OSAS is the root of my harshness. It is a very dangerous doctrine of demons. I care, just like Paul did in 1 Corinthians 1. Do you think turning someone over the Satan is singing them lullabies? Not wanting to talk about sin, and saying things like obsession with sin, is a clue that they do not...

But don't throw out ALL law, and believe in lawlessness. Actually Paul is talking about Covenants, and the life-changing difference between head knowledge only (Old Covenant) trying to be kept with a carnal nature in opposition to the laws; and spirit knowledge, the laws written on our hearts...

Exactly.

Justification and Sanctification are back to back. Justification is looking back at being cleansed of all our past sin and the carnal nature that spawned sin, and Sanctification is looking forward as one set apart for good works. Being justified and sanctified is being born again. Then comes the...

Exactly! Jesus said we MUST be born again. That means that we will supernaturally lose the desire to sin when the laws of God are written on our hearts, which is just the opposite of our old carnal nature that was in opposition to God's righteousness and makes the common man struggle with his...

Pearl, I like these verses and like to compare two versions. 2 Corinthians 13:5 NKJV 5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified. 2 Corinthians 13:5 TLB 5 Check up on...

Because we need to be aware if any still have a problem with sin, they haven't been freed from it, and are NOT born again. Don't you want to make sure that Jesus won't be talking to you and saying, "Depart from me, I never knew you, you who practice wickedness." Matthew 7:21-23. So if you don't...

Seeing as I was baptized 3 times before I was actually born again of God, and THEN God told me to NOW get baptized, the order in which we get baptized is not as important as what baptism represents: The dying of our nature on the cross, and the resurrection of the new nature, being born again...

I know what you are saying, and agree to a point about feeding your spirit. But think about this: if the old nature is dead, how is it still alive? It's not, but our free will to choose is still alive, along with our new nature. We do not have two natures at the same time. It is just like...

I agree with this. Becoming sinless is not something we can do on our own, but that seems to be what you think we are saying, or what I'm saying. Yes, we need a Savior. So let me ask you this question. When we come to Jesus humbly as a sinner, what do you believe Jesus does about our sin nature...

Yes, because they don't make men like they used to!:p

Wow, did you leave LDS?

1 John 5:7-8 or there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one Question anyone. Many times Jewish writers make...

Some say yes, some say no. I don't know. What I googled is "how many mountains are around Jerusalem." That's because I had heard about it a long time ago, and wanted to see if it was Jerusalem they were talking about - or was it Rome.

Jerusalem is also know as the city of 7 hills.

So saints are lying if they say they have no sin? Have they, or have they not been cleansed of all unrighteousness? If the have no sin, but insist they do, aren't they lying, and what's more slapping the One who cleansed them of all unrighteousness in the face?

I'd be happy to show you a reference to the Semitic writing style of contrasts. There is another style called parallelisms that are also very, very useful. Seeing as we were talking about 1 John 1, I'll start there, then 1 John 3. If you are observant, this will answer the question of why 1 John...

When you walk in the Spirit you know when to command healing and it will happen, just as Jesus did. Did you notice that at the Pool of Bethesda Jesus only healed one person, among all that were there? At least that is all that is recorded. I wonder if He really did leave the others. Also, I...

Basically the same thing happened to me during the 6 years I went from a Cessationist to knowing the gifts were still on earth until Jesus comes. They are part of our New Covenant. I also remember "trying" to speak in tongues, and now know I basically faked it "by faith." But there is a problem...

I find that the same people who want to read and understand Romans 7:14-23 as Christians, also quote 1 John 1:8. It is like they are trying to justify their own struggle with sin by claiming that Paul did too. Anyone who struggles with sin is not born again, and it is no wonder they don't...
