    Can A Person Be a Christian And A Sinner At The Same Time ?

    You are just labelling things based on your own perception. The truth is objective. There are two natures...the Adamic and the divine nature in Christ. If you are in the Adamic nature...you are dead in your sins. If you are in Christ you are alive in the righteousness of God. Rather than...

    Can A Person Be a Christian And A Sinner At The Same Time ?

    LOL...In Adam we are all sinners....just like Hitler. We may hate the comparison because we like to justify ourselves as follows...I may be a sinner but at least I'm not like THAT guy....just like the Pharisee said to God about the "evil" tax collector. So our outrage obcures the truth about...

    Yes...then they will point a finger at you and call you self-righteous for daring to point it out!!! :)

    Can A Person Be a Christian And A Sinner At The Same Time ?

    I could select any number of test cases to prove anything. There have been billions of people who have been born and died. You chose an example of someone who didn't understand the latin bible (he was probably forbidden from reading it) and tried to reach Christ or sinlessness by his own...

    Assurance of salvation

    And the walk in the Spirit is God walking through men...Paul said it was Christ living through him...that is what Christianity is...it is a new creation in Christ. Not the same old bondage...but freedom in Christ. Freedom to sin? God forbid! We are free to walk with the Lord IN Christ BY the...

    The Power of God:

    The tax collector will claim he is the Pharisee and the Pharisee will claim to be the tax collector!!! ;) I have never claimed to be perfect...you are again using false accusations to try strengthening a point that isn't biblical at all. I am saying that Jesus Christ does not sin...never has...

    The Power of God:

    Only One...yes!!!! But that One made a way for us to become co-heirs with Him. Not by making God blind...but by a new creation in holiness without sin.

    Can A Person Be a Christian And A Sinner At The Same Time ?

    Your few examples prove that some people tried fighting the flesh in their own strength. This does not take away from the victory and truth in Christ. It just means that people throughout history were not all victorious in Christ. Throwing yourself on branches and whipping yourself makes good...

    Aspen my friend...these "ideals" turned the world upside down in the first century. Many "idealists" were burned, sawn in half and thrown to Lions. But they will reign with the great Idealist...Jesus Christ. :) Hooah brother! :)

    The Power of God:

    This conclusion is not the meaning of Paul. He is saying that we follow the law of sin and death with the flesh nature or we follow the Spirit of life though the Spirit. We can't do both. Read Romans 8...remember that Paul didn't have chapters in his letters...they were all one description of...

    Can A Person Be a Christian And A Sinner At The Same Time ?

    ....And as babes we will need to confess our sins of failure to apprehend His means of victory. The reality is that we need not depart from His presence...ever! Once we realize this and remain in Christ then we cease from sin altogether. We don't live in a perpetual repentance...but in the...

    Is God punishing me?

    God trains us for our good! I have pretty bad eczema! Paul also had a thorn in his flesh. :)

    Is it right to imagine god?

    Some say that God looks like a Black woman!!!?

    I need a distance learning bible college that is extremely affordable and accredited!

    Jesus doesn't hire proffesionals. It is men who hire proffesionals. Maybe you'd have a better chance by taking up fishing? ;)

    Can A Person Be a Christian And A Sinner At The Same Time ?

    I agree that sanctification is a process...part of the process of our salvation from this world and this life. But consider this...when we are forgiven in Christ through His word...we are cleansed from all unrighteousness 1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us...

    The Power of God:

    You are describing the sunday morning shuffle. Paul says it is like forgetting what you look like in the mirror. The mirror is supposed to reflect Christ. So will you judge the bible by your behaviour and that of the people around you...or will you believe the testimony from the bible?

    Can A Person Be a Christian And A Sinner At The Same Time ?

    Many think the flesh nature is too strong for God. They will never say it but instead hide the fact that they believe Adam has triumphed over Christ.They say that there is no way on earth for Christ to defeat Adam....not even by His death and resurrection. Faith in sin seems boundless...faith in...

    The TWO NEW Covenants -mjs

    This is the conundrum we face in the church. We see many well meaning people "getting involved." But unless the Lord builds the house they labour in vain... I'm not questioning the intentions of either you or the authors of the materials you post. I question it's truthfulness....actually I am...

    Are we supposed to turn the world upside down or the word upside down? :wacko:

    You are quite the hasty one. I don't remember having more than one or two small responses with you. Have you possibly changed your username?
