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

    Jesus said...seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. How do you know you have found the kingdom?

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

    I said NOT condemned with the world. Go back and read how you get things EXACTLY backwards. 1 Corinthians 11:32. “But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.” To know the Father and Jesus Christ whom He has sent. The gospel is not...

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

    A saved person is no longer condemned with the world...but now is slated to have a private judgment before Christ personally. All who believe in Jesus will inherit eternal life. But to what end? The religious hypocrites among God's people are not thrown into the lake of fire. No, they are...

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

    Paul was not a philosopher. You have to realize that Paul did not give up his religion for a mere philosophy. You are missing the scale to a great extent. The parables are allegorical....but what Paul is speaking about is a heavenly power that translates mere humans into the very presence and...

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

    Yes....we are enslaved, entombed within the outer man until we are crucified to be liberated into resurrection life in the inner man. Now many here will make that a common thing...claiming to "have it all" already and reducing the high calling to a human effort of slow "improvement" over many...

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

    If you do well, shall you not be accepted? and if you do not well, sin lies at the door. And unto you shall be his desire (the outer man), and you shall rule over him.

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

    soph·ist·ry the use of fallacious arguments, especially with the intention of deceiving. "trying to argue that I had benefited in any way from the disaster was pure sophistry" a fallacious argument. plural noun: sophistries

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

    Mark 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. 2 Corinthians 4:16 - For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. Eph. 1:18 “The eyes of your...

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

    You are not Jesus. Great grace does not cause stomach ailments. You are conflating things to avoid obvious truth about how the bible is written. He did better than that. He stood in the faith OF Christ never wavering. Ding miraculous things and speaking with God's own mouth. For all your...

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

    That's not true faith. That's you wanting to save your life. Maybe hope??? But definitely not faith. That is still in the realm of belief...UNLESS...God fills you with His Spirit. This is self-affirming. It's better to say...I must have had faith because I was taken up into the higher walk...

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

    Were the Israelites in the wilderness non-believers? They witnessed miracles everyday. And yet God charged them with unbelief. They never believed God in the moment. When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Therefore I was angry with that generation, And said...

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

    You are blind to the distinction between being a non-believer and being in unbelief. The latter you exemplify.

    What is Revival?

    Those servants have...but God is still here and the Spirit still speaks through His servants the prophets. Don't be like the seccesionist dividers who think the Holy Spirit is trapped in a book. The Holy Spirit speaks through flesh and blood people. Read the bible.

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

    Undermining the beliefs that undermine a true and living faith.

    What is Revival?

    In your humanly manufactured church they don't exist because you are collectively spiritually dead. But in a place where God is honoured and the bible is taken as fact...there are indeed apostles and prophets who have known the Lord in the same way as we read in the bible. A living connection...

    What is Revival?

    Complete unbelief. The church is built (not, WAS built) on the foundation of the apostles and prophets...and continues to be built that way. You are relegating a living church to the past so you can live in a dead church today. That's because you don't believe what God is doing. You don't...

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

    That's beliefs and hope. Faith does things NOW. When you read the dead were raised...do you think that means at that time...or sometime in the future at the general resurrection? As in...he just LOOKS dead...he's actually positionally alive???? Your scale is a religious scale. Not based in the...

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

    The same way that Paul is misunderstood about grace....is the way John is misunderstood about eternal life. Look at John 6 where Jesus says...whoever believes INTO Me HAS eternal life. The faith OF Christ takes us, translates us into the eternal realm of the kingdom. Or else, it isn't...

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

    I think he means your religious father. The father of the religious system that diverts God's mercy from the merciful and steals righteousness away from the righteous.

    The Great White Throne Judgment (GWT)

    God thinks everywhere. None so righteous...that never sin. But you have not read the bible yet, obviously. Do a study on the righteous. Use a concordance. Be creative. What kind of wood was it made of? You only went to a temporal wooden cross in a Sunday school meeting. Now you need to go...
