Oh, okay. Yes he was. But he was writing about when we were in the flesh (verse 5) (in the past) and only had the Law to go by. We are no longer under the law, because we have the Spirit and NOT in the flesh, Romans 8:2 and 9. In Romans 7:14-25 Paul is emphasizing that the Law is holy, but for...

It says that the law is holy. It is all there in the context. Just empty your mind of all previous doctrines of man. Read it a few times. Romans 7:5 to Romans 8:9. Don't forget that Romans 8 frees us from Romans 7:14-25. Verse 25 is still a Jew who knows the law in his mind, but couldn't...

No, it is really up to us to "Repent...and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Acts 2:38-39. We are not robots. God wants us to love Him with all our heart, that we cannot do until after we receive His Spirit."

It appears you were going through levels of obedience, but your boredom was a God ordained wilderness experience in which you didn't pass the test and instead grieved the Spirit. But seeing as you seem to be still trying, make sure that you are filled with the Holy Spirit and not just...

Yes, that is what "keep themselves" means in 1 John 5:18 18 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.

What? Do you really entertain the thought that when Paul wrote Romans he was not a Christian? You are a chaplain. You have more responsibility than most to read in context. Jesus frees us from sin. Do you believe that or not? The person in Romans 7:14-25 is NOT free from sin until he receives...

That is why I am on these forums for years. I AM AFRAID FOR THE CHURCH. IT APPEARS WE ARE IN THE "FALLING AWAY."

I understand. That is why I questioned God first, and told Him if this was from Him to give it to me. If not, protect me from it, and let me know what was happening in that church. It was from God. For the last 46 years, since becoming filled with the Spirit of God, I've been able to hear...

We all have to work out our own salvation. That means studying the Bible and testing ourselves if we are really born again of the Spirit - a MUST! The key to salvation after coming to know about Jesus is based on our initial repentance. It cannot just be to go to heaven, but to recognize we are...

You missed the previous verse. Obeying the commandments of Jesus - to believe on Him and love one another, keeps us safe from the devil. He cannot touch us. 18 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him...

So you believe the Word of God, but are selective and you don't believe what it says is for you? I guess I have the faith of a child and believe everything in our New Covenant is for us and will not cease before the end of the Covenant.

Sorry, but you are misinterpreting Romans 7:17 and 20 and taking them completely out of context. Everything from 14-25 is Paul speaking of those who are only under the law, before Christ. They still have sin in them, don't they? Jesus was manifest to take away our sin, and in Him is no sin. 1...

This is the only spiritual thing I can see, though I've seen visions, and have had vivid dreams that I knew were from God. Plus, I can hear God's voice since 1977. I have a Spirit-filled friend who can see a darkness hovering around people who have an attachment. And at times she has also seen...

All I did was pray that God give me this gift if it was from Him. And I received it that day.

Or less, but often. It should be part of our born again nature to be a giving person. And not just with money; we should not act as though we are "entitled" as those who end up with road rage.

10% tithing is the letter of the law that kills. We are to obey the Spirit and give according to His will. And that may be more than just 10%.

Seeing as the Antichrist is called "the beast" it may be that Satan, himself, enters him and animates his dead body as a mocking to the three days and three nights of Christ.

Very good! I agree totally. Again, AMEN! There are different levels of obedience. A baby Christian is given level one commandments to keep. As he lives up to that level he is sinless in the eyes of God. Phil. 3:16. But not as sinless as he will be when the Author and Finisher of our faith...

It the Tree of Life in hell??? Why make a tree of life if we are already immortal? Your belief could be because of sadism in your heart. What if your name isn't in the Book of Life? Would you still hope the same? Matthew 7:21-23
