You are talking about our body of flesh that is visible, but that is not where sin resides. When your invisible carnal nature called "the flesh" has been crucified, you are free from sins unto death. That is the first phase of our faith by the Author of our faith, Jesus. The second faith is a...

Actually. In reality. Not sure what verse you are speaking of by "The cross takes the outer man out of the way." Romans 6:5-7 5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man...

The sin nature is crucified, but then resurrected. It is clean. And I have experienced the cross to that depth. Have you?

You can't hold your own thoughts as from God, but find the scriptures that verify those thoughts. I also am taught by God. But what I learn is always verified by His written word.

When Jesus cleanses our old sin nature to a clean nature when He makes us born again of the Spirit, we can partake of the divine nature of God. That is loving what He loves, and hating what He hates. That is the reality of a born again Christian. But there are many preachers on the radio that...

If you are going to respond to my verses, respond with your own.

Who have you been listening to? Fallen flesh? This is why Jesus said we must be born again of the Spirit. Notice that in Romans 7:5-6 being in the flesh is past. "5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to...

Not on your own, of course not. That is why it is not up to us. Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our faith, not us. Do you deny that Jesus takes away our (lawless vs. 4) sin, and in Him is no sin? Do you have any desire to break any of the commandments of God? I did. Adultery. I was a slave...

How do we put on the perfection of Christ?

James was comparing the Old Covenant law of commandments, which is all you are seeing. Read verse 12. That is the only one that is New Covenant. "12 So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty." That is liberty from the desire to sin when we were born again of the...

What is Abby Road? I certainly wish you would use the correct word for things.

Why are you using the word "body" for "soul". 1 Thes. 5:23 says we are made up of spirit, soul and body. The body is the outer, not the invisible inner.

I should have clarified it as eternal death, not physically yet. It is true that when we become born again we go from eternal death to eternal life. But if then you apostatize and willfully fall away from Christ, you go back to eternal death and there is no more repentance available. That is...

Now it looks like we have another word to talk about: BODY. In Romans 6 Paul has used "body" as "the whole" like The Beatles selling their whole body of works. Here body is "catalogue."

If He left it up to us, yes. But if you confess that you are too weak to stop sinning, and ask for His infilling of His powerful Spirit, and as a result Jesus takes away the desire to commit sins unto death it is not impossible at all. We are not the author of our righteousness, He is. After...

Don't start now. It has nothing to do with the death of our body. It has to do with the death of our soul.

What you are saying and believing is what will stunt your growth. You believe you are still a sinner. Therefore, "as a man thinks in his heart, so is he." I KNOW I've been freed from sin, and I reckon myself freed from sin, otherwise, I would sin like those who believe they sin. Consider...

If I read you right, you were saying when Paul uses the word "flesh" he is only speaking of our body. That is not true. The flesh was our carnal sin nature that has been taken away by Jesus. Romans 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, (past tense) the sinful passions which were aroused by the law...

Yes, because it doesn't have anything to do with what we do. Hebrews 12:2 shows us that it is Jesus who is the Author and Finisher of our faith. All we must do is repent of our weakness to be righteous ourselves. Many interpret repentance as "us turning away from sin." But in reality, once we...

I've now responded to two of your posts where you give NO scripture you base your beliefs on. Are there any?
