Just noticed this part. Wow! If you don't believe in obedience to Christ, then how can you say you love Him. Or has love nothing to do with it, just your version of faith.

I am very conscious of that command, and do not allow myself the luxury of holding grudges, or let any root of bitterness take hold. You do whatever you believe, and hopefully you won't believe a lie. If you don't believe this command, as if it is Old Testament, then go ahead and believe that...

I'm not going to test God, nor teach others to believe something contrary to His word. Matthew 6:14-15 is quite clear. No sinners will enter heaven. Revelation 22:11

What was finished was the Old Covenant. We are now under the New Covenant. The Ten Commandments and the law of Moses was the law of sin and death, also called the ministry of death. The New Covenant is called the ministry of the Spirit, or the law of the Spirit of life in Christ. This is when...

I was using the word "strive" as a quote from who I was talking to (who is now on ignore)

Grace is NOT permission to sin and Paul speaks against your doctrine in Romans 6. The Grace of God is the Holy Spirit. That is what is different between the Old Covenant laws and the New Covenant way of fulfilling the righteous requirements of the law. Romans 8:1-9 There is therefore now no...

I just don't. I always take the path of escape provided by God, and resist the devil. What do you do?

I've had enough of you and your abuse. Clearly, you have no fruit of the Spirit. You can say and believe whatever you like, I won't see it, because you are going on ignore.

I'm not going to read everyone's replies, but the Father is saying of the Son that they are God. And so is the Spirit. They are one. 1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. Romans 8:9 "But you are not in...

I'm surprised you are saying this to me when you KNOW I credit my walk to having the God of the Universe indwelling me! And E does the same. THAT is what it means to be born again. Some believe they are in theory, but with no changes to their reality. Sheesh! E and I are not clones, but I like a...

I couldn't get on this site for hours. They must have been updating this site in this area.

Overpower grace? Grace is the Spirit of God. Paul has given us the command to not quench the Spirit. That should answer your first question. I was one of the special ones who had to bear trials and learned strict obedience through 13 years of suffering. God delivered me from the point of being...

That is what I have been saying. It would be against your new nature to go back. It is easier to just walk in the Spirit. But Hebrews 10:26-39 was written for that person who willfully sins.

Actually, that is what I am doing. Aren't you one of those who doesn't believe in sinlessness? Have I been mistaken about you. If so, then I am sorry. Why do you want to be Christ-like?

Hardly anyone who has been truly born again fails. Problem is, there are not many examples of those who have been truly born again for you to examine. It seems you relate to those who have not been born again and who have to strive for they do not have the Spirit of God indwelling them. There...

Be back later...

So why do you "strive" to eat grass if you are a lamb?

@Eternally Grateful Please fix your post #3663

It would be hard to sin after been given the power of God to be like Him. I don't, but it seems people have. Hebrews 10:26-31.

Here is my analogy of what it is like when our carnal nature is baptized in the Holy Spirit and born again: "It is like being born with the nature of a lion, loving to kill, and having only a taste for blood and fresh meat. But the law says to not kill and only eat grass. Then that lion becomes...
