I think much of the problem with the haters is they do not believe in works of any kind, thus they don't even try to not sin.

I am. I would want someone to defend me against my haters. Read the title of this post and who this is about. I don't follow the prosperity movement though I am a woman of great faith, but what I do know is the Copelands know the importance of not sinning, and giving to those in need. Their...

just responding to your you first calling me a judge.

no, but YOU do. And so does God. You can't get away with lying to anyone.

You can lie to me, but don't lie to yourself.

I read it about 30 years ago when I had a hunger for finding books on church history.

I've read the book. It was very good.

Sorry, but the Lord can't lie to you.

Says who?

That is correct. Everyone who does not have Christ will sin and walk in darkness 1 John 1:6; sin is still in their nature. Also 1 John 1:10 So no matter how hard they try, they will still sin, if only in their heart. This is why the next verse is how to become a Christian. They are cleansed from...

What needs to be explained is what I highlighted. Your statement seems like a dichotomy. "Being free from sin is not the same thing as not sinning.

You are fixated on addictions. I just asked you what your thoughts are on if you are not addicted to anything, and you go on about addictions. IOW, your statement "Being free from sin is not the same thing as not sinning. It just means your sinning does not control you." So what does that mean...

So are we still under the law? Or are we now lead by the Spirit? Romans 7 is about those under the law. Romans 8 shows freedom from sin walking in the Spirit. I see you may only relate to Romans 7...

You are mainly speaking of addictions. What are your thoughts if you are not addicted to anything sinful?

That was before Romans 8 that said he was now free from sin. You are reading out of context. Romans 7 iT how is was for those who only had the LAW (before Christ), but we have the Spirit that gives us power over sin. If your church is teaching otherwise, RUN!

Another hater I see.

If that's how you want to read it, so be it. I tried... True believers don't sin, so if you believe that, then we agree. This covenant is of the Spirit, not the Law, therefore the Spirit gives us power and Jesus condemned sin in the flesh, meaning we are in the Spirit not in the flesh. Those...

I agree. I've written out my testimonies and your post reminded me of this one I will paste here. Enjoy. A LESSON IN PRAYER I’ll never forget one of my first lessons in prayer. It was 1979 and I had only been saved and baptized with the Spirit for a couple years, and was still just a baby...

Yes, I agree. Questions are different from prayers that I have to wait on the Lord. It is conversation. I remember thinking about the word "sanctification" and that it is being set apart. The church seems to believe it is a process of overcoming sin. But once I came to realize that the desire to...

If God has to use an audible voice He's not inside. I hear him clearly without my ears. They are thoughts that come in a sentence, or even just one word, but with a word of knowledge or wisdom or prophecy following. But they are from inside me where He dwells. He has trained me to recognize His...
