That is a Pharisaical question. Luke 14:5 5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day? A cow will suffer if not milked and fed. Do good. cc: @BarnyFife

Moonstone, we always have to test the spirits. God will never tell you something against His own word. He doesn't mind drinking a little wine, in fact, Paul told Timothy to drink a little wine for his stomach. God just doesn't want us to get drunk with wine. Here is what God would actually say...

The verses before 9 tell you. It is like this. Before the law of don't think about a pink elephant, you never thought of a pink elephant. But now that there is a law against thinking about a pink elephant you can't help but think of pink elephants. That is what Paul is saying, except about the...

And that means they do not sin.

You are either in the flesh, or in the Spirit, but not both. Those who are born again are in the Spirit, and cannot sin.

Barn, tell him if he wants to stay with the eastern teaching style of present tense, but read it with a western mindset, that's up to him. But then Paul would have been over 1300 years old to have been alive before and after the law was given on Mt. Sinai.o_O 9 I was alive once without the...

There is true faith by abiding in Jesus and HE IN YOU which puts off the old man and makes you born again. And there is fake faith of seeing Jesus as an escape from hell, but no change in yourself. They are still slaves to sin. The latter is what is taught in many denominations started in the...

1 John 5:18

Would you rather be a true Christian or a fake one? Matthew 7:21-23

Go back to #3 and look what I colored in red. We are responsible, but the Spirit makes it possible. Also look at 1 John 3:3

Luther didn't understand that there are works like circumcision and keeping the Sabbath day that we do for ourselves to be accepted into Israel and part of the Old Covenant. But there are righteous works that Jesus does through us that we do for one another. Those are pleasing in His sight. 1...

Because of Adam's sin. Everyone born since Adam has sinned, except Jesus, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Those who don't believe this truth and say they don't have sin, do not have this truth in them, so they don't think they need a Savior. But those who confess their...

Stop believing the doctrines of demons of false teachers. Believe JESUS instead. Jesus said, "The truth shall set us free." So what is The Truth? John 8:32-36 Jesus frees us from sin. The truth is the reason why God became man, and shed His blood. The destroy the works of Satan. 1 John 3:8...

That's over for us though, so don't fret. 1 John 3:8 8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 5:18 18 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but...

You're a great and wonderful man. Thanks for letting me know what the misunderstanding between us was about. Today I have been making a list of all the people who have hurt me since I was a child. The name of the document is Forgive. Last night I read a little Christian pamphlet by a pastor...

How can you say that when I explicitly said, I HAVE NOT SEEN YOU DO THIS. So, it was about other denominations, and has never been about SDAs. That is why I usually am a mother hen when others attack SDA. Others twist God's word to turn grace into lasciviousness. Jude 1:4 As far as the gifts...

I didn't read your post. I shared to the title of this OP

It doesn't appear you know what a "work" is that we are indeed judged by, and the works of the flesh. Matthew 7:15-20 15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from...

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;

The Ten Commandments are the first/Old Covenant, but our old nature of sinfulness was in opposition to it, thus the struggle of Romans 7:14-23. We are under the New Covenant of the Spirit that has God's eternal laws of (Love God with all your strength, mind and heart, and LOVE your neighbor as...
