Amen! I also learned extreme obedience through suffering. The week before I got married for the second time, again to a Christian, I kept feeling in my spirit God telling me to not marry him. I humanly reasoned that that check in my spirit was just pre-wedding jitters. After all, he was a...

We still have free will, and can quench the Spirit, but it is a serious matter. 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin...

Hi C, I will study the rest, but just so you know Romans 7 was not Spirit vs. law of sin, but Law of God vs. law of sin. Paul has already told us we are not under the law, which is what Romans 7 is talking about. It is Romans 8 that is Spirit vs. law of sin, and the Spirit frees us from the law...

You still don't get it. Maybe this will help. Jesus used parables, maybe this is the only way you can see. 1 John 3:9 is not practicing sin, but committing. That is not even one time. Here is my analogy of what it is like when our carnal nature is baptized in the Holy Spirit and born again...

Did you even read my post? One sin? Come on!

All you have to do is keep reading 2 more verses. :) 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me FREE from the law of sin and death. Romans 7 is the conclusion on Paul's teaching on the law of Moses. And he has already told us that we are no longer under the law. But he...

All the allowance of carnality in the church. 1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person. Especially a...

Everyone is born of the flesh with a sin nature since Adam sinned, "for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God - If we say we have never sinned, we lie and the truth is not in us." Those verses show that before we become born again in Christ we have all sinned. Paul uses the word...

Don't forget, Romans 7:18 is BEFORE coming to Christ and filled with the Spirit, so naturally you will still have the sin nature then.

Abraham was way before the Law and way before Jesus. Of course, his righteousness was "imputed" because it is only through Jesus that mankind can ever really be truly righteous.

What I find interesting is the Corinthians came short in no gifts, just like in Matthew 7:21-23, and yet they weren't saved. 2 Corinthians 7: 8 For even if that letter of mine made you sad, I am not sorry I wrote it. I could have been sorry when I saw that it made you sad for a while. 9 But now...

Hi C, Those weren't my fingers, but those of an old friend. Can you give me some scriptures that say we have both a born again nature AND the old nature?

Oh my, I feel so sorry for you! What kind of church are you going to anyway. Don't they know the difference between life before Christ with a sin nature, and after we are born again with a new nature that partakes of the divine nature of God? Unfortunately, I can't think of a denomination...

Ronald, we in ourselves can NEVER grow holier every day. The carnal nature is opposed to holiness. What??? It seems you have no idea what it means to be born again, and free from all desire to sin. Clueless! A carnal Christian is an oxymoron. A true Christian partakes of the divine nature of...

Yes, when the sign out front of the church says, "Go Titans", and never a word about Jesus, who can even tell it is a church? It saddens my heart. :(

I doubt that what was done in the Catholic and Orthodox Church can ever be undone. But you should know the truth. The origination of the title, queen of heaven, is pagan. When Christianity became the state religion, and paganism was outlawed, many things from paganism were brought into...

There are many pages and posts on here. Did anyone come up with an actual exhaustive scriptural list of references for this theory that I've never been able to see, so wonder how in the world anyone believes the Bible gives proof of this seemingly wishful thinking? If so who, and I'll see if I...

Hi there Miss C, This post is actually about blood. And what it can and cannot do for us depending on which covenant we are in. Blood of bulls and goats - COVERED our sins, but could not take them away. In fact, the covering only lasted one year, and those sins it had covered were still there...

I was always taught that the process we go through was called sanctification and was for the purpose of overcoming sin. But I searched the scriptures to see if that was true. It wasn't. Let's look at Matthew 7:21-23 and reason it out with other scriptures. 21 “Not everyone who says to Me...
