We must believe...that is the work we must do!

Blessings to all! :)

1Jn 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 1Jn 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 1Jn 3:6...

Here is a question that seeks to reveal the true direction of the people here on this forum. What say you!

If I say to someone...Do all sin? ...for instance....someone could say...You said all sin! So Richard is trying to obscure my challenge to his position as an assault on his words. Th If this is a discussion forum and I can question his teachings can I not? I use rhetorical questioning to...

This is what is being preached nowadays. It is the opposite of the way of God.

You are saying that the Spirit is powerless against the almighty flesh! You have made the flesh to be all-powerful! Seems to me that only God is all powerful and that He has provided the means to overcome sin through that power. Is the Spirit not sufficient to animate us after our flesh has...

God has chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the wise.

You claim righteousness for yourself? Hmm...who else did that?

Does sin make Christ's atonement more useful? We should sin to make Jesus' death have more meaning?

HAve you considered that God equips those He called to actually BE holy...not just tolerate them? Only then is both mercy AND truth satisfied. Think about it. There is a new heaven and a new earth coming. :)

There seems to be a lot of this type of reasoning going around! :blink: Justifying our own sins is as bad as being obsessed with them.

Idealism? Is Christ now a philosopher? The bible is the truth told by men who were transformed by God. Today we see the lack of power and a lack of the testimony that shaped the disciples of Christ. We say...God no longer works that way...or else they were just young and not mature in the ways...

You are confusing faith and hope...Trusting in a past event and looking for a future life is about hope not faith. Faith moves mountains TODAY. Our walk is NOW, So if you walk by faith then you will inherit what is hoped for at that time. We reap what we sow. So we walk by the power of Christ...

Paul learned to overcome in Christ alone. God meant for him to explain the process as he did in Romans culminating with Romans 8 where he finally overcame through Christ. Historically we have John who said that one who is born again does not and cannot sin. That is HIS testimony. So those who...

You are seeking to obscure the biblical truth with a historical truism? Paul showed the PROCESS of becoming set free from sin in Christ. Peter denied Christ before Pentecost. It is very possible that we can sin in our immaturity in forsaking the keeping power of God through our habitual...

Logabe you are certainly a servant of my Master! I appreciate your posts! :) God will not give Israel in the flesh another chance. God has permanently chosen to have Christ be the doorway to Himself. We each live our lives and then comes judgment. God chooses some among us but He will never...

He is also a God of truth judgment and righteousness. God does not rejoice at the death of the wicked. We should be careful to not become humanistic in our view of God. How can God attach Himself to what is not holy? We may sin and override wisdom in our own affections, but God most assuredly...

Another one!!! ;) To teach sinfulness in the flesh is to deny the power of the cross. We are dead to sin who are dead in Christ. We are alive to God who are born again from above according to the Spirit. The Holy Spirit does not sin, and neither do they who walk in His power.

God has created many billions of us so that the required number may be present at the revealing of His glory. It is those who will be absent that are the losers.
