You didn't mention a verse. That is only true of those who have not been born again of the Holy Spirit. The old man was in Adam, but the old man has died and we are resurrected with a new nature NOW. The only thing left to die is what 1 Corinthians 15:53 means - our outer shell - our body. But...

I agree. I said the same thing recently in a post. #1334.

There have been so many posts that brought me to the conclusion that you were Seventh-day Adventist. If you are not, what do you believe that is in common with them that you post about?

Do you belong to a denomination? One started by Armstrong perhaps?

I was raised SDA

Don't you belong to SDA?

I escaped 2 Peter 1:4 Come one Bob, don't you wish you could say the same? And @Enoch111 too? Be honest. Do you want to go to heaven? 1 John 3:1-3

Then I suspect you are tossed around with every wind of doctrine, James 1:6, because you are certainly clueless to 1 John 3:5-9 Bob, I don't want that for you. We are in the last days! Just look around.

The sinful nature is called "the flesh." Scripture is full of why Jesus came - to free us from sin - what separated us from God in the first place. What most denominations do not get is that starting with the first separation from 1st century teaching, the RCC, and continuing through the...

I'm only 5 years behind you, but I've learned more in the past 10 years than I knew anytime before that. But it was because I was tired of all the man-made reasoning, like what you know. I prayed to God to erase all the wrong doctrine and reteach me. And He started immediately!

The context is sinlessness in God. Read chapter 3. So in verse 8 saying you don't have sin being a lie certainly can't be a Christian, but they are human, so must be BEFORE coming to Christ. Unless you don't believe verse 9. Oh yeah, you believe that is for one sin, and not you sinful nature, so...

The existence of God is evident in nature; they have no excuse except anger toward's someone. Usually it is seeing all the horrors in the world, and deep down they believe if God did exist, why didn't he stop the mayhem. That is why they are angry at God. They should be angry at Satan.

Come on Bob. Don't be an old dog that can't learn anything new. LOL

I didn't remember the the Seventh-day Adventist's doctrines still held on to some of Calvin's teachings. Yikes! qtpie, what you described is the "old man" "the flesh". Read Romans 6 through 8. Our old man is crucified, Romans 6:6-7, and we are no in the flesh but in the Spirit Romans 8:9. I did...

Jesus freed women when he said "neither male nor female" - all are alike in Jesus. Though he still lived in the culture of the Jews, He himself rose above it. Paul was still quoting the culture he lived in. They were his own opinions from the culture he lived in.

I'm sorry I called him a SDA. He must be of Armstrong's Church of God - a cult.

The spiritual aspect of the Sabbath has nothing to do with going to Church services. It was actually a physical rest - which is the letter of the law. The spiritual aspect of God's rest Heb. 4, was Today, meaning everyday, every moment, every second. The letter of the law was outward rest...

I'll show you another one which will open up your mind to the real meaning of God's grace. Acts 4:33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. This verse confirms it if you already know that grace is God's power...

I just told you. It is a contrast between light vs. darkness. That is why verse 8 and 10 are separtated by verse 9 instead of written as one verse. This is an example of the Semitic writing style of contrasts. Chapter 3 is the same writing style. It was written to people with an eastern mindset...

It is what the whole epistle is about. Historically, Gnostics were infiltrating the Church and converting members.
