Ronco, can I get a pocket fisherman :-)

Welcome matie, "we know no man after the flesh."

Yes a lifestyle comes with our witness. For the born again, seeing Christ as life is an absulute of Christianity, 1 John 5:12 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

#1 Vanity of mind Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, all is vanity (Solomon). I'm sure that was true for Solomon's day. He had it all, the wisdom, concubines, wives, the money, and he considered it all vanity. What would make Solomon's day so much different than our day we live in. Why can...

Paul uses Romans 7 to show humanity the sin nature and the cure. He uses the law of marriage to show we could not free ourselves from our nature, it took another, even Christ to do that. If we watch his language in the beginning of Romans 7 we can see he is showing the sin nature because he says...

What would you say Richard to Paul saying he was "alive without the law" at one time, as far as we know Paul was never without the law

Separate soul and spirit. John says "if we say we say we have no sin" (soul), and then the wonderful verse you quote (spirit). We are who we are by a birthing, not by what we do. Doing doesnt define an individual, doing is always an act of love only. Great verses in 1 John to tell the believer...

The mind got born again too, flesh replaced! Flesh is basically mind given to body. The mind deal has me reeling somewhat. Quite the little doctrine you have going on.

Hi Dave, I enjoy your writing but this is really a stout and bold statement. I understand your train of thought and have heard it many times, it seems to be the answer given to Christians sinning, js.

Who do you identify with When you were born into a family, that family gave you an identity. You had traditons maybe and probably followed cultural traits. Alot of what we learned was good, I remember the good times of Christmas and big family meals at the Holidays. Those are wonderful...

Paul introduces us to what happens when we are born again: The goal of true Christianity is to release the Christ in you so the body and soul, which we call the human self, can be overwhelmed and expressed by spirit. Christians need a revelation of the Christ in them to be who God created you...

When Paul had his revelation of the indwelling Christ, he went into the Arabian desert. Paul was "more zealous than you all" in his religion. I believe after Paul's revelation, he spent some time in the desert getting the message of God so fixed in him that when he came out of the desert he...

It is imperative that the believer has a revelation of the indwelling Christ. There was a point in time when God revealed Christ in Paul, Gal. 1:15-16 15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, 16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach...

2 Corinthians 4:10 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. Have you ever felt like you were dieing, physically or maybe spiritually or even mentally. That's good, Christ in you is saying "good you are...

Another point to be made about the Father's schoolhouse is; Paul said in 1 Corinthians 4:15 15 For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. Can you see what has happened in the father's...

No, I'm saying God choose Paul to bring grace in as a message. Before Paul no one knew God was going to birth His Own children by Christ in them, Romans 16:25 25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of...

God called Paul and used him as he did Abraham, Moses, or any other to bring a message. Paul is the Apostle to the Gentiles and most do not see the plainly written black and white English it is written in. We have no in Christ message untill Paul's gospel. Paul and Peter had to conclude, Peter...

Very good scriptures, thank you.

If you haven't noticed yet God is always working through the world. The world was created by God as a training ground for his children. Circumstances and situations always driving us to Christ. As a sinner; for most the C and S brought that person to Christ for salvation, as a believer the C and...

I think the misunderstanding is; knowing Christ in you as your only life the believer is greater works. It is no longer just an I, but Christ that lives in believers and as he recognized the need of the world when he was in it, still the need is there. Doer religion confuses Christ as our life...
