Did you even read the text I gave you? Did you believe it? 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. 22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. 23 And this is His...

Romans 8:9 Acts 2:38 The new man is the person who has the Spirit of God dwelling in him making us a new creature. What do you think?

I agree and disagree. If the Spirit of God dwells within us, then by obeying, that defines what I do. So what I do defines me. But it is solely by His power. If I go against the Spirit within me, that is quenching the Spirit, and I can again become sin's slave. Romans 6:16. If I don't repent...

Actually, I can judge by my conscience. When I have a clear conscience, I know I am keeping His commandments and am pleasing in His sight. 1 John 3:21-24. You shouldn't call yourself a sinner if you've been given the power to stop. That is the whole reason He gave you His Spirit (if He has...

I remember being such a weak-willed "Christian" for 30 years before I actually became born again of the Spirit and was granted to be on the path to salvation. I like these scriptures of what God granted to me. 1 John 3:1-3 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we...

The Spirit takes us from glory to glory. He will complete what He started.

Not at all. I was powerless before Christ gave me His Spirit to walk in.

Yes. It is called walking in the Spirit. And we are warned to stay in the Spirit and not to grieve or quench the Spirit. Committing sins of the flesh is quenching the Spirit.

Their defense mechanism is pooping. So, of course, it stinks! LOL Black mambos do smell like burnt rubber so you know when they are around.

Right, but that means we don't willfully commit sin; it is no longer in our nature.

I agree, IF you are talking about our past sins. 2 Peter 1:9

Exactly! But this is now, not after death.

But what you and @Enoch111 don't see is that Jesus cleansed our PAST sins, and DID NOT leave us in the same fallen condition He found us in, but gave us a new circumcised heart by giving us His free gift of EMPOWERMENT called the indwelling Holy Spirit. So what you could not do on your own, you...

Yes, when you use words like grace, but that may mean one thing to you, and another to me. This is what I meant: The baptism of the Holy Spirit empowers us to not sin, just like 1 John 3 shows us.

Over the past several years, certain ministries have published surveys stating that around 68% percent of men and over 50% of pastors in evangelical churches admit to consuming pornography on a regular basis. If these surveys are even close to being accurate, the biggest shock is that only 68%...

Yes, I agree. What do you think of my previous post on the Transfiguration here below?

I'm not sure why you believe no one wants to answer? The Bible is clear. We come to Christ just as we are - weak, powerless sinners, acknowledging that we are unable to rid ourselves of the sin that separates us from God, and ask Jesus to save us from the sin that enslaves us, AND HE DOES. He...

This peaked my interest, but I can't find the post you are referring to. What did the disciples misunderstand? It sounds like what people do on the forums - take things out of context, like they did 500 years ago during the Reformation.

I didn't read any article, no.

The only two men that did not die were Enoch and Elijah. But what if they are the two witnesses who DO die, and raised after 3 days. Did you ever think of that? And don't forget that there will be some who live to see Christ's second coming. They will never die if they are Christians.
