because the culture of the time just knew that the renewed mind can only be done in the spirit as we see in Ephesians. Perhaps it's not... be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. But rather... be renewed in the spirit of your...

    What is the new nature?

    Let's take them one at a time. Romans 12:2 first... You believe the spirit of Christ needs to learn by us changing our thinking. Or you think the spirit of Christ is trying to change us. I believe the renewed mind is when we realize who we are and what we have already received in Christ. It’s...

    What is the new nature?

    It’s not in the process of becoming new because it’s already as pure and perfect as it can be. This is not something that has yet to happen or has to happen over and over. It’s a done deal because in our new, born-again spirit, we are dead to sin. And so our sin nature is dead and gone, but it...

    What is the new nature?

    No I never wondered why Paul say he dies daily because we all do. 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 believe that after salvation, they are still the same at their...

    Your Soul IS Immortal, Until...

    I have grown up even into an advanced senior Christian and I still don't follow what you are writing about here. What's your point?

    Your Soul IS Immortal, Until...

    The context that brought up a teacher of mine was Bullinger's translation of the word "spinal Cord" and God does not translate Greek into English for me. So I use men for that.

    What is the new nature?

    I'm disappointed because I had hopped some of you Bible scholars would have shed some new light on the "new nature" and instead you have either not understood the question or have dragged me back down into the sin nature. I know this comes as a complete shock to many of you who have been...

    The false doctrine of the immortality of the soul.

    Well, hallelujah now I have an idea what the dead are and therefore what gets up. The spirit of Christ must be involved with the soul somehow because of our new nature. The spirit of Christ has to be intertwined because of... 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new...

    What is the new nature?

    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 event causing this exchange is a death, burial, and resurrection with Christ...

    What is the new nature?

    Galatians 6:8 is being suggested here by others that a Christian that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption. A human that reaps corruption is a non-Christian. The Catholics were the first to come up with this confession of sins, which is why I mention them. Galatians 6:8 For he...

    What is the new nature?

    There's got to be a reason why you guys can't see this. I betcha you it's the Catholics. Galatians 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; That would be the guy without spirit. but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. That...

    Was Noah's flood global?

    There's a whole bunch of people that don't see any need for God to do that when humans were only at that time in a certain part of the earth. The area that flooded is around a lot of water like the Mediterranean sea, Black sea, Caspian sea and the Atlantic ocean on the other side. It would have...

    What is the new nature?

    Here's a bit more for you Bible fans... What Paul talks about in the seventh chapter of Romans is what occurs to the believer who still thinks the Law applies to them. They end up spiritually dying by the commandment and realize that the commandment does not produce life. The war is with their...

    What is the new nature?

    Am I wrong with this... The New Testament epistles have words like "remission of sins" and "sins may be blotted out" and "the forgiveness of sins" and "wash away thy sins" and "whose sins are covered" and "impute sin" and "are dead to sin" and "condemned sin in the flesh" and "take away their...

    What is the new nature?

    Kind a hard to think of myself as a sinner when I read 2 Corinthians 5:21... ... so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. (NIV) ... that we might be made the righteousness of God in him..... (KJV) New Living Translation

    Was Noah's flood global?

    Tell me again what God flooding a part of the earth and regional local floods have in common?

    What is the new nature?

    1 John 3:6 Whosoever abideth "in him" sinneth not: It's the "in him" that nobody seems to be able to understand. This whole thing functions "in him." It's in Christ and therefore in the new nature. It's not that we do not sin in our old man nature. It's that we do not sin in the new man that we...
