There was no way I could change my nature - my natural instincts. It was only by Jesus and the Holy Spirit that my nature was changed supernaturally. I didn't do anything. He did it all. But that is exactly what JESUS said He would do in SCRIPTURE. I KNOW His words and claims are TRUE.

I'm not agreeing to your opinions without what scripture you are referring to. And I will research any scripture that seems to contradict the teachings of Jesus to see what is really being meant, or if it is about an unsaved person, and not a Christian like 1 John 1:8 that millions believe is a...

Exactly. So what's the problem?

marks, I'm sure you can understand Jesus when he says He takes away our sin, indeed. How much is indeed? How much is all? What we disagree on personally, between you and me, is when. That doesn't matter what we believe, it is what did Jesus SAY.

The carnal nature, the old man, was corrupt. That must be born again and puts on immortality. But the body is still corrupt in that is gets sick, grows old and will still die. When it does and Jesus brings it back to life and it is changed putting on immortality, it is then combined with the...

At the beginning of the chapter 6, isn't being dead to sin when we are crucified with Christ and are dead. That is referring to being born again, as opposed to someone who is not. We are born again in THIS life. We are filled with the Spirit and changed on the inside in THIS life. But the body...

Yes. But God always provides a way of escape. The born again, look for it and they find it and take it. 1 Corinthians 13: 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks...

What do I mean? Or what does the Bible say? That's what this post is about. I have to ask myself, just like you have to ask yourself, if what we believe is what Jesus taught, or our own human reasoning. spiritual is supernatural. 1 Corinthians 2:9-16 9 But as it is written: “Eye has not...

supernatural is natural for the born again. carnal is natural for the unsaved.

It is supernatural, and cannot be understood by human reasoning and carnal thinking.

And as I said, you are misinterpreting those verses. The born again are NOT drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

Exactly. That is what Jesus does for us - gives us His powerful, sinless, Spirit of Christ. Romans 8:9 If you are living in the Spirit, you are NOT walking according to your flesh. Do not quench the Spirit.

Just don't be fooled into thinking that verse is about sin. Jesus already took away our sin when He cleansed us from ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS when He justified us and sanctified us. Now He is glorifying our soul and spirit to be like Him. Romans 8:29-30. For me, I went to church for 30 years before...

Romans 6:16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? The body is not where sin originates. It is the nature. The "carnal nature" is called 'of the...

This isn't about still sinning, but maturing in the Spirit. 2 Peter 1:5-7 are the steps. Note, all about the fruit, nothing about overcoming sin. The sister verse to this is Romans 7:25. Mind and spirit are the same thing, and our own spirit, not the Holy Spirit. We need the Holy Spirit to not...

Well, if you are looking at the Bible you haven't proved it. You are just quoting a doctrine that is the opposite of Jesus.

Yes, giving is now out of love, not the letter of the law. But try to tell that to pastors!

That wasn't a tithe. They pooled their resources. New Testament giving is from the heart and Spirit, not the letter.

Yes, it is Truth that sets us free. Doctrines of demons are Lies.

I believe Jesus and His Spirit of Truth. You believe your experience and question your Lord.
