I love John Wesley, and so did Jesus. I think and believe with all my heart, that it was John Wesley who Jesus wrote of in Revelation 3:4. And I also believe Martin Luther and John Calvin were who he spoke of in Revelation 3:1, who John Wesley fought against, especially Calvinism. I've written...

The writings of Paul are complicated though. Just ask Peter. He says many twist Paul's writings because they are "hard to understand." Romans 8:1 in Alexandria, cut off the condition that is so important. Without the condition there are whole denominations that believe Jesus forgives our "past...

"Anyone" is the same as "whosoever." That part of the verse is the same as John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." It is not what you think. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the...

Hi Gh, The first eight chapters of Romans is one teaching on the Law of God. From Adam to Moses; from Moses to Pentecost, the Old Covenant - the ministry of death, and from Pentecost to the Second Coming, the New Covenant of the Spirit - the ministry of the Spirit. We are all born sinners...

I was in church for 30 years from childhood but was not born again of the Spirit. Some denominations do not teach anything at all about the power of the Spirit for people to even ask for it. I know what you mean about the lack of love in the forums. I've been on different sites for about 20...

Who do you ask forgiveness from?

Did you know that the heresy only started 500 years ago with the Protestant Reformation? Up until that time, starting 3,500 years ago we see in Moses' day that God viewed sin in two different types after giving the children of Israel His laws. Unintentional trespasses, and willful breaking of...

Just for a moment, put what you've been fed for years to the back of your mind, and think about 1 John 3. Then ask yourself how can you know and love God if you don't have the power to keep His commandments because of the sin nature you haven't addressed. What about that?

The problem with your belief is you say nothing about what Jesus does about our sin, except that it is forgiven. Do you mean that a Christian keeps sinning over and over and it is forgiven over and over? HERESY! The only reason we are no longer under the Law is because Jesus cleanses our...

The Thief on the cross next to Jesus. I've heard many pastors teach that baptism is not necessary using the thief on the cross as an example. No where in the text does it say that he was not baptized, but they assume what they want to assume. But what did he say to Jesus? He said, 'remember me...

I've studied the Semitic writing style of the Apostles that we westerners do not understand. Also, Scripture explains scripture. Acts 20:24 But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the...

I would never doubt someone else's experience. That sounds wonderful!

I have more to say on this topic, dear friend. Romans 8:1-2 Open your mind to the wonder of the God and Creator of the Universe and everything that was made on them. Look up and try to imagine where it ends. Is there a wall? What is on the other side. It just keeps going on and on and it is...

Scott, when you speak of body of sin and death, are you thinking that our body of muscles, organs, blood, and skin and bones produces sin? No where does it say that, only that because of Adam's sin will our body that is dying day by day until it dies completely does not produce sin. That is why...

Why are you saying that the old man of sin and death doesn't fully die until after the body dies. At least, that is what I understand by the phrase "fully passes." If so, then you are wrong about the power of Christ and the meaning of crucifying the old man. It is dead. And what is resurrected...

Really? I guess I misunderstood your meaning here below: Not yet come?

Jesus coming "in the flesh" means what you think it means. A human body. "the flesh" is used two different ways, so discern the context. That does not mean that Jesus could sin, like other men who are "in the flesh" - the other meaning of the terminology. Do you know why Jesus could not sin? It...

Because of your first sentence, I added what you were referring to: Romans 7:5-6 Oh my, I'm going to have to delete your whole post, and try to break it down into your paragraphs. There is too much I don't understand... "the error of that statement? What about Romans 7:5-6 do you not...

I can't agree. This New Covenant is of the Spirit. Now! The New Covenant is supernatural, and a recreation of our nature to bring us back to Adam's state before he sinned. We have a clean nature like Adam was created with; a free will as both mankind and the angelic host were created with, but...

Hi Scott, This is a little confusing to me. Romans 8:9 says we are NOT IN THE FLESH, so why are you saying, "But in the flesh, we remain." Are you talking about yourself, or in general for mankind, not all of which are following Jesus? P.S. I just saw an earlier post of yours that I missed...
