You can see how God views sin from the Old Testament, our schoolmaster. Sins not unto death: Numbers 15:22-29 Sins unto death (there are no sacrifices for these mortal sins) Numbers 15:30-36; 1 John 3:4 Laws Concerning Unintentional Sin 22 ‘If you sin unintentionally, and do not observe all...

Everything you are saying is true for an unsaved person. Please add scriptures for your proof. I need to see why you think this way. We aren't talking about Perfection. We are talking about the first step when Christ takes us from death to life. He takes the desire to commit lawlessness against...

Like the word flesh has two meanings - carnal nature or body; the soul has two meanings - heart or person. That's why we need to read in context, context, contest!

The "old man" dies. You're not dead yet are you? Again, of the three (spirit, soul, body) what dies and is born again is the spirit and soul, our nature. Our nature is called clean John 15:1-4. I call that sinless, just to see your reaction. LOL. John calls it righteous Revelation 22:11 and 1...

Maybe the water splits like at the Red Sea! LOL

I agree with you. Romans 11 is talking about national Israel and out of her there is Spiritual Israel which Christian Gentiles are grafted into it. But Paul says that national Israel will only be partially blind UNTIL the last Gentile that wants to be saved believes. Then all Israel will be...

I attend a very small country church that was originally Methodist. We left the denomination because of their ordaining homosexual bishops. The denomination went through a major split over that. All 7 churches are 3-fold prophecies. They are to the local churches as you said, but also to the...

I see these as prophecies of 7 different eras from the beginning on the Day of Pentecost to the end. Let me show you. First Romans 11:25-27 shows that there will be a set number of Gentiles that will believe in Christ. This is also shown in 2 Thess. 2:8-12 where God casts a strong delusion on...

It is interesting that you see yourself as a Laodecian, and I relate to the Philadelphian church era. Yes, as Gentiles we are blessed to take the place of one of the national Jews, but that will only be until the last number of Gentiles is complete, THEN no more Gentiles will be saved and then...

Where did I include the body with our spirit and soul as part of the "old man"? When Paul was speaking of "the flesh" he wasn't talking about our bodies. After all he said in Romans 8:9 that we are NOT in the flesh but in the Spirit. That would be hard to wrap our mind around not being in our...

Try not to be so realistic! LOL Stay in the Spirit and you will stay in the supernatural. This is where I love to be. Read 1 Cor. 2:9-16. Our bodies didn't die on the cross, our invisible innards did. Then the resurrected mind and conscience have center stage. The thing is, it is not fanciful...

Hi again I am enjoying our posts to one another. I know a little about JW beliefs and do not mind you believing we need to be JW to be part of the elect. Did I get that right? Is it another word? I use a word that I believe to be part of a particular group, and that is a Philadelphian from...

Wow! He should be reported. I put a guy on another site on ignore. Put P on ignore too; I just did. No one needs to hear that. "Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report...

I'm glad you admit that Christ has given us a new nature. Yay!!! The old sin nature is the "old man." It is still hanging on the cross! Stop trying to revive it. LOL Romans 6:5- 5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of...

Didn't you read Paul's last letter? Perfection does take a long time if you live long enough, but it is achievable. Maybe you missed this because he didn't use the word perfect or perfection, but I grasped it right away. 2 Timothy 1 and 4 1: I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as...

Sinlessness and Perfection are two different things and about two different types of sin and at different times in a Christian life. So sinless perfection is not an issue for most of our life until we finally become spiritually mature in all the fruit of the Spirit and are perfect/holy and are...

Correct. That is a person under the Law, the Ten Commandments, as shown in Romans 7:14-25. Correct. It is not both under the law or in the Spirit unless we quench the Spirit completely to apostasy. Can you name one for me?

It is Paul that separates us into 3 parts, not 2. I just believe him, it did not originate with me. I repeat - 1 Thess. 5:23 spirit, soul and body. Our nature consists of our spirit and soul. Our body is not sinful. It only does what our nature tells it to do. Simple. That is why we can be...

Again, what do you believe is born again in us that does not sin? Or do you believe we still sin because of our bodies and will sin until they die?

Are you saying that nothing in us get's born again supernaturally? It is all up to us and our choices against our carnal nature that Jesus leaves in us? Personally, knowing that Jesus is the Creator, I believe He supernaturally takes carnality out of our nature (spirit and soul; or mind and...
