Seems to me like you are contradicting yourself here. Trying to expose my preaching as "false" is not something that I would call "special favour". Maybe you should start teaching some things on here and I will show you some special favour by exposing it as false. You have basically...

That is what I believe it means in Romans 6:6, yes.

Imagine a doctor who has a remedy for a disease, and goes around telling everyone, "you need this remedy" but does not go into any detail as concerning what the disease is that he has the remedy to. The doctor who defines the disease and shows his patient the disease and why he needs the remedy...

btw, please look at the similarities between the verses that I reference. In Romans 6:6 I was referring to the fact that the old man is crucified; as that is also what is expressed in Galatians 5:24 as regarding the flesh...and I am saying that in that crucifixion sin is rendered dead as we can...

Right...it's rendered dead. So, what do you think of it when I compare Romans 6:6 (kjv) w/ Colossians 2:11 (kjv), (NLT)? Rom 6:6, Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Col 2:11, In whom also ye...

Do what it says in Hebrews 13:15 and Romans 8:4.

The element of sin is rendered dead (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8) so that it no longer has any say over our behaviour (Romans 6:14). Try looking up the verses this time.

I know that you want so badly to believe what is taught by your church organization... But it falls miserably short of the truth. The reality is that the gift of being able to forgive and retain sins is given to all those who will receive the Holy Spirit. Also, that particular gift isn't...

The evangelist preaches the law as a schoolmaster to lead men to Christ; and the Holy Spirit convicts (brings the knowledge of sin, John 16:8-9) through the law. Rom 3:20, Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

I'm not in disagreement with any of that. I believe that it is the element of sin that John is speaking of in 1 John 1:8; which can, I suppose, be referred to as the sinful nature. Which element can be rendered dead (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8) so that it no longer has any say over...

You wish....because I have in the only recent past, as concerning our lifetimes, retained your sins against me. But clearly, the promise that we can retain or forgive sins is given to those who receive the Holy Spirit. That is the context of John 20:22-23.

It is given to all those who will receive the Holy Spirit by faith.

Explain to us what the verse is truly saying, then. It seems clear to me that 1 John 1:8 is speaking of indwelling sin; because if it is speaking of practical sins then it is in contradiction to 1 John 3:9. But clearly, this is the quotation of 1 John 1:8... 1Jo 1:8, If we say that we have no...

@Behold, Notice the date, a little less than two years ago...a year before you became a member here in April of 2020. Commentary on Romans. (post #34)

So, I am done with this conversation for now. I need to take a break and read the word for a while; and get my mind off of all of the incessant attacks that have been leveled against me recently on these boards. I know that I am blessed; but I really didn't want to be a Jeremiah who was...

Jesus has saved me and keeps me saved; in that He has shed abroad His love in my heart through the Holy Ghost (Romans 5:5). However, you are what is spoken of in Jude 1:16 and context; for I am certain that you have men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

But, evidently you do know what they teach...you have studied their material and therefore I am not surprised that you have been deceived by it. An evangelist, does, in fact, teach the law, as a schoolmaster to lead men to Christ. Gal 3:24, Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us...

Why do you think it is that by the law is the knowledge of sin? It is so that you can gauge whether or not you are walking in the love of the Lord and so you will be able to determine by your life whether you are saved or unsaved (2 Corinthians 13:5).

Bull-pucky.

His goodness is to walk in the love of the Lord that He has shed abroad in your heart if you are truly born again. To continue to receive that love through faith in Him; and to walk in that love.
