You are speaking in human terms, not spiritual terms. You must be filled with the Spirit in order to understand the things of the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:9-16 9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for...

Jesus takes away all of our sin, including the sin nature; otherwise we couldn't partake of the divine nature. Your question is then why do Christians sin? They don't know their own responsibility, and for some reason have taken into themselves a very apathetic view of sin from very bad teachers...

I use "flesh" as Paul and Peter uses it - our nature. Sin is not in our body. Our body is just a puppet controlled by our nature - our mind and emotions: our spirit and soul. Those have been made immortal. Our body must still die and also be resurrected to be immortal. Romans 8:10. But we are...

Jesus was without sin. "Condemned" is the same as "crucified," and Romans 6:6-7 shows that it is the sin in our flesh that was condemned and taken away, and we were crucified with Christ and we are reborn of the Spirit by His resurrection so that we can walk in the Spirit. We don't need the...

Good night, all

Are you ignoring me? LOL

I'm late to the party. What was your question Aussie. I've already posted #305 and #324. They may have answered it already.

I see the only thing left to restore is our body - Romans 8:10. But it doesn't make us sin; only our nature makes the body sin like its puppeteer. In the New Covenant the laws of God are written on our heart. The heart is our soul and conscience. Just by obeying our conscience we are accepted by...

I would call the "divine exchange" is taking us from our sin nature, the old man of sin to the divine nature of God. We were sinners, and Jesus exchanges our sin to freedom from sin, without which we cannot be righteous. Our recreated nature free from sin is now a divine nature of God worthy to...

Matthew, we actually have a spirit, soul and body. Don't use your own reasoning; use Scripture. You'll make less mistakes in the long-run. Scripture is our foundation. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be...

How long is it? I may take a listen if its short.

I don't know what has been going on in this thread, but I have a question for the OP poster to see after all these pages what he believes now. Matthew, do you believe a born again Christian retains their sin nature?

I love you more!! I'm not obstinate. You're the one thinking it okay to not study to show yourself approved. Now THAT'S obstinance. 1 John 1:8 and 9 are to be read together. The unsaved who believe just keeping the law makes them righteous must still repent. Acts 2:38. And you want to use verse...

I see you still like to take scripture out of context. Romans 7:20-25 is referring to those under the law of Moses, like Paul used to be as a Pharisee. In fact, from 14 - 25 is talking about the Jews before Jesus. Read verses 5-13 to see the beginning and see the difference between the LAW and...

You go against your conscience, but don't feel guilt? How? What makes you use 1 John 1:9 if you don't feel any guilt? Why did you go against your conscience in the first place? Don't you know that going against your conscience is willful sin? That's not walking in the Spirit. There are...

Rich, do you sometimes go against your conscience and against what it is telling you to do and live with feeling guilty; or do you do what your conscience tells you and feel no guilt?

My body must die because of Adam's sin, but it by itself does not produce sin - never has. Our nature is what produces sin and mine has been born again. Just like the Father and Holy Spirit, my mind and conscience are invisible, but very much real, regenerated and are immortal. They are my...

Because it was quoted by a very early church father, I'll accept it as fact. You can have the deleted version if you wish, but there was an agenda...

1 John 5:7 There are three that bear witness in heaven: The Father, The Word and the Holy Spirit. And these three are one," meaning one God. Just like I am one human being with three distinct parts. A body, a mind and a conscience/heart/emotions. Those three make me. If any one of those was...
