If you falsely claim to see when you don't...yes. But the opposite is also true....when you do see into the Spirit then you are a son of heaven.

No. Because I was WITH God in Zion. Living in both places with this world slightly out of focus. There is no sin possible IN Christ. The only omission is we omit God. Here is an exercise of what it is like. Focus on something close to you. You can still notice things in the distance but they...

Our "natural" condition is as sinners...and hopelessly so. Our "super-natural" condition is as saints who are holy as Jesus is. How? By the power given to us through Christ becoming as we are and developing a way for us to follow Him in that same power. This is called the "Way".

Amen. We have to get away from the idea of seeing everything from a carnal or fleshly viewpoint. We need to greet the Christ IN others. We are to no longer estimate things according to the flesh. God uses people. If you resist His servant...you resist God. Even Gamaliel (a non-believer)...

Exactly! But people don't understand the power of the cross that crucifies our tendency to sin....so I have to use the umbrella idea to put across the power of it. Would people understand what staying out of the rain is like by being under the shadow of His wings?

Surely. ALL have sinned and fallen short. We cannot deny that. But John never says we HAVE to continue in sin. That is utter nonsense making the bible an apologetic that condones sin.

If we sin we have neither seen Him or known Him. (Same author as you have misunderstood and misquoted)

I have been sinless...IN Christ. He is and was my sinlessness. He is/was my victory. When I am tempted away from His shelter and power (under grace) I return to the natural world which is under the law of sin. If it is raining outside and I am exposed to the air then I am UNDER the rain. I get...

As false as can be. You are using doublespeak. I am saying that we who are IN Christ (where there is no sin) are saved from sin from that abiding. But you are saying that the law no longer applies to you so you can sin...because God loves you. read the bible without your indoctrination glasses...

There is sin that leads to death. In the end all sin leads to death. Some sins just take you there quicker. But look at what Paul says about sin....whether in the law or out. Romans 2:12, "All who sin apart from the law will perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be...

You are trying to blame a disciple of Christ for not sinning by abiding in Christ? Victory over sin is an automatic by-product of abiding in Christ. In Him is NO sin. Your doctrine is simply not of God or anyone who has known the Lord. It rests on the self or lack of effort of self.....but...

Of course not. I could be a person who was tested and deemed a failure. To whom much is given more is required. Paul feared rejection by God. That's because he actually knew God. Those who don't know God don't fear Him and aren't concerned for their own spiritual welfare. They are numb about it...

The bible is unique in that the words of themselves are far-fetched...as words go. But when the Spirit gets a hold of those words and declares them over us...as a rhema living word.... then the words take on power and we are transformed. So when THAT happens words like YOU ARE DEAD...become...

Jesus Christ is an offense to mankind. Not just in Himself...but also as He lives through people. So then people deny Christ in others. But it is still a denial of Christ Himself. Inasmuch as you did this to these you did it to Me. The scandal is that other people have Christ in them...and are...

According to the interpretation of fallen religious men...God will always appear as scandalous. The gospel message is an OFFENSE to the flesh. It says that everything we do and think is tainted by sin. It says we need a Saviour. So then we need the power of the cross of Christ to kill that sin...

Our decisions for Christ are insufficient for victory over sin and death. Our minds (the law of the mind) want to obey the Lord. And we do so to a certain extent. But not to the depth required for victory over sin. Don't believe the wolves that come into the church to steal away disciples from...

I have gone long periods without sin. But I am never out of the reach of sin of myself. It depends where I am living from. If I live from Christ...then I walk as He walked. If I am not walking by the power of His Spirit then I am as any other man. Jesus Christ is to me as hair length was to...

People like skipping ahead. But the vast majority of believers are stuck in Romans 7...and are still "under the law" in respect to reality. Listen to what Paul says... Rom. 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it...

A humble person (the kind that God gives grace to) would not consider himself/herself to be part of the elect. God sees the future and knows His own. Our job is to depart from iniquity. But how far are we really able to depart from that which is offensive to God? We need God's help every step...

John says that...we ought to walk as Jesus walked...IF we abide in Him. 1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6...
