If we stumble, it is because we are not abiding in Him. As long as we abide we sin not, I think that 1 John 3:6 is clear on that.

Did you not understand my point? We all have indwelling sin. But it can be rendered dead within us, so that it has no authority or say over our behaviour or what we do. So then, I can have indwelling sin and yet be free from the committing of sins in my practical life. Try to think about...

There are lords many, and gods many (1 Corinthians 8:5). But there is only one Lord (1 Corinthians 8:6, Ephesians 4:5); only one God (1 Corinthians 8:6, Ephesians 4:6). See also Mark 12:29 (kjv). Mar 12:29, And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord...

How condescending... I make it a point to understand what I am reading. No one is denying indwelling sin...I declare to you that it is rendered dead within me (Galatians 5:24, Romans 6:6, Romans 7:8). I don't; for as long as I will abide. 1Jo 3:6, Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not...

In the kjv: Heb 10:14, For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. No additions or subtractions made. As for whether sanctification is yet future, there is the context: Heb 10:10, By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus...

I believe it is important that we derive our doctrine from the holy scriptures. Understanding the history of how a belief system has developed can be helpful; but not as helpful as going directly to the scriptures.

I say to you verily that the "IF's" are fulfilled in my own life...I have been walking in consistent freedom and victory for some time now. Not an extended period of time, mind you; but long enough to know that it is a work of the Holy Ghost.

Within every cherry there is a seed that is capable of producing an entire tree.

@BARNEY BRIGHT, It will not do for you to pick apart the scriptures that I have laid forth in posts #1-#5 one-by-one. For they are intended to be taken together, as a singular message. Much of your learning from these messages will come from the biblical hermeneutic found in 1 Corinthians...

No, I believe in one everlasting Father. He is the same Spirit that inhabiteth eternity, who dwells in the human flesh of Jesus Christ. Now when I say that the Father is not the Son, I am defining the Son as the human Jesus; as the Father come in human flesh. His goings forth are indeed from...

You have failed to give a reference for this. I'm sorry but I hold to a kjv-superior viewpoint; and therefore I hold that the kjv's rendering of this verse is more accurate. Not to mention, if your version is inaccurate, you will have hell to pay over having believed it. For Jesus said that...

Nevertheless it says that if ye do these things, ye shall never fall... that shall, is an absolute statement. Never also. And consider also what 1 John 2:10 says, that if you love your brothers and sisters in Christ, there is none occasion of stumbling in you...

You need to read the scriptures a little more instead of Watchtower publications.

WRONG.

There is one Lord (Ephesians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6). Therefore if Jesus is the Lord, He is the one Lord. The scripture declares that the Father is the Lord (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21). And Jesus is the Lord (1 Corinthians 8:6, 1 Corinthians 12:3, Philippians 2:10-11).

How about 2 Peter 1:10...if ye do these things, ye shall never fall...

1 John 1:8 in no way declares that we are bound to commit sin in the present or the future. It is speaking about the fact of indwelling sin...which can be rendered dead (Galatians 5:24, Romans 6:6, Romans 7:8) so that it has not say or authority over our behaviour or what we do. 1 John 3:5-9...

You should really consider the following scriptures: 1Th 5:23, And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1Th 5:24, Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. Heb...

In Romans 7:14-25 , Paul is using the literary tactic of IDENTIFICATION in order to define carnality. See 1 Corinthians 9:22. He is setting himself forth as weak in order that he might gain the weak. In scripture, not everyone is defined as carnal believers. There are also the spiritual...

@BARNEY BRIGHT, You must consider that there is one Lord (Ephesians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6); and that this Lord is the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21); While no one can say that Jesus is the Lord except by the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 12:3 (kjv)).
