Then why misrepresent sin by saying, "We still sin, but are forgiven for all!" All means ALL! You didn't say just "unintentional." Don't you know how reckless a statement that is to baby Christians? You need to be more careful. If you cause one of His babies to fall, Jesus says a millstone...

Are you saying if I murder and do not repent I am automatically forgiven just because I believe in Jesus? That sounds like "SIN because grace abounds all the more." Paul says to that, "God forbid!" Why commit murder when you don't have to. We are dead to sin. He also said, 16 Do you not know...

Let me show you what I have just discovered about the gospel and see if you want to say that "God does nothing to change our mind" and that we still have a "carnal" mind. "Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our FAITH." First off, it is God who draws us to Christ. Second, when we repent we...

What I have found because of knowing about the two different types of sins, is what Jesus first takes away in 1 John 3:5 is the previous verse, "sin is lawlessness" (4). Those are the moral laws of God found in the Ten Commandments. I was an adulteress, and the next day after being filled with...

I hadn't thought of that. You are right! That makes it doubly heinous for him to willfully sin when he had the power not to.

We have the Spirit of Christ in us. Adam didn't. Romans 8:9

Right. Why would you? When Adam was first created he had a pure human nature. That nature was corrupted when he sinned, and became like Satan. Man inherited that nature and could never be righteous on his own. That is the reason Jesus came; to take away that corrupted nature and make us a new...

Even though our nature is free from sin, we still have free will. When Adam was first created, he was free from sin until he sinned. This is why Paul commanded "do not quench the Spirit." But what we have that Adam didn't have was the power of the Holy Spirit. What we can agree on I hope is...

Talk to you later...

Jesus takes away our sin, so that it is no longer "dwelling in me." That was talking about the Jews who have the Law in their mind, but sin in their flesh, because it only departs through Christ.

To not be confused that our body is not the flesh Paul is speaking about, he includes the next verse to clear up any confusion, yet it doesn't seem to stop confusing people. LOL 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not...

When Paul uses the word, "flesh" he is not talking about our body. He is talking about our nature. Our nature, the spirit and soul, is what is reborn now to be like the divine nature of God, 2 Peter 1:4. That was the old man that died. Our body must yet die physically, in order to be reborn...

Romans 8:2 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. Verse 25 is the culmination of 7:14-23 (it still has the "flesh") Romans 8:9 we are NOT IN THE FLESH

What are you talking about? I don't have any desire to sin. I actually felt my old man of sin leave my body back in 1977. I felt light as a feather. That is what the Spirit does when you are filled with the Holy Spirit. We are no longer IN THE FLESH.

I'm not sure which verses you are referring to. Look at Romans 7:5. 5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death. That is referring to the 'past.' Romans 8 is now. But Paul was referring back to the past...

Right. An unsaved sinner has no new "inner man" like a Christian does.

The words written are still valid for someone under the law. Who is under the Law? Why was it given to us? It was given to us when we were still sinners. And it is still for unsaved sinners. And the Law is still holy. Personally, I am free from the law, and I don't relate to Romans 7:14-25...

It is confusing because Paul is writing in first person, just as John wrote in first person in 1 John 1. But that is a writing style. You must read in CONTEXT. Romans 8:2 shows that Paul is FREED from Romans 7:14-25. How do you explain that? Netchaplian, you too - how do you explain that the...

We are going around in circles. The old man is dead! We are new creations! Galatians 6:15 Romans 6-7 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin...

I will disagree that we cannot be improved, because though Jesus makes us sinless at each new level of obedience, there are future levels to come towards perfection in the end when the Spirit is Finished during our lifetime. Do you recognize these levels of obedience, and sinlessness? It was...
