Not to the Eastern mind, but to our Western mind, absolutely!

It is a Jewish writing style. Paul did the same thing. Even in Romans 7:9 Paul was speaking in the first person present, but it would have Paul OVER 1300 YEARS OLD to be present before and after mankind received the law through Moses. Then in verses 14-25 he is still using the same tense as if...

I'm not sure what you are trying to prove. That all mankind since Adam are born sinful? Absolutely! That Jesus DIDN'T take away our sin and in Him is still sin? Heresy!

What does "set free of its power" mean to you? BTW, did you know that God doesn't call His children sinners? He calls them children of God. 1 John 3:1

It is an example in the Mosaic law. This is mostly about the Old Covenant, until the end. It is because of trespasses, and not willful sins of lawlessness. Unlike sins of lawlessness which are sins unto death; trespasses are sin NOT unto death. They are the type of sin mentioned in the Lord's...

There are 8 steps. 7 is the number of completion; 8 is the number of new beginnings or the 8th day/eternity. This passage is what I call the process of glorification. IOW how we become like Christ. Romans 8:29.

Jesus was the first to be sinless, not the last. That is why He came! Romans 8:29. Daniel 9:24 Look at Romans 6. Fact: We are dead to sin. Mind: We must tell ourselves the truth which sets us free. Paul said we must also reckon ourselves dead to sin. If you keep trying to make your false...

Brother, that is from the Old Testament where the blood of bulls and goats merely "covered" the sins of the people, while the sins remained underneath. But they were forgiven. They remained until Jesus came and took them all away, 1 John 3:5, which He does for us too who believe in the Messiah...

I want to call you brother, but only you know the truth. Do you remember when you were filled with the Holy Spirit? I'm not asking when you were baptized, but when your nature literally changed from wanting to sin, to having power over sin to the level you had knowledge of sin? Philippians 3:16...

Yes, I thought I sensed that we were on the same page. Do you, or are there still things we disagree on? What do you think Romans 8:29 means? I believe it means that Jesus was the first of many brethren to be sinless, even though perfection/glorification is a process from there on. 2 Peter...

Yes, and while we are walking in the Spirit we are sinless - 1 John 3:21-24. How can we not? Sinlessness is not perfection. Perfection comes from 2 Peter 1:5-11. This is what we should be teaching. Victory through Christ - TODAY. Please stand with me and share the Truth. John 10:10

Romans 7:13; Romans 8:1-9; 1 John 3:1-24; Hebrews 10:26-31. Romans 8:1-9 shows the reason we are not under the Mosaic Law. It is because of the law of the Spirit written on our hearts. NOT THAT WE ARE NOW LAWLESS BECAUSE OF A MISINTERPRETATION OF GOD'S GRACE. No! Romans 3:31! We establish the...

I better be if I believe Jesus! You saying I am not sinless, is actually saying that you aren't even if you are. It is called fear of telling the truth, because you believe 1 John 1:8 is about born again, Spirit-filled Christians. You don't want to be called a liar, so you hide your...

Grace according to your definition is a license to sin. Jude 1:4. True grace is the Power of God given to us through the infilling of His Spirit to empower us to walk in righteousness. 2 Peter 1 That false definition of grace of yours by demons has been taught by Gnostics for centuries.

Yes, no one is born without sin. THAT is what both Paul says, "for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." And John in 1 John 1:8 and 10. None of those are Christians. That is why Jesus came and died for us. Not to free us from the law and punishment, but to free us from SIN that...

Wouldn't it be nice if that were true...but it's not. The righteous requirements of the eternal laws of God are still necessary, so if we are not under the law of Moses, what law are we under? Grace is not permission to sin. 1 John 3:21-24 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have...

Do you believe Jesus is our Advocate for murder without our repentance and turning away from committing murder again? Is murder automatically forgiven as we commit it? There is no mention of repentance required in 1 John 2:1

The title of this OP couldn't be more correct. Even though when we repent unto Christ, and He in turn gives us His Holy Spirit in our hearts where He writes God's laws, James, the brother of Christ and first leader of the Church, tell the apostles concerning the new Gentile converts, "19...

I'm curious what made you think it would be okay to speak disrespectfully to me like that? I'm going to bed.

I don't have the whole Bible memorized. Show me your examples.
