No, I can't relate to what Paul went through. It seems you don't know the meaning of what he said. Read it in context like I have. He's talking about being persecuted and his physical life was in jeopardy, but he kept on preaching in spite of the risk. That is him dying daily. Paul was already...

Legalism is when you have laws that are AGAINST your NATURE. Since Adam sinned and turned dominion over to Satan mankind inherited SIN in our nature making us sinners. It got so bad that God gave the Ten Commandments to guard them, but they had to keep them against their nature. That is why the...

It is not legalistic if we are only following our conscience doing what is now naturally from a cleansed conscience. You aren't making sense. What specifically have I written that brings you to your wrong conclusion. Let's work it out.

Why do you prefer a church that doesn't believe the WORDS of Jesus, but instead, the human reasoning of man and even doctrines of demons? They have a defeatist message that you will always be a sinner. And that you will always have a sin nature. Both are FALSE according to Scripture! God will...

When Jesus takes away our sin unto death, at that point you are sinless. Period. That person goes straight to heaven. You have it completely wrong in thinking that WE HAVE TO OVERCOME ANYTHING. Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our Faith, whether we are just a "baby" Christian who has all...

I think we are finally on the same page! Love you brother! I couldn't have said it better myself!!!

I agree. Mankind is born a sinner and must be born again of the Spirit. But I disagree that through the power of Jesus as not only the Author of our faith, but also the Finisher we can never be perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect just as Jesus said. I believe Him. When Jesus takes away...

Enoch, don't you believe that after a sinner repents, their life doesn't change? They continue to sin and must repent in a vicious cycle of sin, repent, sin, repent ad infinitum? But when Jesus makes us righteous, that cycle ends. I think that is what @Behold believes too, don't you? What would...

I was talking about the two types of sin in God's eyes.

Hi Nancy, I put Johann on ignore, so haven't been watching what is going on with Behold. It is your call. But did see your post to them

So was Paul, but that didn't stop him from giving warnings to those weaker. Look at the Corinthians. They had all of the gifts of the Spirit, yet Paul calls them carnal. And babies. It is good that you are strong. But I'm a teacher, and must give warnings.

Same for me. But I teach pastors, and you would be amazed how less advanced in the Spirit they are than the two of us! LOL They have to be at times not walking in the Spirit.

My "keeping myself as the word says, no matter if you believe the word or not, is "WALKING in the Spirit." That is up to us. John 15:5-6 (The branches are the born again. They were once part of the vine.) 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much...

I understand. Most people do not know there are two types of sin. 1 John 5:18 calls them sins unto death and sins not unto death. Numbers 15:22-29 is a sacrifice for untintentional sins - sins NOT unto death. Numbers 15:30-36 was a guy breaking one of the Ten Commandments. It was a sin unto...

I know I can never lose my salvation because I keep myself, and the most precious relationship I have is with God. But Paul gave warnings to the born again to not willfully sin, which is quenching the Spirit. He even said we can "go BACK to perdition" - that is an unholy state bound for hell.

Yes, but it was your error that wasn't God's will that you were chastised on. That is free will. But I doubt it was a sin unto death. You have been completely circumcised from sins unto death, so it was probably a minor offense that is a sin NOT unto death. We are sinless as long as we obey our...

I believe only a born again Christian is sanctified at justification. It is one act and it is when we've repented and receive the Holy Spirit and are born again. The born again cannot sin. They don't have the desire to. However, they still have free choice, just like Adam did. You don't believe...

Please don't believe what Behold says about what I believe. He hasn't understood it yet, and says I believe the opposite of what I do. We are close to agreeing, but what we don't agree on are hundred miles apart. LOL

Are you are referring to me, just because I teach sinlessness? I do NOT teach sinless perfection. And the rest of your statement, if about me, is totally false. I sure wish you would try to understand the scriptures I give you. Sinlessness and Perfection are two different stages. Both reachable...

Yes, grace given to us is the power of God to be righteouss. We don't need the Law when we don't sin. There no longer is a reason for the law to reveal sin when there isn't any sin to reveal. Jesus made me like Him. Romans 8:29-30 I am a child of God, not a sinner.
