Thorn in the flesh is a Hebrew idiom equaling our "pain in the neck." "Messengers of Satan." False teachers. Judaizers. Judges 2:3 Therefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out before you; but they shall be thorns in your side, and their gods shall be a snare to you.’ ” Numbers 33:55 But...

Don't let EG scare you away. There are plenty of people on here, and some of us are actually Christians!

You said: "Are you saying we have sin excised from our flesh," Yes, by Jesus. He cleansed us from ALL unrighteousness. That wouldn't be true if he didn't take away the source of sin, the DESIRE to sin in our our nature. A clean nature lets us partake of the divine nature of God. or are you...

I have a question for you. Christ died the most horrible death to free us from sin, so why are their denominations who teach the opposite, that sin is still in our nature where Satan left it. Why do denominations teach that Satan wasn't defeated, that Jesus didn't free us from the works of...

That's a given. Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our faith.

Both. The born again of God have a new nature as Adam was created with, but also the gospel which is the power of God living inside of us. The Apostle John is calling sin breaking the "law." 1 John 3:4-5 4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 5 And you know...

I also believe that because of Adam's sin, he inadvertently gave dominion of the world over to Satan. Jesus destroyed the works of the devil taking the sin inherited from Adam's sin out of what was our "sin" nature (the old man). We are now clean and free from sin as Romans 6:5-7 says, and it is...

Well said. I would add that the New Covenant is God's laws written on our conscience (heart). And the gospel is the Spirit of Christ abiding in us and we IN Him. That takes care of lawlessness - sins unto death. Jesus taking away all desire to commit adultery, or murder etc. it is written makes...

What was the other gospel being taught to the Galatians and by whom?

So what are the details of what was being taught?

Hi Randy, Paul wasn't being rhetorical. The other gospel was Paul's gospel of the Spirit, but the Judaizers added works, circumcision and the Jewish holy days and clean meats to it. So that is why he worded it as he did.

As you know by reading the whole book of Galatians that Paul reminded them that they had begun in the Spirit, and were now wanting to follow the law? And to the Romans Paul said in Romans 1:16-17 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for...

The title of this OP is about us. Who do you think it is about? Jesus sent Him to US! He in us is how we are born again of the SPIRIT. He didn't come to sit in a tree like a Koala Bear.

Okay Mr. Arrogant. Die in your sins. That is up to you. Good Bye.

You're going off topic. Would you like to copy and paste this into a new post?

The baptism in the name of Jesus Christ of Acts 2:38 is water baptism. Read the rest of the verse. Then you receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

We think of fire as a cleansing fire, so this could be when we are born again of the Spirit and freed from sin.

In John 20 Jesus blew the Holy Spirit into the mouths of His disciples, but Jesus then told them to wait in Jerusalem for the baptism of the Holy Spirit for power and boldness. The 120 disciples received the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, but received their second filling in Acts 4:29-31...

You don't know my testimony which is the opposite of your accusations. I'd like to ask you a question. If you are so in tune with Jesus and resting in Him, why hasn't He matured any of the fruit of the Spirit in you. You've been nothing but provoking this whole time with one false accusation...
