Correct! However, to be fair, I never found out if that is what he actually believed. But he did trigger the right questions to ask that you picked up on. LOL But, Gnosticism IS alive and well in the Church; it is the wide road. Holiness is the narrow road. And few there are that find it...

Again, that is our body that will be changed at the resurrection, but only if we are either righteous or holy - the state our life was when we died. Revelation 22:11. As for "asking too much of men," yes, that is Christ's domain. But He abides inside Christians, letting us partake of the...

Paul is talking of two different things called flesh. The main one is our carnal nature where sin resides. Verse 10 you quoted is there because it means 'not to be confused with' our body. And that is exactly what you are doing. What becomes born again is our nature. The carnal nature/flesh no...

What I asked you that you seemed to avoid, is what does your flesh do while your spirit doesn't sin?

Are you talking about everyone's spirit? Even the unbeliever?

Sorry, I didn't address your list. I don't know how old you are, but I'm 72 and have overcome those a long time ago. After all, I've been filled with the Spirit for 43 years. You will too if you have the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom.

Have you been taught that you can sin in the flesh, just not in the Spirit. Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions...

The condemnation is removed for those who walk in the Spirit. However, that is for those who have already repented and been cleansed. Thereafter, we are given His Spirit, and we must begin to walk in the Spirit and not grieve the Spirit. We have power to no longer sin once empowered and born...

Look at that again. I am not come to call the righteous, but sinner TO REPENTANCE. What do you think happens after repentance. Let us reason together. Does Christ just take away the condemnation of the sin, or the sin itself? I will stay up for awhile if you would like to converse. If I don't...

Some people are so sick, they boast about their sins. Kinda reminds me of my ex. Long before we met, he pastored a home church, and one woman was a virgin, and he raped her. And long after we were married he TOLD me about it!!! Then he seduced the wife of his best friend by preaching Jesus to...

Yes, amen. I agree.

marks, not every verse in a list of contrasts are good, but you can try to twist a nice meaning if you want to for yourself. I fear the Lord, God Almighty to do that. But if that's your jam... Well I have a sound mind, and see that God does require us to keep His commandments if we really want...

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant from the time one is an unbeliever to when they do repent. It is when they repent they are justified, because all their past sins are cleansed, and Jesus gives the Holy Spirit; thus, at the same time they are sanctified. That is just the beginning. Hallelujah...

You may believe that is a good verse, but it is judgment. It is in contrast to the next verse. Read it. In fact, just like 1 John 1:5-10, chapter 3 is all contrasts.

So you don't think justification is when our past sin is taken away and remembered no more? I agree. So what does grace mean to you - your definition. Yes, that is sad. I agree. The apostles warn us to not grieve, and especially, quench the Spirit. And through suffering our trials that...

I'm surprised that so many admitted it!

Does your question answer my question? I just posted some verses for you to study. I think if you clear your mind of all the things you've been taught by man so far, and study the truth of these, you might start asking the right questions.

@Helen was quoting 2 Cor. 9 about people that trust their experience, over the word of God, though she misused it. I hope my response to her cleared up her understanding, if not her heart. It seems you are doing the same thing. Where do you find that everyone sins who is born again? Everyone...

At what point is an unbeliever justified? And when sanctified? cc: @marks

Read Peter in context. He is referring to a Christian (not an animal) who turns away again to the world.
