    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    Don't let Jesus have to say to those who call Him, Lord, Lord and look at all the things I did in your name? But Jesus says, I never knew you. Why? Because of sin. Matthew 7:21-23

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    One thing about belief. The opposite is disobedience. 1 Peter 2:7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,” BB thinks belief without obedience is enough.

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    That was just a drop in a bucket of what I've experience. Instead of water into wine, God spoke to me about a lost diamond ring that I would find when I moved, and a vision of where it would be. (Top drawer of a three drawer dresser across the living room.) I went over there many times searching...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    BB, you're 68, and frankly I have to wonder if you even care if you sin or not. Why wouldn't you want to purify yourself if you actually want to go to heaven. 1 John 3:2-3.

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    I have the mind of Christ. I hear His voice and know what the Scriptures actually mean. I have experienced many of the same types of miracles that Jesus performed. They were supernatural. Things that Jesus said we could do. Things someone like you are clueless to and mock. But I know who I am in...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    The human carnal mind cannot fathom the spiritual, only the unregenerated human nature. Answer this. Did Jesus have sinless perfection? Did He tell us He came to take away our sin? Did He tell us to be perfect as the Father is perfect? Don't you know that Jesus was the firstborn of MANY...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    You must also repent; so repent and ask.

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    He obeyed because He had faith in God. His faith was not dead.

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    Are you saying that we don't have to repent first? That is sort of Calvinistic.

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    Ishmael did come from Abraham's loins, so how is that unbelief, and not belief? I think you may be so puffed up you've become blind to the truth that someone else has that you don't have. If you don't become humble you will always be blind and always stumble. Did Abraham KNOW that his heir...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    Justified is also when Jesus cleanses our nature of all past sins, and places a new nature in us that partakes of the divine nature of God. We don't have anything more to confess, just walk in the Spirit and not quench the Spirit. We must also grow in the fruit of the Spirit or else we could...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    Wow, I had not realized that Sarah didn't know. But I can see God's purpose. 2 Covenants. Galatians 4:22-36.

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    and @Tong2020 Paul's teaching in Romans is about the law and grace and is 8 chapters long. Taking chapter 4 or 5 out of context is the cause of many false doctrines of demons. Abraham wasn't under the law, chapter 4; and God's grace is introduced in chapter 5, but not what it actually is...

    Doctrines of Demons???

    No, I didn't. I would not have been able to commit willful sins of lawlessness that the Holy Spirit makes us incapable of desiring to do. Mungo, my friend, it is not a formula that God works through, it is our heart and motives about His Son.

    Doctrines of Demons???

    It had to do with knowledge of sin or motive. 1. Sprinkled as a baby without my even knowing about it for over 40 years. 2. Immersed in water to join the Seventh-day Adventist denomination. 3. Anger at Seventh-day Adventist Church for telling me only they had "The Truth." None of those were...

    Doctrines of Demons???

    They are the same. One tells who is doing the baptizing - the Spirit of Christ. And the other is Who comes into us to dwell and change our minds and natures to that of Christ - the Spirit of Christ. Romans 8:9; Acts of the Apostles 1:5-8

    Renouncing and repenting

    Romans 6 tells us a truth - we are dead to sin. But further in the chapter Paul tells us to also reckon (believe and call) yourself dead to sin. You call yourself a lifelong sinner. You are shooting yourself in the foot. Remember when we are tempted, that is a long way from actually sinning...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    If you believe that the demons didn't know who Jesus was you are kidding yourself.

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    BB, there is a difference in timing between being made sinless and all our past sins have been cleansed by taking away our carnal nature, and giving us a divine nature that only does righteousness, until they have truly become perfect and holy. And Paul knew these steps and where he was in the...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    You are believing the opposite of what Jesus came to do. See the post on Doctrines of Demons.
