1 John 3:23...(for the sake of those who would look up the scripture by scrolling the mouse on it).

I'm interested in avoiding ideas that are not good. And you?

Thank you, that helps. Indwelling sin cannot sin if it is rendered dead.

I believe that the phrase was first coined by Charles Stanley when he was teaching on the principle of 1 John 1:8.

I believe that diminishing the concept of eternal torments in the lake of fire, will also diminish the effects of such a doctrine as a deterrent concerning sinful behaviour. It is not a good idea. If you are wrong, and there is eternal punishment, then you are subjecting yourself to it by...

Hi @marks, I believe that the epitome of what I am trying to say may be found in the following scripture: Pro 4:18, But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The born again believer will become more and more righteous as time passes...

@Enoch111, Do you ignore what it says in Mark 13:32 about the fact that Jesus wasn't Omniscient?

I don't deny indwelling sin. If I am completely cleansed of indwelling sin, I would not know myself (Job 9:21) and therefore would not accurately be able to tell whether or not I have indwelling sin. If I were to deny indwelling sin, then the obvious sin of self-deception would be present in...

Mar 13:32, But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

And, what of those who have been made one with Him?

Can the truth be in you if you deny indwelling sin? 1Jo 1:8, If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Amen. I do not believe that I need to claim it as my own. However, I believe that it is important to keep a balance in sharing the scriptures with other people; who may or may not have the victory over the flesh. The truth of these scriptures comes in gradually and if a denial of indwelling...

This is the deliverance that I have since praying about it with my wife a few days ago.

I think that I actually have to agree with this, based on what I taught before. Commentary on Romans. (posted April 18, 2019) At that time I was also attempting to teach what @Behold teaches (before he came on the scene); but when he came on the scene and started teaching it himself, I saw in...

The very deception that is spoken of in 1 John 1:8... @Behold wants to convince you, and perhaps has convinced you, that it does not apply to the believer. And, in reading over what I have taught in times past, I see that I have also taught this in a slightly different manner. Commentary on...

We will be obedient as sons.

Of course, sons are also obedient to their Father...though not out of obligation, as a slave.

How so? Right...it teaches that they are not born again. Because the born again do not deceive ourselves and the truth is indeed in us...therefore we do not deny indwelling sin (1 John 1:8). But apparently you have deceived a few people here in spite of my efforts to protect them from what...

I think that the gospel as it was revealed to Paul was not hidden from the other apostles. I believe that Jesus spoke to them about it. But, of course, there were things that they could not bear when Jesus walked the earth and that He would reveal to them after the Holy Spirit came, via the...

However, he spoke the words in aramaic; which indicates that He was not merely quoting from the Bible; if He had been quoting the Bible he would have quoted it in Hebrew or from the Greek Septuagint. That He spoke the words in aramaic indicates to me that His words were heartfelt and that He...
