    Human Freewill the devil's greatest trick

    Okie Doke. I'm glad that my God didn't give me that choice because anyone with the Sin Nature cannot please God. It is impossible. Romans 8:8 CSB - "Those who are in the flesh cannot please God." The God I worship, the God of the Bible, lifts this Curse so that such a choice can . . . and will...

    Now it's not me, but sin that lives in me

    The Heart of the matter is in Colossians 2:9-15. There really isn't anything that I can add to it . . . it's crystal clear. Until we acknowledge these Seven perfect verses, the Bible will always be elusive. The below verses talk about this "flesh" and what must be done with it. Flesh being the...

    Human Freewill the devil's greatest trick

    Wow. You couldn't have mistranslated me further . . . AND I'M RIGHT HERE to confirm or deny, should you have asked. Okay, I've seen enough of this. You kids enjoy yourselves! :)

    Now it's not me, but sin that lives in me

    Yep, I hear all that you're saying. And I get it (I believe). Question: When we say, "I was living in the Flesh back in the day." Are we saying that we were living in our body back in the day, or that we were living in sin? And if we're living in sin, which of course that's what this phrase is...

    Now it's not me, but sin that lives in me

    Woops! I just conflated two different threads! (and this is turning into a funny nightmare!) :)

    Anyone able to watch Superbowl 55 on their smartphone? If so, how, what URL? App?

    I found it online and watched the commercials while I worked during the Game. lol

    Human Freewill the devil's greatest trick

    And that's just it. Most "christians" have never met God, nor have they a Transformation story, nor can they testify of what it is like to live under the Curse of the Sin Nature and compare it to a life without that Curse. Who can testify to the difference of life of being Cursed and no longer...

    Human Freewill the devil's greatest trick

    Sorry that you guys are upset. I'm just relaying what's in the Bible. I don't need anyone to believe me, nor am I attempting to convince anyone of anything. One thing I've learned is this: "christians" normally aren't interested in learning anything, for they all believe that they have...

    Human Freewill the devil's greatest trick

    Part of the Plan of God is that a believer, at least generally, must hear the Word of God. This is why we preach and teach. We preach and teach because we are commanded to do so, and we do so not knowing who is of the Elect and who is not. When we are given a choice to choose the Lord, we are...

    Human Freewill the devil's greatest trick

    Okie doke. Me, however, I'm not going to ignore the obvious Scripture, through the entire Bible, that proves God's Omnicient Plan. Just because you are unaware of His Mysterious Plan, doesn't mean that I'm wrong. But . . . have a great day!

    Now it's not me, but sin that lives in me

    We go to heaven if the Curse of Adam and Eve has been removed, if the debt for sin has been paid, and if a person has received the Indwelling Holy Spirit. This is the sprinkled blood that expiates sin in the Old Testament.

    Now it's not me, but sin that lives in me

    These are deep questions, and I honestly don't have the desire to go round and round. However, I will say, that there is no way that the Indwelling Holy Spirit is willing to reside within a body that is corrupt, as you say. If we are purified by Christ, having put off the Body of the Sins of the...

    Now it's not me, but sin that lives in me

    That's the exact word that I am talking about. You're saying that the Bible that taught me this is incorrect?

    Hating the things you once loved (as a non-Christian)

    Yep. I've got over a couple of thousand movies (used to have an actual theater in my home) and many of them were chosen specifically for their sexual content. I still have them, simply because I haven't taken the time to sort through them, keeping the ones that mean something to me. But now...

    Now it's not me, but sin that lives in me

    If it has been cut out and removed, just as the Old Testament claimed that it would be (for True Jews and True Christians), why would a person live within corrupt flesh? Marks . . . Flesh, in this context, represents the "Sinful State of Man." We have to know the difference between when...

    Now it's not me, but sin that lives in me

    And this is the Faith of Abraham . . . exactly. And it is THIS Faith that we are to possess. Romans 4:12 NLT - 12 And Abraham is also the spiritual father of those who have been circumcised, but only if they have the same kind of faith Abraham had before he was circumcised. Galatians 3:9, 14...

    Human Freewill the devil's greatest trick

    Actually, He found them and told them to follow him, and some dropped their nets without question. Yes, they did follow Him much like a puppet. John 15:16 NKJV - "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that...
