    Saved by Faith vs Repentance and Obeying the Commandments

    Yes, farouk, we cannot save ourselves like the Old Testament saints did through loving God and obedience to Him as Noah did, and then after the Ten Commandments were given. That was all they had, and their obedience was imputed to them as righteousness until Jesus came and cleansed all those...

    Saved by Faith vs Repentance and Obeying the Commandments

    It is not repentance for one sin, but repentance for our recognition that we are slaves to sin and can never be like Christ on our own. We MUST be born again of the Holy Spirit. That true desire to become like Christ, and not merely using Christ as a ticket to heaven, is true repentance. The...

    Saved by Faith vs Repentance and Obeying the Commandments

    God wants us to be perfect as Jesus commanded us to be, but it takes many steps and levels of obedience. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing the spoken word to you by God. Hearing is merely the first step towards faith. Hearing about Jesus is what brings us to repentance, and repentance allows...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    The Young's Literal Translation of 1 John 3:9 is "every one who hath been begotten of God, sin he doth not, because his seed in him doth remain, and he is not able to sin, because of God he hath been begotten." That is once, not merely "practice." So "commit" is more accurate to represent once...

    Oh Boy! Seeing So Much!

    Pearl, God sees all, so if in God's eyes you are without blemish it is because Jesus accomplished in you what He came to do. It is real righteousness. Don't believe the lies of the devil of "imputed" righteousness. That was in 4 and 5 of the 8 chapter teaching on the difference between the Old...

    Oh Boy! Seeing So Much!

    Exactly, looks like you are recognizing the doctrines of demons and are no longer going to be tricked by those defeatists. Another one is we will always sin while in this body. The real us that is born again is on the inside of this body and it is called our nature. When Adam was first created...

    Your favorite Psalm?

    These are three Rhemas God gave me for specific times in my life and they turned out to be prophecies. Psalms 37 He used 4 times during a 30 year period, always bringing it to my mind the day of or one day before the miracle happened. Psalms 51 I had memorized and I quoted it as my prayer for...

    Does God have favorite children?

    I was filled with the Spirit 30 years after first going to church. That was 45 years ago that I've been walking with the Spirit. 22 years ago in 2000 while driving in the desert of Arizona on my way to a church conference God spoke to me and said "I am giving you the office of Teacher." That...

    Does God have favorite children?

    It is said of King David of Israel that he was the apple of God's eye. And the parable of the 3 servants the master gave money to invest for him. The first servant with five coins doubled it to 10. The one with 2 coins doubled it to 4. But the last one who the master only gave 1 coin, buried it...

    Who Created or Made a Sin Nature?

    I don't know why you think what I believe is not scripture, because it is. One error I see is your use of the word "flesh." In Romans 7 and 8, Paul uses the word flesh to mean the nature, and distinguishes the difference between the flesh and the body in Romans 8:8-10. 8 So then, those who are...

    Who Created or Made a Sin Nature?

    Man was created perfect, with a clean human nature with free will. The nature is the spirit and soul, or IOW the mind and the heart/conscience. The body is just a sinless shell like a puppet. Sin originates in the nature. When Adam sinned his nature became polluted and all ancestors inherited...

    How do you do bible study?

    Never read scriptures out of context. Always read one book all the way through and see the apostles intent in writing the book in the first place. Also keep your eyes open for key words. For instance, 1 John 1 has caused many debates, when 1 John 4:1-3 (about Gnostics) is the reason for writing...

    Who Created or Made a Sin Nature?

    @robert derrick It seems you believe that man is a soul, which includes the spirit and body. But we are a triune being made in the image of God. That is why we are called a spirit, soul, and body. That is a mind, heart/conscience and body. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself...

    Who Created or Made a Sin Nature?

    and cc: @robert derrick Read Ezekiel 28 about the King of Tyre. Archangels are called princes, i.e., Prince of Persia and Prince of Greece. These archangels are over nations. And fallen archangels are over pagan nations trying to keep them in the dark. The archangel Michael is the prince over...

    Vote Tomorrow

    At 2:30 pm there was a line outside. I left and went back at 5:00 pm and there were 1000 people there. I asked God for help. I left and thought about the gym where they had done some pre-voting but closed it last Thursday. They were open but there was still a line wrapping around. This is a...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    I've been filled with His Spirit since 1977 (45 years), so can hear his voice, and have so many testimonies I'm writing a book, actually two.

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    I have noticed that there are those who demand "practicing" is correct because they believe the apostles teach that it is okay to sin once in a while, then repent, and then sin again, and repent, just so they don't make a habit of it called "practicing." You see I love animals, and I could no...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    I agree. This is a post I just wrote on another Christian forum site. Do you agree with it? Just so you know, 1 John 1:9 is equal to Acts 2:38. They are both to make us Christians filled with the Holy Spirit. Rachel we cannot commit major sins of lawlessness. Those are not in our nature anymore...
