I did for the first 30 years of my life, but then I experienced what Paul did when he was born again and filled with the Spirit, and WAS FREED FROM SIN AND DEATH, and the desire to sin was gone. Like myself, many go to church and read the Bible, but don't understand it because they have yet to...

I edited and highlighted some areas. But I don't think you read it at all. It is not that hard to understand.

So do I, but understand what he meant. Part is about the Old Covenant Ten Commandments like what you chose, and part is about why the New Covenant is better. It frees us from sin. Romans 7 4 Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be...

I understand. Paul spoke different rules for women than for men. For a man if a pagan wife left, he was no longer bound to her, but a wife is bound until her husband dies. And I also knew that fornication was with temple prostitutes, and idolatry. Are you surprised? My husband fell in love with...

Again, you are not reading in context. Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 are about the LAW, the Ten Commandments, the Old Covenant. Chapters 6 and 8 are about the New Covenant of the Spirit, and Jesus was manifest to TAKE AWAY OUR SIN, and in Him there is no sin. It doesn't mean that you'll sin once...

Then Paul wasn't a born again Christian, according to the rest of the New Testament. 1 John 5:18 As far as present tense, you are implying by that that Paul was over 1300 years old at the time of that writing, having been alive before and at the time that Moses received the law. EG, you really...

You didn't answer this question: "If your first sexual intercourse is marriage, then are all future relationships are adultery?" Do you believe in remarriage? And it is a huge assumption that I have read all your posts... Having to repeat yourself is the nature of forums.

We've talked of this before. Romans 7 is about the OLD Law, the Ten Commandments that had to be kept by the letter of the law by a sinful flesh. That was the Old Covenant. Romans 8 INTRODUCES the New Covenant of the Spirit, and in verse 2 says "But the law of the SPIRIT of life in CHRIST, has...

So do you believe a committed unmarried couple should live together and have kids, and then get officially married? What is married? Is your first sexual intercourse is marriage, then are all future relationships are adultery?

Romans 8:9 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. You are interpreting 1 John 1:8 as if that was about a Christian. No, it is to Christians, but about man's state before we...

Can a believer sin or not? 1 John 5:18 What sins did Jesus take away the desire to commit. 1 John 3:5?

I'm curious what you believe is born again? What part of us? According to 2 Peter 1:2-4 I believe it has to be our nature is what is cruicified with Jesus. And what is our nature? I believe it is our mind and emotions - spirit and heart. They are made brand new and given immortality. What still...

We have a major responsibility in our conduct, showing good fruit. And continuing to grow. But Jesus gives us His grace. That is not unmerited favor, as taught, but the divine power of God, letting us be partakers of His divine nature. 2 Peter 1:2-4.

GG, Jesus takes away the nature that willfully commits lawlessness against the laws of God. Our old nature was in opposition to His laws; therefore always struggled Romans 7:14-23. But the Spirit frees us from that struggle by writing His laws on a new nature which is called being born again...

Thanks for acknowledging my post GodsGrace. Everyone else has ignored it. As far as "Orthodoxy" the majority of Christians are taught by "scholars" that teach we will always sin, so we will always struggle with sin. Many people struggle with sin so believe this "orthodox" but heretical...

An heretical teaching would be a doctrine of demons. Demons twist the words of Jesus and His teachings and say they cannot be true. There are scholars that look at their own lives to judge whether they have lived up to Jesus' teachings, or even can. Because their own lives do not reflect the...

I agree, and have already stated in other posts that the Philadelphians are already overcomers and are protected throughout. If I repeated everything I've already stated, my posts would be a book. P.S. That is as far as I read. I'm off to bed now. Good night Tim I want to read the rest, but...

I understand how obedience to the Spirit's leading can be very fruitful. When this same type of period of my life happened in the 1980's, I even destroyed a famous artist's original oil painting worth thousands of dollars. But God's voice is worth more to me. By not obeying God's voice, that...

I didn't refer to any 14 year period.

Hi Davy, Revelation 12:6 and 13-14 refer to the same first half of the GT. 12:13-14 is a repeat of 12:6 and must be read in the context of their individual surrounding verses separated by the war in heaven. Here unsaved national Israel is becoming saved and part of the saints during the period...
