Thanks. I saw you responded so am answering. Then will go back and hopefully finish the one to you from before. I do know I worry about "the Church." Especially pastors and what they teach! That is why I zero in on them. Not on the forums, as I don't know who is and whose not. In person. I join...

Behold, what you responded to was my quote of yours. That is why you responded, "Correct." You were agreeing with yourself. LOL The law is in effect for a sinner of lawlessness - sins unto death. Paul says of those sins, "the wages of sin is death." Behold, you do agree don't you that according...

Wow, I had no idea JWs believed some of this stuff, especially dying for your own sins! I've talked to one about doctrines of Christianity and couldn't tell they weren't Christian. I'll have to rethink not worrying about them.

@Behold @PS95 @amigo de christo Behold, The difference between us, you and me as teachers, may be in our own history. This may sound odd, but I was lucky enough to become entrapped in a major lawless sin that opened my eyes. What Satan made for evil actually opened my eyes to my need for the...

cc: Also to @PS95 @amigo de christo "So run along and get that solved, and then come back"? What is it you are teaching here? "Your carnal deeds are not sin." "God does not charge (sin) against you since the day you were born again." Behold, don't you know that the greatest subject you...

We pretty much believe the same thing, but we word it differently. Aren't you afraid you might be teaching someone to not abide in Christ, nor keep His commandments, even though for you and I we naturally abide and keep his commandments out of the divine nature. There is no "have to" in it. My...

1 John 1 is a contrast between light vs. darkness from verse 5 to 10. A contrast between walking the walk vs. just talking the talk. See vs. 6. Just because John uses "we" is this really a born again Christian? 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do...

Yes, I know what you mean. I've been on Christian forums for over 15 years. The most argued verses are Romans 7:14-25 and 1 John 1:8. How do you interpret them. That will tell you and I the most about each other.

15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. I do not understand why you are using this verse regarding when we were under the Law, and not in the Spirit. I had hoped we were getting on the same page. But when born...

Finally, someone who understands.

One thing I've never heard on the radio from preachers about being born again is that the desire to commit lawless sin is gone. It is more than just Scripture telling us we are free from sin, and that we are to reckon ourselves free from sin. Paul said that because "whatsoever a man thinks in...

Are you aware that when Jesus takes away our sin (1 John 3:5), He also removes the desire to commit them. It is the power of God, not by ourselves with our own willpower. No, God changes our very nature Paul called the old man Romans 6:5-7. That, my friend, is real freedom from sin.

The Law is still in effect for SINNERS. But for the born again, they become born again by having the sin removed from their nature so God can write His laws on their heart as part of the New Covenant. Then we must walk in the Spirit.

We are freed from the NEED for the law, because the law is now our nature to obey naturally. That is why we are a "new creature." All creatures do what comes naturally. You see, the Jews had the law, but they had to keep it with a sin nature that was fighting against written laws in their mind...

1 Thess. 5:23 23 "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." Just as we are made in the image of God, we also are a triune being. Not three persons, but three unique parts...

Read 1 John 3. It is the chapter on the type of sin that can qualify us for death. Vs. 4 sin in lawlessness. This is the type of sin that is taken out of our nature to qualify us for eternal life, the opposite of death and makes us righteous, vs 7. Vs. 9 says we cannot commit this type of sin...

That is the reason for Paul writing 5-6 first so someone would not jump to your conclusion. How soon some forget the context. If we are born again, what is it that is reborn? Where is the desire to sin removed from? Is there any desire to sin left?

Context is what I was trying to explain to you. You still do not understand that verse 25 is still someone in the flesh, meaning they still have their sin nature. The born again do not have a sin nature any longer. That is the reason for being born again in the first place. Do you really believe...

No, verse 25 is the last verse of Paul talking about the law vs. the sin nature 14-23,25. Verse 24 is slipped in as a preview of chapter 8 where we are no longer in the sin nature, the same as what Romans 7:5-6 was saying after chapter 6 that shows the death of sin in our nature, making us free...

I have never heard any such doctrine in my life. Is that from a denomination? Which one, or did you make that up yourself? Romans 7:25 is the last line in Paul's teaching on the Law of Moses in the mind against the sinful nature of the flesh. As I told you, Romans 7:5-6 already shows you 14-25...
