We still have free will after we have been born again. Hebrews 10:26-31 wouldn't exist as a warning to the sanctified if it wasn't a possibility that someone filled with the Spirit of God couldn't willfully sin. There are those who believe that once born again, willful sinning cannot separate...

Okay, I'm game. Tell me why you brought us the blood of bulls and goats as if to counter what justbyfaith believes? I also have a question I've pondered for years. 2 Peter 2: 21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn...

When your Much hate! turns back to Much love! to me and others, I will. We used to be friends and mostly on the same page, but then you turned nasty, and frankly, I missed the old you.

The post you were responding to said nothing about this: I only looked up that last post by having what I ignored show up (I have him on ignore), and it said nothing about the blood of bulls and goats. Now you may have been referring to one farther back that I don't know about. But from what I...

Where in the world do you get that @justbyfaith said any such thing. I read his post #724 that you were responding to and....YIKES! This is bearing false witness. Just because someone is clinging to Jesus and does not want to stumble is scriptural 2 Peter 1:2-11, especially 10-11. OSAS is greasy...

He is a backslider. But there was a time when he was a pastor. I do not believe in OSAS, as some do about backsliders, but I will err on the side of God's Word. 10 Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband. 11 But even if she does depart, let...

"but I am carnal, sold under sin." 1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. Your verses you are holding on to for some reason are those who know and abide by the Law of Moses. Romans 7:1 There are Christians who know about Jesus and want Him to...

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. Also, when I read...

He is not an unbeliever, that's the point. He even takes his wife to church.

The sin nature produces the sin. Romans 6:2 we are dead to sin, so what produces the sin no longer controls us. There is no battle. We partake of the divine nature because that old sin nature has been born again. The old is gone as long as we do not revive it and quench the Spirit like a dog...

I didn't divorce him, he divorced me without cause. The divorce isn't valid in the eyes of God. Besides, he isn't dead. He is living in perpetual adultery and so is his mistress. 39 A wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to be married to...

This is where we agree on one point, but don't agree on another. The carnal flesh is our carnal corrupted spirit nature. It is not our body. Our body must put on immortality just like our spirit/nature became alive unto Christ and has already put on immortality. We no longer have to struggle...

Yes, when we married.

How do you explain that we are not in the flesh but in the Spirit while still alive?

True. This is why I haven't dated since my Christian husband left me for the wife of his best friend and married her.

Was Paul a Spirit led Christian?

God is omnipresent. Romans 8:9 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.

There you have it. You want to be under the law.

Yes, we won't be robots, but God knows all that will be there will already love God with all our hearts and have no desire to sin. No more tears, no more pain, even emotional, only love. Romans 8:9 9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin...

I believe anyone who is filled with the Spirit of God, not just the apostles, has been given the mind of Christ. 2 Peter 1:2-11
