They've never sinned, but obviously have free will.

Why do you think Jesus said, "My yoke is easy, and my burden is light"? Doing what comes naturally is something you don't even have to think about. It's natural and easy. No burden of having to constantly choose to do something against your nature. This is why we MUST be born again in order to...

It is also a choice to stay there.

So is verse 9. So Paul was over 1300 years old and lived before and after Moses received the Law? Personal present tense is a teaching tool, the same as John used "we" in 1 John 1 of those before and after Christ. (6, 8, 10 unsaved). Those who still had sin in them but said they didn't were...

No, marks, we will already be "like Him." That is the purpose of submitting to purifying now. 5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to...

He had been a Pharisee before coming to Christ. Look at Romans 8:2. Who has been freed from the struggle of chapter 7?

I'm not that spineless. I'll stand for the truth even if I get beheaded.

It was a small request to honor that friendship that you couldn't do. It wasn't an honest poll, but one to demand your view.

Read it again, but this time add the context of chapter 8. Chapter 7 is the conclusion of Paul's teaching of those who only had the Law of Moses to live by, trying to be kept with only a carnal nature vs. 13. Jesus in chapter 8 frees us from sin, thus freeing us from the Law of Moses. Therefore...

You do what your nature tells you to do then.

We choose to do what comes naturally. If we have a carnal nature we sin. If we have a divine nature we don't. This is what it means for our nature to be born again of the Spirit. This is what sets apart the sinner from the children of God.

@BarnyFife Could you please edit your poll and take out "like robots"? You may not agree, but it is the only one that is scriptural, and we who believe the scriptures that say so, do not need to be mocked.

The way I see it, it is the seed of the Father that empowers us to no longer want to sin. 1 John 3:9. Jesus was conceived from it, thus He did not sin, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit is how we receive the seed of the Father. Those of us who are actually born again have a new nature that is...

I answered his (#46 and #52); what was your question, besides the joke?

Funny! :p

We are talking about sin, and I was showing you your quote, specifically, "purifieth himself, IOW, those who say they belong to Christ, yet are still slaves of sin, will not inherit eternal life.

We are not in our carnal nature if we are born again. Romans 8:9 This must happen BEFORE your body dies.

I still know you want nothing to do with sin because we are like minds on that.
