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

    He flip-flops...sometimes the inner man and sometimes the outer man. The wrestling is internal. I have hope for him though. I would like to have more hope for others.

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

    You read it right here folks... Whosoever shall read this bible shall have everlasting life? Really? Am I just an unbeliever in this scheme? That's right folks, God no longer speaks to us. Now that there's a bible...who needs to hear from God?

    Which type are you then?

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

    They that wait upon the Lord...shall renew their strength! Wait...that's not right...that's for the Jews. No need to wait upon the Lord...that's unbelief...just read the bible and all who believe it's about them...name it and claim it. :rolleyes:

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

    Exactly...or 1st century Gentile. Many here use that excuse (I'm not a first century Jew) for not heeding the bible...but then claim that same bible as being written to them...when it suits them. A psychologist would have a field day here.

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

    Did He speak them to you? Do all who read the words take it to themselves? If you picked up a love letter addressed to someone else...will you assume you are the one who is loved?

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

    Not exactly. I'm looking for something genuine...not a technique. You have to take away your motive which has guile built into it. A simple word...a simple statement...a humble stance...An encouragement to what is godly and pure and worthy of esteem. Things like that. I start threads with the...

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

    It doesn't say...."Then the disciples claimed to be clean by the words of Jesus" or... "then Abraham claimed to be as righteous as God because of his beliefs" All of these kinds of misreadings are religious in nature and VERY deceptive. How can we ever have a real church if we are...

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

    When people read themselves into texts it becomes impossible to distinguish what is true from what is assumed and presumed. That's why I ask question beyond what is written. I find that you always go to the text...so I question everything you say. Also, the fruit you exhibit is one of...

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

    I find very few believing in the very existence of The New Covenant...let alone having actually entered into it.

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

    You speak lies. I get attacked all day...and only respond to stop the lies from hurting the inner man of people coming to these threads. You are just grandstanding with a virtue signalling that puts you out of this discussion....only promoting yourself with NO skin in the game whatsoever. make...

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

    Many here deny we have access now...going contrary to any sound doctrine. Saying rather, that I am speaking lies and false teachings for pointing this out...pushing the kingdom realm into an after-life. Many have bolstered an unbelief in a kind of spoiled carnal mob mentality..to the amusement...

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

    I challenge all the false teachings...and the false judgments. That's the difference. Your problem goes much deeper even than that.

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

    Championing Romans 6...reading yourself into the text...making it cover-up the kind of seeking and acceptance by God...empowering by God...that requires an ACTUAL FAITH.

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

    Such hypocrisy...you accuse me falsely all the time. You get off on it!

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

    Does that present a problem for you? Many here...or most actually, see heaven as an afterlife for those with correct beliefs....like a Valhalla. Although for Valhalla you need to be holding a sword ...and not a bible or John 3:16 t-shirt. Heaven is for right now! There is no heaven...

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

    His divine power is also the called "the fulness of God". But you HATE the idea you have to go to God for it...to the throne of grace. You HATE that. That's why they like you...because you share that hatred with many here. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may...

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

    LOL. That's what I say. We have ACCESS by faith. You say it in a way where even the hypocrites agree with you...because they are misunderstanding the verse. Either you are super clever...or else you are fooling people with your flip-flopping from crow to eagle...then back to crow. Which is it?

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

    Now you are claiming this too! I am accused of claiming the higher walk...but you slide by actually believing you are there...and somehow are unable to bear witness of it. Are you afraid of being disliked?

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

    That grace and peace must be multiplied to us BEFORE we can have access to the fulness of God.
