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

    I am a very agreeable person. I can discern where a person is speaking from. I did that. I checked out over many years and in many ways....everything I presently support. When it doesn't line up with the present religious system...I double check....and triple check...until I get a solid...

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

    In reality, most people never change. There is always the potential to do so. But as you should realize...any change in nature is a long-shot. Most people will defend what they already have (vigourously) against whatever they could get in exchange...right?

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

    Honesty doesn't mean you have to agree with anybody. It means you face your own situation before God through prayer and waiting on the Lord for Him to confirm something is true or not. Most here have no real connection to God...so they rely on carnal defense mechanisms that reside in the part...

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

    There you are! That's your outer man looking for advantage. But I spoke from inner man to inner man. You can have the courage to stand up to your outer man. I know from experience (I know others just like you) how hard that would be for you to do it. I have not yet seen someone in your...

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

    Yes...to the church of Sardis...which represents the Protestant church. A name that lives but that is dead. I see a lot of dead religion here. Individuals are in different places...but overall...the outer man rules over weak and ineffective inner men. The truth sounds harsh..until you...

    See there is a part of you that understands. But you don't live there.

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

    It's about chaos and clarity. A moment of clarity...which is not recognized as such...is soon swallowed back up into the chaos. Like darkness and light. One has to be able to discern the difference...or else be drawn back into the darkness.

    I don't think Jane would appreciate you running behind her skirt to point your little finger at me. You need to have your milk and take a nap now.

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

    What I see in this individual is an inner man basically on life-support. His outer man is like a drunken hillbilly of sorts that lashes out at any and all perceived threats to that inner "lamb". There is no focus at all in his outer man...it just thrashes about willy-nilly like a drunken...

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

    You are a very complicated person Mark...you come at people with both an inner man AND an outer man. It's hard to know who you are talking to...until you realize you are talking to both. I don't mean to disparage your inner man...I don't. But I can't help seeing your outer man and his works...

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

    I hear you sister. We are to look at the heart...as God does. Only religious bigots write people off for a lack of accuracy in one's beliefs. We will not be judged by our beliefs but against them. If we believe we are just as righteous as God...as some do here... then we will have to measure up...

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

    I wasn't talking to you. But maybe you feel I was? Maybe what I said to one crow fits with another? I have to get my hands dirty when dealing with the filthy. It's not for everyone, that's for sure. Because you are all operating in your outer man...this mud slinging comes natural to you. But I...

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

    If you were honest you would admit it...but since your entire premise is based on a lie...you can use Jesus the way you want, say great lies concerning Him...then wipe your mouth and say...I have done nothing wrong.

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

    Another ugly and shameful post from you. So you say @Behold is your Lord???? It is the false modern religionists who use Jesus in this way. You are looking for a permanent sacrifice for your sins rather than go to God and enter INTO Christ. So then you want only to saved from the penalty for...

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

    Here we see an obsession with an "all inclusive" social gospel. I'll humour the ego behind this...for now. When I hear a statement like that I hear the modern Protestant churches that affirm gay marriage. (It's funny we don't see that in the Catholic church, just Protestant) When I hear "all...

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

    Any hypocrite can sin and then point to Christ. Even the mafia does that. I point to Christ...the real Christ. But I don't use His name in vain as the virtue-signallers do here. I'm more careful. With the serious I am serious. With the silly..I play silly. But nobody seems to have any sense...

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

    A shepherd must also guard the flock against the ravenous wolves that come among the flock to feed their egos...destroying the faith of the weak. Mark, you are always looking for flesh comfort. But no wolf is allowed among the sheep. Once the wolves are gone...the shepherd can be as gentle as...

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

    They say that once you smell a dead body...you never forget it. Well, I smell a lot of dead religion here. People championing a religious belief over walking in resurrection life. Utterly ridiculous. It's the world upside down...making darkness light and lies to be truth.

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

    More self-righteous virtue-signalling. Always drawing attention to yourself . I call you Ego de Crispo.
