    Stick to fishing those minnows.

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

    I am speaking the truth about the spiritual eternal reality as plainly as I can. But spiritual things sound like foolishness to the carnal mind. 1 Cor 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with...

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

    It actually sounds biblical to me. :confused: And I knew you would be unable to understand the bible reference...or basically almost any other. More unbiblical nonsense. Heaven is now.... eternity (eternal life) is now. You are mixing up heaven with an afterlife religion like with Valhalla or...

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

    Yes...back to reckoning ourselves to be able to walk as Jesus walked. :Ohpleze: 6 He that says he abides in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

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

    Only those who are crucified. Your religious bent is looking for a self-justifying testimony that you are not claiming truthfully. Truthfully you have no idea what the verse entails beyond a name it, claim it, religious outer man appraisal. I se that the outer man has succeeded in stomping out...

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

    Have you read the NT yet? Paul speaks of the high calling and winning Christ. 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. You will not respond to this...but what is the verse speaking of? ( I ask rhetorically because I would be shocked at ANY honesty...

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

    For the thousandnth time...God IN you is not the same as you IN Him. Did you read my Chicago analogy and understand it? Does Chicago dwell in you? Do you realize that you can visit a person's house without them even knowing where you live.??? Now draw that same parallel to Christ. MANY people...

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

    Tonight during you bible reading... read the Psalms...or better yet...do a study on Zion where God dwells. You will be up all night...there's a LOT to cover.

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

    That's what I said...walk IN Him. You are not doing that as much as you might claim to be. How do you walk IN Him? That's just a religious formula to you. If I say...walk in Chicago... (I use an American city because I don't think that many know of any other cities) can I walk in...

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

    Look up what "virtue-signalling' is'? You are all about self...and ego...and that's why you are popular with the other religious egos here. As in...come on guys...let's self-justify to knock this brother down... Its a carnal technique to justify oneself by looking down on others for not saying...

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

    This both a misinformed and reactionary claim. I don't see what you're saying here...Christianity is not a religion...although the ones who have taught you, and made careers from your acceptance of them....have made it appear to be so. The dogmatic view that the flesh is justified by beliefs...

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

    I have said that the foundation is Christ. But you are stubbornly maintaining that the foundation is Christ IN YOU. To build ON Christ you need to go to where He is...in Zion....being seated with Him in heavenly places. For real...through being translated into the kingdom of God's dear Son. You...

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

    Imagine that all believers voluntarily gave up all their highfalutin claims to be more than than they are, to adopt the idea that something greater is available and even desirable. What would that do? Horror of horrors...would that not produce?... 1. Humility 2. Fear of the Lord 3...

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

    You remember how God's covenant with Abraham entailed a cutting in two (dividing them in the midst v-10) to allow God to walk between the pieces of Abraham's sacrifice? (Gen. 15:7-21) Also recall that the word of God cuts between the soul and spirit..and the joint and marrow? (Heb. 4:12) The...

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

    If one understands that whether if one is on the ground floor or upstairs on the second floor. ...we are all in the same house....the house of God. The doctrine of Christ...that I teach ...takes both levels into account. Whether we are present or absent from the Lord (on the second level) we are...

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

    God has worked it out so that humility is the key...He has concluded ALL under sin...to draw us into a deeper walk with Him. In the end it's about the fellowship. The sin happens when we are out of fellowship with Him. At that level...whatever is not of faith is sin. Can we resist temptation...

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

    And that in itself is commendable. But is it at the level of what Paul is saying...what he is describing? We can't let what is good get in the way of the perfect. If you knew there was a whole other level...the level of the saint...to walk in..wouldn't you want to at least look into it? I mean...

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

    Look at how it is expressed in Psalms...an amazing prophetic statement that we need to understand in these perilous times. Ps. 84:7 "They go from strength to strength, Every one of them in Zion appears before God." Actually the Hebrew says more like... 'Who look to God in Zion". In the LXX it...
