    Am I the only one on the planet who understands Romans 7?

    You guys and your "sin nature". That term or phrase is not found in scripture. It is jargon constructed to make it seem like the theology that you are promoting is correct, when in fact it is not.

    Why did Jesus have to suffer and die?

    Yes, Jesus is God. But His death is not what saves. The death, the sacrifice, is not the agency that saves. It is God that saves. The sacrifice is a propitiation to God who then is propitiated, placated, appeased, satisfied. On being propitiated, God forgives sin and accepts the sacrifice as...

    Am I the only one on the planet who understands Romans 7?

    If that is true, then nearly the whole of the NT is superfluous, since so much of it is the appeal to the saints to not sin and to obey the gospel. We have not become a brand new species, Our spirit is not totally new. Rather, our spirit is born again; it is regenerated; it is renewed to the...

    Interpretation based upon Systematic Theology

    Yes, it is a work. It is something we do. But it is not a work of law. There are many things that are works but not works of the law. Believing is but one of those works. Romans 10:10 says "with the mouth one confesses and is saved". So clearly confessing is something one does; it is a work...

    Am I the only one on the planet who understands Romans 7?

    If that is your take on Romans 7, then you have missed the whole point of Paul's teaching. The entire passage of Romans 6:1-8:39 Is a declaration that the all-sufficiency of grace gives victory over sin, something the law could not do. Even so, the victory through grace does not mean that the...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Or more likely, a hardness of heart.

    Am I the only one on the planet who understands Romans 7?

    That is not so much about Israel and the law. It is more about himself and the law. It is very much his own personal experience and what the law means to the individual. Verses 8&9 specifically deal with his introduction to the law and his own sin once he became aware of the law and its...

    Born Again or Christian? Is there a difference and what is your biblical support ?

    Yes, you are probably right. And so I will. I am done with this one.

    Born Again or Christian? Is there a difference and what is your biblical support ?

    There is indeed a very childish game going on. You are the one playing it, pretending to have received a supernatural spiritual gift of divinely inspired revelation from God.

    Born Again or Christian? Is there a difference and what is your biblical support ?

    And you gave you testimony as a ?? year old. None of that was biblical, none of it. You think your testimony is biblical but Eternally Grateful's is not? Just more egotism and narcissism. And by the way, who is getting personal now with that rant against him?

    Born Again or Christian? Is there a difference and what is your biblical support ?

    Something that you have shown over and over that you know nothing about. Not with you. Good bye.

    Born Again or Christian? Is there a difference and what is your biblical support ?

    Something that you have shown again and again that you know nothing about. Not with you. There is absolutely no reason to. You are not interested in learning about it. You are only interested in spreading your terribly, terribly false opinions about it.

    Born Again or Christian? Is there a difference and what is your biblical support ?

    We must believe IN God. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

    Born Again or Christian? Is there a difference and what is your biblical support ?

    Anyone can post scripture; understanding that scripture is the key and you don't. You understand almost nothing about any of the scripture after scripture that you post. Again and again you have shown by your opinions about the things contained in those posts that you understand none of it...

    Born Again or Christian? Is there a difference and what is your biblical support ?

    So you believe that God gave you a spirit having no "spiritual" life. That is one really sick view of God.

    Born Again or Christian? Is there a difference and what is your biblical support ?

    A good display of the lack of any real biblical understanding.

    Born Again or Christian? Is there a difference and what is your biblical support ?

    A child needs only to believe in God and know the consequences of his sins. There is no measure of understanding spiritual matters set forth beyond that for one to be a candidate for being born again to receive salvation. What you believe about such things is completely irrelevant...

    Born Again or Christian? Is there a difference and what is your biblical support ?

    So you think that my reply #400 where I told you that I was saved is funny. I think that is about as personal as it can get. That probably describes you to a tee. And I certainly do not need any help from the likes of you.
