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

    Matthew 26 and Mark 14 are both talking about the unregenerated carnal nature that we are all born with. Without Christ we can never say that we have no sin, because we will only be deceiving ourselves, because the Spirit of truth is not in us. Without the Spirit of Christ in us to take away our...

    43 BB, you don't know me, so you must be speaking from your own experience.

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

    Do you remember the last sentence of Romans 8:9? BB, until you are born again of the Spirit of Christ, you do not belong to him. If you are trying to get to heaven in your carnal nature, and using willpower to overcome sin, you'll fail and will always revert to sinning. So how do you RECEIVE...

    Renouncing and repenting

    If you really are a "Lifelong sinner" as you claim, then you don't know the Truth that will set you free. John 8:32-36. Jesus came to TAKE AWAY our sin and make us sinless. That is the desire to sin, so what He does is takes away our carnal nature that produces the sin you seem to love. I was...

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

    And if you DO come to Him, obviously it has been granted to him by the Father, so are you automatically saved?

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

    Demons know that too. You still don't get it.

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

    Yes, but we cannot be righteous on our own. That's not what I'm saying we must do. We must Repent. We mustn't depend on rituals, but on integrity of heart and tell the truth about ourselves. If we are just coming to Christ as a new believer, we must know His word, and then we will see ourselves...

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

    BB, Jesus takes away our sins unto death. But there is the other type of sin called sins not unto death. We will all commit those until we fully mature in the Lord and His fruit of the Spirit. But we must still do our part and not only ask forgiveness for these trespasses, but FORGIVE OUR...

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

    What was interesting for me in that moment is I felt a burden lift off me. I know it was my carnal nature leaving me, and I felt light as a feather and so full of joy I could hardly contain myself.

    Doctrines of Demons???

    I was baptized THREE TIMES before actually repenting and becoming born again. THEN God spoke to me and told me, "now be baptized in water." You say the Baptism of the Holy Spirit does not appear in Scripture? Is the book called the Acts of the Apostles scripture? 4 And being assembled together...

    The Saving results of the Death of Christ !

    Don't tell me, ask yourself!

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

    Yes, and why I posted this post. Everyone needs to be a Berean and look at their doctrines of liberal defeatism that "we will always sin while in these bodies." That is the biggest lie, and justifies peoples weakness for carnal desires to sin. I don't want anyone should perish from their...

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

    We must repent. Because we must be born again of the Spirit. Many believe in Jesus from the outside, but He is not inside them. If Jesus is in you, your desires to sin will immediately change to desires to KNOW CHRIST INTIMATELY.

    Doctrines of Demons???

    You're in a pickle. For one thing, you will always sin UNTIL you receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Then you will not be in the old carnal nature, but in the Spirit. And as you walk in the Spirit you will abide in Christ and He in you. Until then, get rid of believing in doctrines of demons...

    The Saving results of the Death of Christ !

    Yes, He did, but He died to TAKE AWAY the sin or sinners. Do you believe you are STILL a sinner, or born again child of God that does not willfully commit sin?

    Doctrines of Demons???

    Ask the question again, but I don't know the question.

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

    You aren't able to judge me. The truth is foolishness to you based on your belief in doctrines of demons. 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive...

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

    Only if YOU are the one whose willpower is acting. But if the Holy Spirit is actually in you, it takes an instant.

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

    Jesus did His part, now we have to do ours.
