Hmmmm. Do I detect skepticism? You even believe in "covered." See how popular this false doctrine is?

How can your sins be "covered" and they not be hidden? I thought that is what you depended on.

Paul says to BE ANGRY, but sin not. Therefore getting angry is not a sin, anymore than Jesus sinned when He got angry and turned over the table of the money changers. If you knew my past, you would know that I came from a very unsheltered world. But I have escaped.

There you go with the that doctrine of heresy. You DO NOT BELIEVE never stumbling can happen to you while you are alive. May I ask what denomination you are a part of?

I want you to grow into perfection, and that you should never again stumble. 2 Peter 1:2-11

I didn't say grace doesn't do anything - you did. You deny its POWER. Do you have the power to not sin, or does your definition of grace, allow you to keep sinning, but it is not imputed to you?

"Covers" was the blood of bulls and goats. Jesus "Takes Away" our whole desire to sin, so that we can stand before Him as His SPOTLESS BRIDE. Curious, did you read my whole post. You uncovered your doctrine as false.

A sweeping generalization? No, it is actually scriptural and was the gospel that was understood in the first century and for a while beyond. But since the Roman and Bizantine Churches began around Constantine, many of the doctrines of the apostles slipped away, but then got completely perverted...

Don't worry, he can't hurt me. Just feel sorry for him and his lack of understanding, and hopefully, he will read a post that will touch him. He constantly uses Romans 4 (a chapter in the middle of Paul's eight chapter teaching on sin and the Law) but doesn't understand the conclusion. Romans...

Well, I was given many abilities I never had before. The first was hearing His voice so clearly, I was shocked. Immediately thereafter He gave me a vision of what was hindering me. So I repented right there, and I asked Him a question. And He spoke again - 8 sentences. Then it happened. I...

We can't finish the work. It is only by the POWER that Jesus gives us when He takes away all our desire to sin. The type of grace you are talking about is for the unsaved. But there is a higher grace that is HIS POWER for those who are made the children of God. They are no longer sinners, like...

I trust Jesus with all my heart. His grace is the power of God given to us that frees us from all willful known sin. False teachers believe that grace is the blood of Jesus covering our sins AS we keep on sinning and not imputing any sin to us. That is freedom TO sin, not freedom FROM sin. Is...

Read my post again. I said that part is a life-long process. What came instantly was freedom from sin. As well as many of the gifts of the Spirit. Since then, I've always been able to hear His voice. And because of that, I know His will and all my prayers are answered.

For me it was instant. It is called the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Believe me, it was astounding. I wasn't even expecting it. That is not to say we are perfect. Perfection comes from the life-long process of doing 2 Peter 1:5-7. It is also from growing in the knowledge of the Word of God...

The "old man" is the sin nature. Paul is referring to it in Romans 8:9 when he refers to the flesh. "But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His." Enoch, it is important to Paul that...

I agree. But there are many "Christians" that believe the flesh is the body, and we will not be free from sin until our body is dead and changed into the immortal body. What would you say to them?

I'm not throwing guilt, nor will I put up with false assurance that will find many judged. I leave the false assurance to the false teachers. But I will share the truth so that many more will be in heaven than would be if I didn't teach them.

What I found in my profound experience that night is that I had always thought I was saved, just like many others in the Church. I did something new that night; I did a prerequisite that I had never done before. It is that prerequisite that I teach. Also that one of the key symptoms to not being...

9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of Him...

Right, and me with a head-ache. I've got a brain tumor that I didn't think was growing. Maybe it is about time to have another MRI. :eek:
