I'm sick of it. Now I'm like a bull seeing red, full of righteous indignation when someone uses those verses which negate what Christ actually did for us. They depict Christians as full of weakness and despair. I've even seen Spirit-filled preachers in the AOG preach that nonsense! I can relate...

Yes, I find that disturbing, especially those who do study, but don't read in context. Then when they come up with their own doctrine, they won't even allow correction when someone points out the real meaning of the passage they've twisted. Romans 7:14-23 and 1 John 1:8 are the two passages that...

The most common type Christian today are those who are lukewarm, that don't even reason spiritual beliefs as far as what you've presented. They call themselves Christians, like calling themselves an American. If they have a Bible, it has dust on it.

I agree. The whole idea of grace is a license to sin is far worse. Jude 1:4

The core doctrines of Catholicism are fine, but they are weighed down by the additions of so many unscriptural "holy traditions" that are obviously false, causing disillusionment even for the core issues. Sort of like "throwing out the baby with the bath water."

I don't know. But I have known a lot of ex-Catholics that are now either agnostics or atheists, and one is Buddhist.

She said she was ex-Catholic, not ex-Christian. What makes you say that?

Romans 6:2 says we are dead to sin. That is the truth and fact. However, further in the chapter we are commanded that we must also declare it, and reckon ourselves dead to sin. To say otherwise, is of the flesh, not of the Spirit.

People say a lot of stupid things. That is where false doctrines start - people. Personally, to say such things is a slap in the face to what Jesus accomplished, namely defeating Satan in our lives.

If you are free from sin, what are you feeling guilty about? John 8:34-36

Yes, I had already received the Spirit when He gave me the rhema.

I remember when I didn't know Jesus is God. I was in my 30's when it hit me like an epiphany. I even wrote in my Bible next to a verse I was reading - "Jesus is God!" Never doubted it since. Keep reading. You may receive a rhema from the Spirit also.

Whew! :p

Really? We agree on so many things, but do you not see that the Word became Jesus, and the Word was God? Thus Jesus is God. Simple logic. 1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a...

When reading scripture you must understand the mindset and the setting of the author. The Psalms were written during sin's reign. That was so UNTIL Christ for those who accept Him. We cannot go back to old thinking like a dog returning to his own vomit. John 8:34-36 Jesus answered them, “Most...

Oh, Bob, Romans 7 is about someone under the Law, like the Jews, BEFORE Christ, when they were still slaves to SIN. Paul isn't talking about a Christian there, but rather shows the contrast between the Law and the Spirit in chapter 8, the conclusion to his teaching on the law since chapter 1...

Both.

Good night.

Some more than others.
