    The Spirit Delivers From The Power Of The Flesh, The Spirit Gives Sonship, The Spirit Assures Of Future Glory, The Spirit Assures Of Final Victory

    Before I read further--yes, there is a wall of sorts, a gulf where "He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life." What is on the other side is God and the kingdom of God. And I never said, Jesus did not...

    The Spirit Delivers From The Power Of The Flesh, The Spirit Gives Sonship, The Spirit Assures Of Future Glory, The Spirit Assures Of Final Victory

    This is what the flesh is, what we were/are made of, and also the elements of this world and old earth: Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. Genesis 3:21 Also for Adam and his wife...

    The Spirit Delivers From The Power Of The Flesh, The Spirit Gives Sonship, The Spirit Assures Of Future Glory, The Spirit Assures Of Final Victory

    All born since Adam are born of flesh, of that "skin" that God gave to cover Adam and Eve, the children of death, and are technically dead from birth. This would-be life is not life at all, but the revealing of the man of sin (unlike "everyone born of the Spirit"), of form...which is to say...

    The Spirit Delivers From The Power Of The Flesh, The Spirit Gives Sonship, The Spirit Assures Of Future Glory, The Spirit Assures Of Final Victory

    It is this church age that is not complete, wherein all who are born again of the spirit of God remain until the passing of their flesh. Our spirit [body] is seated in heavenly places in Christ--but not this flesh body of sin and death which has not yet completed the race, or rather the wages of...

    The Spirit Delivers From The Power Of The Flesh, The Spirit Gives Sonship, The Spirit Assures Of Future Glory, The Spirit Assures Of Final Victory

    No, but it is the body of flesh that is made manifest, having form and "shadow of turning" (evil), which is not so of "all who are born of the Spirit."

    You are not "rightly dividing the word of truth." You can make whatever claims seem right to you, but in doing so, you do not change the fact that Jesus was both God and man--as He called called Himself "the Son of Man." So, no, it is not correct to use Jesus as an example if you do not...

    That is not what I said--not what I mean at all. On the contrary, that meaning (of Christ coming in the flesh) was only good for that generation. That came upon them, not us. What has come upon us of the following generations--was to believe what was/is taught, as opposed to what was/is true...

    The Spirit Delivers From The Power Of The Flesh, The Spirit Gives Sonship, The Spirit Assures Of Future Glory, The Spirit Assures Of Final Victory

    You are correct to say that ""(that body of sin still destined to die)" already died when, or if, someone has been born again of the Spirit of Christ"--but only because we all died in Adam. But you are dividing what God has joined together. Christ too was slain (crucified) before the foundation...

    The Spirit Delivers From The Power Of The Flesh, The Spirit Gives Sonship, The Spirit Assures Of Future Glory, The Spirit Assures Of Final Victory

    I will not keep repeating forever. But no, I knew nothing of the Reformationists, but learned all directly from God. As for the idea for or against "two types of sin"--such a teaching, is the teachings of men. As it is written, "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" and "the...

    Did John cease to exist in this world in the flesh? Are you saying he wrote from the kingdom of heaven? I jest--he too, like Christ, was not yet a spirit, not ascended. Of course he remained in the flesh--but within was a new creation--a new body, born of the spirit of God...to "guide him unto...

    The two-body wording is not mine, but Gods. One natural of the flesh, and the other of the spirit of God without flesh. This rather, is the born experience--even for Christ. Contrary to what you have said, we were not created as Adam was created, but were born of the seed and "skin" (flesh)...

    The Spirit Delivers From The Power Of The Flesh, The Spirit Gives Sonship, The Spirit Assures Of Future Glory, The Spirit Assures Of Final Victory

    I have not implied that "this supernatural life is after we die", but have clearly stated that we live with both bodies--the new Spirit body, and also the old man of sin and death--until that old man of flesh fully passes. Big difference. But, yes, do read everything I wrote, because I wrote by...

    A Purpose And A Test

    Yes, and there are many issues that come as a result of our (people in general) showing greater respect and appreciation for what would seem more and less important. That's not God, that is us doing what people are prone to do out of pride or jealousy, or even our own sense of insecurity. We...

    It is true that in the Spirit we are not in the flesh. But just as many things written among and about Israel who lived in those former days, much of it only pointed to things Israel themselves would not see, likewise much has been written in the New Testament that transcends these last days and...

    The Spirit Delivers From The Power Of The Flesh, The Spirit Gives Sonship, The Spirit Assures Of Future Glory, The Spirit Assures Of Final Victory

    I am not under the law of sin and death, born again and free in Christ. However, in my flesh, though it is dead to me, I serve Christ...which is the task given to His body (the Church) during these time. There is no full step into the Spirit for the church, except in the Spirit. But in the...

    The Spirit Delivers From The Power Of The Flesh, The Spirit Gives Sonship, The Spirit Assures Of Future Glory, The Spirit Assures Of Final Victory

    I need to isolate the above...because you are getting ahead of God. Any one person being born again in this world is enough to show the error of that statement, but God has allotted this unique two-part existence of all who are born again having two bodies, one flesh and one Spirit, for a...

    Flat Earth Theory

    I was saying that the Flat Earth craze is a CIA psyop. But yeah, NASA is no better.

    Yeah, it's an easy and convenient psyop smoke and mirrors, a cover-up distraction. CIA crap.

    Paul spoke and gave witness, saying, "I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. 22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the...
