In Romans 7:5 "the flesh is the carnal nature that we are NOT in, Romans 8:9. Paul is not referring to our body that still must die and be resurrected at the Second Coming of Christ. It is our spirit and mind (our nature) that is the old man, "the flesh" that is crucified and is resurrected with...

Right verse; you also see its wrong. They Capitalized Spirit, instead of spirit. It is a publisher's error, resulting in subsidizing false doctrines. The Spirit does NOT wrestle against the flesh, because we are "not in the flesh but in the Spirit if the Spirit of God indwells us. And if...

Slaves of sin will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

Do you really feel any desire to hate someone so much that you want to murder them? Do you covet something so much that you are driven to steal it? Do your eyes wander onto someone else's wife that you'd like to rape her? Really?

You know sin doesn't count when there is no law, and the law came 3,500 years ago. Yes, he did. He made the distinction when he ended the chapter with "the wages of sin is death." That is not true for sins not unto death, but only for sins unto death. Why does John say not to pray for them...

I know that, and God doesn't mean that. For 3,500 years there have always been 2 types of sin. Sins unto death as Paul said, the wages of sin is death, which John said, don't bother even praying for someone who commits one; and sins not unto death, 1 John 5:16:17 " If anyone sees his brother...

Do you think the Holy Spirit enters our hearts where there is a sin nature? NO! He cleanses us first at the source, the sin nature. That is why John 15:3 says we are clean. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of...

The "covenant" is not all 613 laws. It is the Ten Commandments engraved on stone and is the "ministry of death." The New Covenant is the Holy Spirit and His power, called the "ministry of the Spirit," where the laws of God are written on our clean nature, made up of our new spirit and heart...

I take it you are Protesant, and are under the illusion that "sin is sin," the cause of the false doctrines you've memorized. What is taken away in one swell swoop are sins unto death - willful sins - lawless sins, moral sins like murder, stealing, lying, adultery and coveting. Do you really...

You are confusing the New Covenant with the Old. And what truly being born again is like, with before being born again. You're breaking my heart!!! Did Jesus die so you could freely sin your head off without condemnation? I guess you've bought into the false doctrines from the beginning of the...

Hi CC, I'll repeat myself that reading Romans 7 in CONTEXT (not yelling, just emphasizing LOL) starting at verse one shows it was to those who "know the Law" of Moses (Jews). You have posted this verse out of context again. Again, verses 14-25 are not about Christians because Christians are not...

plus @Jack Basically, here are two "works" from scripture that all can do even if disabled. 1 John 5:18 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him. 1 John 3:3 And everyone who has this hope in Him...

When you say "we" are naturally children of the devil, you mean up until we are born again, right? :confused I agree and disagree based on the gospel. It is the POWER OF GOD. And we see it is about His all powerful creative ability that does not leave sin in our new nature because we are made...

Our sin nature we inherited from Adam with Satan's nature only has willful lawless sins unto death and is also the reason why John 15:3 says it is CLEAN. When born again of the Spirit we are cleansed of ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, not just partially, or not at all as some teach who believe we now have...

So you still think I should have told him something like it's none of your business, and let him think the worst, like hiding Jews?

What would you say during the second world war and you lived in Germany and were hiding Jews. If an SS officer came to your door and asked you if you were hiding Jews, would you lie and say NO! Would you say, yes, come right in and take them. Or how about the advice I've been given and say to...

I remember when I was married to my abusive husband (only time in my life I've been punched in the face!) and I would be in town and see a handsome, and seemingly kind man, I would shake my head real fast, rattling by brains to kill approaching thoughts in their tracks. And willfully think about...

However, the writer of this OP does not know that SIN comes in two levels. You use the term "God commands." That is the worst level of sin Scripture called "sins unto death," "presumptuous sins," "willful sins," "intentional sins," "lawlessness," and ("mortal sins" by the Roman Catholic Church)...

I wrote a post on LYING where I was wrongly accusing myself of lying and forced to sin. Come to find out I didn't sin at all, anymore than people not admitting they were hiding Jews from the Nazis in WWII, so I found peace. Is that what you are pointing your finger at? I hope not as that would...

9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. What you've probably never been taught and still don't know is that what is cleansed in us is our nature that many in the Church call our sin nature. Paul calls it the...
