    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    But to do that you need actual spiritual gifts. A false encouragement can only puff up the flesh. A dime a dozen...next.

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    See, a false prophet comes to edify the flesh...and all the unbelief in prophecy goes out the window. How typical of the carnal mind. :rolleyes:

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    We are not justified based on the death of Jesus..but on his resurrection...as we are raised into the justification of an eternal kind of life.. No Adamic flesh can be justified. No one under the law can be justified in His sight. Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    This might be too subtle for many here. Agreed with the difference between being "under the law"... and being "of the law". Being under the law is a spiritual condition of limitation to a walk in human strength...IOW..being in the flesh...walking according to the flesh. The irony is that so...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    The Jewish God is not YOUR God perhaps. But just remember Luther didn't create the heavens and the earth. What you are espousing sounds like the gnostic idea of the God of the OT being a "demiurge" ...or worse... I knew you guys were way off here...but whoa nelly...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    There are 3 possible stances for "believers" to take in regard to the death and resurrection of Jesus. The first: That Jesus atoned for the sins of all those who believe in Him...so that only those who believe in Him are forgiven...the penalty of their sins being PAID FOR in full by Jesus...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    The scheme made up by Luther indeed makes sense to the carnal mind. God has allowed for this alternate logic (the Great delusion) to exist to expose those who hate the truth. Congrats on that.

    More covering up your insufficient and pagan-like understanding of spiritual things.

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    And yet that's exactly what you are trying to do by claiming that Jesus covers your sins...and then justifying yourself for your beliefs. Your position is self-defeating and a bad reading of the biblical narrative.

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Notice that it doesn't say "he has forgiven forever"...as you are trying to understand the purpose of Jesus' sacrifice. Jesus made a way for people to DIE in the outer man of the flesh in order to be raised up in the inner man into HIS resurrection life. He went first to create the process.

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Animal sacrifices do not "pay" for sins. Sins bring death, and the animal sacrifice is meant to represent the cost ...OUR cost...in sacrificing the animal part of ourselves ...the outer man...to die in order to have an intimate walk with God in Christ. So you have things exactly backwards. God...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Sometimes you just have to ask yourself "What would Oprah do? (WWOD)

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    From a spiritual perspective, the formal setting of an institutional church is contrived/artificial. If you take away the restraints that the religious system imposes on people, you find that many in the church feel they no longer need to "act" Christian (proving that they are carnal by...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    You speak from a pure heart and from an inner man of faith. What a contrast to the filthiness of the crows that circle over your head looking to bring you down to their level. Peace and blessings to you. See this thread is redeemed by the inner man standing against the bullying of the outer...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    LOL Tell me more about what religious people do. Not that I'm that interested. Maybe get some approval from the other crows. :rolleyes:

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    That is a joke right? Eternally hateful...You have the carnal side wrapped up with the other crows here. And your childish rant about me not getting enough abuse??? You are all like little kids who want the same candy as another child. And you want the same attention...and the same punishment...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    More passive aggressive behaviour. I hope you can come out from your religious delusions.

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    It is the power of God to be set free from the corrupt flesh ...to be liberated in the inner man to be translated into Zion to walk in resurrection life. To walk as Jesus walked without sin. In Him is no sin. But I'm casting pearls here before swine. Away with you Oink-tions.

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Your gospel was invented by Luther. If you knew the bible and church history you would realize that what I teach is both Apostolic and of Christ. The sheer ignorance of your religious stance shows here. You think a recent perversion of the bible by a protesting mob is worth more than all the...
