Hi @marks, The Old Man is the old nature. The New Man is the new nature. We have both indwelling as those who have been born from above. We are told to put off the old man and put on the new man because we are a new creation in Christ Jesus, and walk in newness of life before the Father now...

Hello @marksman, I don't believe that we can judge another, simply because he remains silent. A persons presence in itself is enough to encourage and strengthen surely, for he has taken the trouble to be with you. He may be praying for you quietly, secretly, before the Father, even though the...

@Enoch111 @101G Hello there, Thank you for responding to my OP. With respect to you both, I believe that the burden of proof lies with you. For I have provided chapter and verse to show what the, 'The Promise of the Father,' was, and to which People it was made. The pouring out of the...

'When His disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.' (Mat 19:25) Hello @Devin Wintch, God is indeed impeccable. :) thank you. Thank you. In...

'Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.' (John 3:5) Hello @07-07-07, Thank you for your OP. I agree that it is 'spiritual water' that is meant, for there is a figure of speech here, where two...

'If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, .. if any comfort of love, .... if any fellowship of the Spirit, ......if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, .. having the same love, .... being of one accord, ...... of one mind. Let nothing be done through...

Hello @DNB, Thank you for coming back so soon. :) Oh my! Yes, what can I say? For what you say in your first paragraph is true. Believers have failed to 'put off' concerning their former way of life the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and failed to be renewed in...
