Also look to see if the power of God is moving in their life. Only then can you trust that the Spirit is teaching them the true meaning of His word. BTW, nothing in our New Covenant has ceased, including the gifts of the Spirit.

I have so many, I'm writing a book about them.

No one, even Word of Faith, believe these are fruit of the Spirit, but gifts of the Spirit. But some of them I have not heard of. Getting a postcard from Luke????????????????? The some of the others I either have personally, or know someone who has: 1-4; 8-14 (seen demons, yes, except about...

Then I take it you believe the accounts in the Bible are hogwash too. That they couldn't possibly have happened. 1. The earth and heavens were created in one week. 2. The flood covered the whole earth. 3. The plagues hit Egypt but missed every Isrealite. 4. The waters of the Red Sea and the...

But also, the same amount of dish soap will do 10 and not just one. You should see my stove. Half of it is stacked with every dirty pot and pan I own. I'm sorry I didn't get that book to you. I had to go by the post office, and the part where you talk to an actual person is closed. You have to...

Oh, the dishes are just one of many procrastinations. My thing is, I'll do them when I'm not in so much pain. That goes for the rest of the house too! :eek:

Silly, I already know them. They are in Romans 4 and 5. Well, actually 5 is about sin NOT being imputed to us when there is not law. But those are all about the law and the power of grace as an introduction to the ministry of the Spirit. You say you are in the flesh. But when you have the...

You have John contradicting himself. That is not logical. 1 John 3:5 Will read the rest tomorrow. Good night brother.

Imputed righteousness? Are you talking about Abraham? His obedience and trust in God was accounted unto him as righteousness. You are making it out to be if he sinned, he would be seen as righteous. No, just the opposite. 1 John 3: 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices...

The righteousness of Christ is not just a covering while we keep sinning as you describe. It is real, not theory. My nature now is to keep His commandments. I don't have to work at it. That is part of my new nature. jbf, I'm afraid you've got a twisted version of what the law of the Spirit of...

A born again child of God doesn't commit the sins you are talking about. Mine ended in 1977. You are saying you will commit sins tomorrow, but in two days they will be in the past. Do you really think that is what Peter meant in 2 Peter 1:9? o_O You still don't get it. Both Romans 7:18 and 1...

To the degree I know you, I think you are being too hard on yourself. You are well on your way to perfection, my dear. As faithfully as you avoid sin, I doubt you are being apathetic at all. The yoke of Christ is very easy. According to 1 John 3:21-24, go to bed with a clear conscience. And I...

Does that include willful sins? You really need to study Hebrews 10:26-31. It is only our PAST sins that were taken away. We are then empowered to no longer willfully sin. We may sin unintentionally, but not willfully.

@Nancy, that last part I put in red seems to me to strive for perfection if never stumbling assures the entrance to the everlasting kingdom of Jesus.

Complete in Him would be being just like Him wouldn't it. He is perfect, and He is to be the first of many brethren just like Him. Romans 8:29-30. Someone who is perfect never stumbles. Those who know this truth are never apathetic, and indeed, "work out their own salvation" Good word, Nancy...

Those are all outside influences, so how do you surmise that an inward act should be included in this list? 7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, And whose sins have been covered. 8 “Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not take into account.” This is someone who...

Hi Brother, Again we disagree, but I want you to show that ALL OUR SINS, include not just up to the point Jesus takes our old sins away as in 2 Peter 1:9, but the sins we haven't even committed yet. And if so, what type of sins would they be. Like major sins like willful sins of lawlessness like...

We mostly agree, but on this we never have. Now I'm not saying we know everything that we may be doing wrong, but according to the light we have, we should be living that life perfectly. And what's more, it is the Holy Spirit that empowers us to do so, and teaches us more and more as we live...

We must make sure that we are actually abiding in Him, and He is actually IN us. 1 John 3:23-24 23 This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us. 24 The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We...

I'll go the extra mile, just in case the forgiveness of my own trespasses depends on it. Heaven is nothing to play chance with. Besides, unforgiveness of a trespass may be a trespass held against me! Trespasses may be small, but they are big enough to prevent me from being perfect as Jesus told...
