You are saying a Christian serves the law of sin, right? Aren't you saying that Paul was describing himself in Romans 7 as a Christian and his desire is to serve the law of God, but his flesh serves the law of sin? I don't agree with that. But isn't that what you are saying? (the last verse of...

Yes. The word "were" is past tense. The Holy Spirit is powerful and when Christ takes away a sin, He takes away the desire for that sin, otherwise what's the point. That is why Scripture says also that in Him there is no sin. That is reality.

NO! You went back to Romans 7. We are NOT in the flesh, so how can you say you are and serve the law of sin? The law of the Spirit of life in Christ has freed me from the law of sin and death.

Even though Paul was not 1300 years give or take, I'll play along if you insist. Let's see your verse against key verses and the conclusion. Romans 7:13 Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good...

It really depends on if God grants you repentance. As far as Galatians 5:19-21 I have no desire to commit any of them, and I can't see heaven being glorious with those kinds of people there. Would you really commit any of those?

Who walk by the Spirit and not after the flesh. IOW, if we walk after the flesh we ARE condemned, because the power of the Spirit of Jesus is not in us. Our desires are not born again.

@marks I've been on this computer since I got up, and need to have my first cup of tea of the day. Please focus on Romans 8 and lets talk again. BFN

How can I not think that is what you are doing when you quote Romans 8:20 but don't see the conclusion Romans 8:2? You are still standing on Romans 8:20 and won't budge from that spot! Does it say what you want to hear? And how can I not be personal when I care about you? And exactly what...

Help me understand this statement. Did you feel guilty, and then learned doctrine to excuse your sinfulness? I just don't know if you still feel that way, or what.

It never was as bad as it is now before Roe vs. Wade. Then the parties just went further and further away from each other until now I can't even speak to my friends I grew up with!

Yes, it is, you just didn't read far enough. That is why I told you CONTEXT is more important than dissecting words. Don't you know that all the false doctrines are from taking verses out of context? You bought right into it! Just read in context.

1 John 1:7. Mark, as long as we walk in the Spirit we are free from sin. Jesus made that possible. The blood of Jesus continues to cleanse those trespasses. While we are walking in the Spirit we are loving and forgiving others making our own unknown sins cleansed. Jesus has done it all. We just...

Oh Mark, Mark, Mark. What am I going to do with you. You are quoting Romans 7!!! Take out the chapter break and read the conclusion and the resolution to the matter of SIN that dwelt in me. Romans 7:20 is ancient history in a Christian. 20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I...

The angels overcame the temptation to follow Satan. Revelation 2 and 3: Christians 7 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” ’ 11 “He who has an ear...

So that is before we become a Christian and receive the mind of Christ. Just confirming you are not one of those who believes we are always totally depraved.

I believe that when we are born again with a new nature we are still babes in Christ. It is the testing of our faith and the trials that come that make us overcomers. So it is by the time we die that determines if we overcame or not, and whatever state that is, will be our nature forever. So if...

God already knew Satan would rebel even though he was perfect. Adam was perfect also. Do you really think God was surprised? When that last day comes, God knows now there will not be anymore who will sin - forever. Jesus was chosen to die before the foundation of the world. That is even before...

You mean this is before we are born again, right?

The angels had never been tested and tried as we are. "2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." If we overcome...

What do you mean that "in heaven" we are freed from sin? We are free now! There will be no sinners going to heaven, only those who have become children of God. John 8:34-36; Revelation 22:11. Only the righteous and holy (now) will be with God forever. Those are the overcomers. There will be no...
