That is our New Covenant - the power of the Holy Spirit.

Rita, you brought up a great point. Is all sin the same? No, not in God's eyes. 1 John 5:16-17 shows that what we are freed from is willful lawlessness - sins unto death. In other words heinous sins as in the last six commandments, dishonoring our parents, murder, stealing, committing adultery...

Nancy, if we are lying to say we have no sin, then Jesus didn't cleanse us from ALL our sin. And 1 John 3:5 is error: We know that Jesus was manifested (came and was crucified) to TAKE AWAY our sin, and in Him there is no sin. John is talking about the sins that are on our account. Before...

I can agree to that. But even more that we must not only abide in Jesus, but He must be abiding in us as well. After all, Jesus is not just our Savior that cleanses us of our past sins and gives us entry into heaven; but Jesus is the Christ, that takes away our desire to sin in the present and...

Look at Galatians 5:19-21. Is there anything that you like to do? I've looked at it, and I'm not interested or guilty of indulging in any of them, and neither do any of my Christian friends. But I certainly did before I was born again (and I know my friends well enough to know their before and...

Huh??? LOL Sanctification was long ago. Glorification is right now and forever.

We find it in 2 Peter 1. But, again, we are sanctified when we are justified. What I see you actually meaning semantically is when are we completely glorified - become like Christ, our model. 5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge...

Where people fail is when someone is going to church and not experiencing any power, they believe there is no power to be had. Then they base the reliability of the Bible on their own experience. You are right.

It is important to stay in the Spirit, because if you start opening the door to the flesh, each time it will be harder to close, because hearing the Spirit becomes duller each time - that is when you've given place to the war, but you can prevent it. Best to not open the door at all. Resist the...

It looks like I did misread that. Yes, our body and our nature are two different things. Isn't that what you are saying? Our old nature doesn't need to affect our new nature. IOW, we can stay in our new nature, never having to be affected by our old nature. That does take time and maturity, but...

Don't misunderstand me. We cannot be strong in our old nature - that is self and works. But WE CAN be strong in the Lord with Him dwelling inside us giving us the desire. We then just do what comes naturally to us from the divine nature.

NO, NO, NO! You don't agree at all. Our new nature is not affected at all by our old body. It seems you don't know what being born again to be partakers of the DIVINE NATURE is all about. If we have the new nature we don't have to pander to the old nature at all. You are a dear, sweet chaplain...

You seem like a very compassionate person, but only pandering to the unsaved, or those who are trying to be Christlike in their own power, which is works. What you are preaching is not strengthening the Spirit-filled to grow in true stature, but telling them they cannot be strong even with the...

Those in Jesus are NOT a slave to sin. Where did you get that falsehood? People are either a slave to sin, or a slave to righteousness. Romans 6. Jesus FREES us from sin, He doesn't leave us wallowing in the mire. John 8:34-36 If someone is struggling with sin, that is a sure sign they have...

"Come with the resurrection"? While the state of our new born again nature will remain the same upon the death of this body, it must be actually righteous and holy. Revelation 22:11. Our nature has nothing to do with our body. "Require us to draw us to Him"? The new nature already does that...

What do think will happen to the earth when an asteroid hits the earth at the California/Mexico boarder, half in and half out of the ocean? All of the islands in the Pacific will be obliterated by the tide wave. All the volcanoes including Yellowstone will erupt. You can sleep through it you...

Check out Revelation 8:8-9 8 Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. 9 And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. I've know that was an...

Do you even know the warnings in the Bible of what we can expect? We may not know the day nor the hour, but we sure know the season and year.

Not permitted to speak could also mean beyond description. But many people are seeing heaven these days. We are so close to the end you have no idea. The Tribulation could start in just two years, with the Asteroid hitting the earth in April of 2029.

I rephrased my first sentence, but it seems to be your belief too. To enjoy true freedom from sin, and not, I'm sorry to say, the false doctrine of just from condemnation; we must continuously walk in the Spirit. Those who quench the Spirit will fall back under the flesh, and, sorry, there is...
